A Handful of Customs
« on: June 19, 2021, 03:49:25 PM »
Hello there! I've been working my way up to doing customs again, and here are some of the victims results!

G4 Fluttershy, made with... G4 Fluttershy?

Mini Mimics made with a blind bag and one of the little figures that comes with Hershey's Kisses. I know her colors are kind of off model...

I've just been calling this one Sunset. Let me know if you have any name suggestions!



I promise I'll have something more exciting to share soon! Getting back into customizing after years away is proving a bit more challenging than I expected, but I'm so happy to be back on the Arena and posting customs again.

I've got more pictures up on my Instagram for any pony folks who hang out over there. Everyone but Fluttershy is up for sale over here if any of them call to you. Prices are on the low side since they're... you know, a bit flawed.

I love seeing G4 random figures customized, she looks so sweet! The Fluttershy is a favorite too, that hair shade is so perfect for her!

I love that Fluttershy! Her eyes are gorgeous and the hair is fab. The little mimics are cute!

Thank you for the kind comments, friends -- especially about the Mimics! I'm way more shaky and arthritic than I was the last time I was customizing, so detail work is a real challenge. :P

They are all beautiful! The tiny Mimics are wonderfully detailed and I love the colours on Sunset, so pretty! Fluttershy has such lovely eyes, I think you captured her personality much better compared to the original toy!  :enthralled:

Fluttershy's lashes and hair are so lush.
The Mini Mimics are very well done.
Sunset is gorgeous! I love how you did the dye, and his hair blend is lovely.
Thanks to TheRockinStallion for my Ponysona Artless

Wow, incredibly beautiful Sunset!  :cool: That name is just perfect for her.  :ohyeah:
(These names also came to my mind from the pony: Afterglow or The Evening Dusk.)
I wish I had that color of hair too!  :lovey:

These are lovely.  The first thing I thought when I saw your sunset pony was the Horsehead Nebula.  The colors remind me of it.

Thank you, thank you! I really like the name Afterglow; that's an awesome suggestion.

I've got a couple more small projects to share, if you all don't mind!

Mini Quackers. (I redid Mimic's eyes to match hers too!)

Restored Baby Stockings. Not a technically a custom, but she did need to be rehaired and repainted! Her before picture is under the spoiler.

I love the eyes on Quackers! Poor baby Stockings, she looks so sad in the before pic. You restored her so well! I can't tell at all that she had a missing spot in her eye. Did you redo the whole eye?

Btw, it's okay for you to start a new thread for new customs :) They get more exposure that way!

Thank you! Yeah, I ended up repainting her pupils and irises entirely; that warm gray was really hard to match perfectly, so it was easier to just redo the entire thing.

And thank you for the reminder. I didn't want to clog the forum with tiny side projects, but it is nice to get more comments!
