First of all, I apologize for not having the results posted when promised. It was very hard for me to decide, and I ended up going to my family to break the tie. Being they are not pony people (They are all rather amused that I do this and tend to say things like "Well, that's certainly... unique." about my work.) they were quite helpful, since they were looking at designs without seeing all the technical work that would be needed to make them.

Second of all, thanks so much to all who entered! I want to sit down and make all the designs, but I don't have that kind of free time. XD

So, the winners:

First Place: Dark-Memory with Nature Strikes Back [link]

I LOVE this design. The hair, the ears, the tree trunk legs, all of it. It's going to take me a while to get the sculpting right, but I cannot wait to start. I hope I can do it justice!

Runner Up (will be done as a baby pony) Moonfeather with Egyptian Dreams [link]

I've always wanted to do an Egyptian-themed pony, and this design is incredibly striking. Figuring out how to get the hair to look like that without restoring to sculpting is going to difficult to say the least.
