My Little Pony Alters – WTH!

So I was prepping for an upcoming Gathering Magic article and came across some weird stuff. Apparently a Google search for “my little pony pics” takes you straight to Purgatory, where there is a thriving market for after-market My Little Pony ALTERS.

Yes. Just like with MTG card alters or fleshy survivors in New Phyrexia, Ponies are stripped down and re-formed with enhancements, augmentations, new colorization and other changes. The mastermind behind this? Finland artist Mari Kasurinen.

Does anyone remember the Pretty Parlor jingle? Here’s the parody: My Little Pony / Phyrexian Parlor / Sever the Flesh and Cut Your Hair

Take a look at some of these crazy My Little Pony alters. (Mari is Spippo on DeviantArt and @Mari_Kasurinen on Twitter). http://marikasurinen.com/sculpting

Poll Results

According to voters:

Sorin Markov and Chandra Nalaar have the best planeswalker hair.

You would most like to get your ass kicked by Liliana of Innistrad.

Batterskull will have the biggest impact on Standard.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Sheoldred, the Whispering One are equal in hotness.

Classic Corpses Body Shop t-shirt giveaway (update: @CMDRDecks won the drawing!)

Hey everybody! I made up this tee for my husband and a handful of family/friends, and I've got one left over. I'd like to give it away as a thank you to everyone who's been encouraging and supporting me as I work to be a contributing member of the Magic community. Twitter followers, Facebook friends, the folks at our local game shop...y'all rock. Since my Creative Suite skills are still in process at this time, the text layout was done by local print shop Fishead (the best customer service ever, located just outside of Portland in Milwaukie, Oregon). The shirt features a pin-up style Liliana Vess designed by me. If you are interested in being entered in the drawing for the remaining size medium tee, please leave a comment below, post on my FB wall, email me, or Twitter @ me in the next 24 hours so I can let you know if you win! Drawing will be held Wednesday evening. The shirt is a regular cotton tee, no fancy American Apparel yet. ;) This was a personal project so this particular design will not be reprinted. Many other designs to come, however!

"Limited edition" Liliana Vess Classic Corpses Body Shop t-shirt, men's size medium (easily fits an average woman, too)
