Title: My latest custom
Post by: lonewolf on November 12, 2018, 05:01:24 PM
I's been a wille... wyle.... while... since I've done a brushable custom, so instead of another general thread for mine, I'm making a post for this one of a chatty character from FiM. I still have to put the hair on:

Started as a Rarity brushable. I trimmed down the horn, put 2 pieces of wire through it along with the tips of the ears, then used Sculpt It and body putty for models to make the horn and modify the ears. Also used this for the hair on the front legs.

 For the hair: I heated a needle and put new holes into the back legs and neck (at a down angle so it's easier to boil perm it). I'll have to curl it also. As for the tail: I'm going to try installing it, then using super glue, make the first half of it solid, leaving the end loose. Will cover the hardened part of the  tail with body putty to smooth it. I did plug the old hole and make a new one as I felt it was just too low (though hers is like that on the show).

I drew the scale lines out on the base coat of the scale color, then hand painted the darker color over the lines.
Only time will tell if I can pull this off.

Wow...that's just amazing!  :) This looks as if it was made by Hasbro, which honestly needs to release newer characters as brushables instead of a hundred mane six gimics. Usually most of the customs that I have tried end up being failed attempts.  :lol:

There's a kirin character in FiM? That's so cool! (Haven't been following the show for a long time now...)

The custom is looking great so far, I love the modified ears and painted on scales!

I've seen this girl all over the FiM Gameloft game, she's super cute!

Great job! It honestly looks as if it was made by Hasbro themselves. The detail and paint work on this is simply beautiful, you must have a super steady hand lol!  :)

This looks great so far! I wish Hasbro would actually made them as actual brushables now :P Can't wait to see the finished custom :)

Looks really good so far! The scales look so cleanly painted on, I can’t wait to see it with hair!

Awesome, great job!

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull it off, but it came out good enough. It's just hard to make brushables with something that has mane like that.

It's Tigerlilly from Dollyhair. I also got Jack-o-Lantern, but felt it was too shiny and red. Tigerlilly matched up nicely to images of her I printed out, and the muted look helped.

I've seen this girl all over the FiM Gameloft game, she's super cute!

Great job! It honestly looks as if it was made by Hasbro themselves. The detail and paint work on this is simply beautiful, you must have a super steady hand lol!  :)

It's steady for now. XD And yeah Autumn, and Kirin in general have become a hit.
I mean how can you not like this face?

To keep yet another custom thread of mine from getting auto locked and force me to make another, I'll post my latest "pony trucks".

First is a Starlight Glimmer themed one:

I'm hoping for an interesting character to pop up in FiM season 9 to make a custom of. Wind Sprint is one idea, but it's hard to find the G4 fillies now.

I had to give Wind her unamused look. It's just too funny.  :P
