Tron themed G3 and Scooter/Light Cycle for PonyCon
« on: May 08, 2021, 08:19:37 AM »
Hi ponies,

I wanted to share with you my custom G3 Tron custom and scooter/light cycle. She was made from a G3 blank pony, given to me by PonyCon.

She is up for auction on eBay, with all the money going to the Riding for the Disabled.

Oh wow, that's so cool! I love the soft faceup, the neon glow and her gradient hair. Hope she fetches a good price!

Thank you both :)

She was so much fun to make, I got to really push my airbrushing skills.

What a cool custom! The tiny flag symbol is incredible and that glowing effect is amazing -- was it really achieved with an airbrush?

The Pony is up to Kittywink standards, so of course impressive enough.

But what really intrigues me is the SCOOTER!!! And the helmet!!!  :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw:

Her face is gorgeous! I was wondering if you'd airbrushed her (until you confirmed it in the thread lol), she has that beautiful soft intensity of older airbrushed toys and it looks amazing with the more futuristic design!

So like everyone else said, WOW!!! WOW! The airbrushing effect is STUNNING for the glowing lines and spots, it's just a great effect you absolutely NAILED. And I love her cart, I think my favorite part is the back tail light - I actually had to zoom in, because from the minimized photo the MLPArena uses, it actually looks like it's glowing, and I had to zoom in and make sure that wasn't some kind of filter or after-effect. THAT'S AMAZING!!!! She's a stunning work of art, I hope she makes a lot of money for your charity!! :heart:

*bows very low*

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments, I am so glad you appreciate the work and effects I put into making her.

I used a combination of airbrush and hand panting to achieve the glowing effect and OSL/object source lighting effect. I knew what I wanted to do and achieve with this custom. It was a fantastic challenge for me, I have not done very much detail work with my airbrush, so doing the fine lines got me to really get to grips with control. I'd only used my airbrush for full body repaints and cheek blush before now.

For the faceup, I was going for a cyber/android/Ghost in the Shell type look, standard MLP eyes and make up just wouldn't do :) I dip dyed her mane and tail, they were originally both white on the G3 project pony.

I customised her whilst listening the the TRON legacy sound track (I like to get an atmosphere going). When she was finished, she was sat on my desk, and I was looking at her while the music played, but I felt something was missing. Then I had an epiphany, I just I HAD, HAD, HAD to make a lightcycle and helmet. My favourite parts of the Tron films (original and legacy) are the LIGHTCYCLES, she just *needed* one, which of course meant she needed a helmet with visor (though helmets were worn in the original Tron film most of the time).

:blush: I am a bit of a nerd sometimes.

Oh dang that is wonderful! The only thing better than a custom pony is a custom accessory/plaything to go with it.
