The Only G1 Custom I May Ever Do
« on: August 26, 2016, 05:10:59 PM »
Hi all,

I don't usually post over here, but I thought I'd share.  I haven't found a Rapunzel at a flea market yet (hey, it'll happen) so I decided to go ahead and make one.  I've never been much into customs, some are very pretty, but I'm more into restorations.  I've gotten pretty good at restorations so it's hard for me to find ponies I wouldn't feel guilty about customizing.

This was a TAF Love Melody who would have needed a full body re-paint, then all her symbols re-painted, then her hair-re-pinked, so I figured, why not give it a go?  Looking at the photos, I think I need to re-curl her hair, but for a first try ever, I think she turned out pretty good.  I totally cheated on the symbols.  No matter what I tried I couldn't get the lines thin enough, so I re-colored a scan of Rapunzel's symbol in paint.net and just printed it off and glued it to her, then sealed it, so it looks painted.

I have the supplies to do a traditionally colored G3 and G4 of her, and I won't feel guilty murdering Pinkie Pies, so I think I'm going to try more versions of her.  It is a little addictive, I'll give it that.

I agree with everyone else, I'm loving that dark purple!! ^_^ Great color scheme! I love seeing all of the variants of Rapunzel - I don't have one myself (probably never will!) so this is a really great alternative! ^_^ And the printed symbol looks really nice, too! I'm glad it worked out for you!

Thanks so much everyone!  I was really worried that since so many customizers are so good, that folks would hate her because of the cheater symbols.  But I really just made her for myself, so I guess it wouldn't matter.  I figured out how to get her curls to hang more nicely!

She is very pretty and I am in love with the shades of purple you used for her!  The curls and the flowers in her hair also add a nice touch :D
