In a recent Mythology swap on the Arena, I was assigned to make a pony for love-my-twins. She had both Aphrodite and Cupid on her list, and since my concept for Aphrodite was somewhat simple, I decided to make Cupid as well.

Aphrodite was made from a Moondancer. I kept her original hair since it seemed to suit her. It has been styled and is held together with Apoxie Sculpt, which was also used for her shawl. The clasp is a seashell, token of her birth from the sea, and she also has a ruby-colored gem as a beauty mark. She was based on various Hellenistic statues of Aphrodite.

Cupid was made from a Dollar General fakie. His mane and tail are sculpted with Apoxie Sculpt, as are his wings, which are based on G1 style wings. He also has a sculpted "laurel wreath" of hearts. His symbol of a bow and arrow shows his occupation, and he has another heart on his nose to be silly. Both ponies were given completely new-painted eyes and were signed and sealed.
