Aww, cheer up, Kimono. It's your anniversary! Tomorrow, February 8, KT turns one year old. Hooray! I dedicate this strip to my husband, who as a child, very nearly knocked himself out with his nunchaku. ~_^ Thanks to all my fans, who have made this such a fun and rewarding year.

I akways love how you capture expressions with different poses, especially with this Kimono custom. Made out of a Twinkle Twirl, right?
OMG is that a little Bonsai tree in the window? *adore* Did you make it yourself?
Thank you so much! ^_^ The Kimono in these shots is a mishmash, actually. It's the top half of the iceskating pony, along with a loose head. I used two different heads in these shots.
And that is a bonsai! I didn't make it; it came with a Barbie playset. There are also some tiny ammonite fossils next to the bonsai. Didn't make those either. Mother Nature gets the credit. ~_^
Happy (early) anniversary Kimono (and Minty)! And Dava! ^^
And thanks! :D Who'd have thought I'd stick it out for a whole year?
Yep, the variants are all custom-made by me. Ponies are decidedly unposeable, so I needed as many poses as I could get.
The comic usually takes about two hours to put together, depending on how many panels there are. If I have to build a new set, it takes a bit longer. I think the longest one to put together took about five hours (Minty vs. The Gumball Machine), and the shortest one took about an hour (first appearance of the Dream Fairy).
The mini bonsai *IS* really cute, I have to admit, and the poses are wonderful! What is really bad is that I CAN picture a pony using a nunchuck... *whooshwhooshwhoosh* over the ears, *whooshwhooshwhoosh* under my hooves *rears up, whooshwhooshwhoosh* and between my ears *whoosh-WHACK!!!* So... are WE going to get to see her playing with the nunchucks? :) :) :)
Watching someone getting knocked out always helps :)
The way you combine poses to make Kimono lie down creates such an expressive image -- she really does look sad, and that can't be easy to do when Hasbro only creates smiling ponies. ;)

Thanks! :D I'm working on getting some dismantled Minty pieces next, so I can do similar things with her. And yeah, it ain't easy when Hasbro makes them all with big ol' grins. There are a few times when I've resorted to airbrushing the smirks off their faces, like when Kimono had an icepack on her head, or when Minty was begging to have the heat turned up.
Oh heavens. The image in my head from Minty. :D
Happy (early) Anniversary Dava, Kimono, Minty and the rest of the KT crew! :D
And thanks! I'll be celebrating KT's anniversary with ice cream, I think. Hooray! :D
