He sold the week following his completion.
The woman who bought him kept in contact with me on deviantART and told me she planned on taking him to a live show in May. Today, she got back with me to tell me the results, and here's what she said:
"Me again! Just wanted to let you know I took this guy to his first model horse show yesterday and he did AWESOME! He won champion in a pretty good sized fantasy custom section and then went on to win a Top 5 overall in the VERY competitive custom division, against some gorgeous (and "real") horses! :D"
[UNPROFESSIONAL SCREAMING OF HAPPY]
I expected him to place decently - maybe a third at most. I never expected him to take home a champion ribbon!! Ah I'm beside myself!!
This is definitely motivation to work on my next one!
Be right back, I'm just gonna go die of happiness now!
This is seriously a huge moment for me. It's one thing to create a custom and take it to a show, but it's a whole other thing for someone to buy your custom, take it to its first show AND COME BACK A CHAMPION IN THEIR DIVISION.
Just-
May I have a moment?
