My First Custom, Baby Little Flitter
« on: March 23, 2020, 02:23:31 PM »
I have tried a half dozen times, and can not get the pictures to post properly, so I'm just leaving a link (I hope that's ok!)
I may have gone a bit overambitious with this one, but I had a vision in mind, and I am currently in quarantine, so away I  went.
Baby Little Flitter was an HQG1 Teeny blank pony.   I painted her, which went pretty well.  A few missteps, and I will definitely be improving with practice.   
I rehaired her, and that was a job and a half.  I spent the first 4 hours struggling and losing 3 plugs for every one that stayed in.   Then it all clicked and I managed the last 1/3 of her mane without losing a single plug!   I should have styled before the wings, but you live and learn.
The wings are handmade and were also a bit of a learning curve.  I left tabs on each and fully intended to cut a slit in her back and feed the tab through.  Both tabs snapped off immediately, so I ended up using a thin needle to prop the wings and gluing them in place.
All in all, I am very pleased with her!   She is precious and I love how she turned out. 
Next pony will be a full custom.

Oh my goodness, you sure did pick a tiny pony for your first custom!  It looks like she came out really well though, she's super cute.  The wings you made are awesome!   :happy:
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:

She is precious!

Making wings for ponies is not easy and doing them for a teeny tiny is even harder, small scale does not always mean easier >_<
