Title: Cross-gen Custom (G5-G3) Hitch Trailblazer
Post by: Leave a Whisper on June 17, 2021, 09:42:01 PM: https://little-kunai-3.tumblr.com/post/654300931514646528/cross-gen-custom-g5-g3-hitch-trailblazer

He's not the best I've done. I can't seem to make mixed paint colors smoother yet. He's okayish I suppose. His symbol didn't turn out great, but not completely terrible for someone who can't draw worth a crud. I didn't like the dog patch on his chest and stomach, so I didn't bother with it. His socks came out nice. His star n stripe is a tad crooked.

Model Used: Baby Bellaluna

Dyed with:
Dyemore Peacock Green
Dyemore Tropical Teal

Painted in;
Mix of Tropical Orange/Sunbeam/Sun-kissed Peach
Layered Wicker White over Granite
Burnt Sienna
Antique Copper

Your wee Hitch is looking good xxx

I think the paint color/mix looks fine...it seems smooth enough to me, I've seen him pictured in such a color range from yellow to orange that until the movie or toys actually come out, his color seems open to interpretation anyway. I like his socks, and the hair color looks spot-on!

Thank you, its a good mould for him. G3 baby pony moulds would be good for all of them, if they had ever made baby unicorns.
