My very first custom. A G3 strawberry pony!
« on: July 10, 2015, 01:29:18 AM »
Today I tried my hand at customisation, and have made a strawberry-themed pony.

I've wanted G1 Sugarberry for years but haven't been able to get her... I recently acquired a baity Toola-Roola, and decided to do my own take and cover her in leaves and strawberries  :blush:

I used student acrylics, and the nylon is White Chocolate from Dollyhair. I have never painted before and I made some mistakes, though I will keep trying. I don't post much, but seeing the many stunning customisations here on the Arena inspired me to create my own, so I wanted to say thank you and share this with you. I really love her. All she needs now is a name  :heart:

She turned out beautifully, especially considering the fact that she was your first! I really hope that you will keep up both customizing and posting!

That is a wonderful and challenging first custom.  You might want to try and thin your paint, and do several light coats to get a nice even finish next time.  You are ahead of me, I have yet to rehair, I just stick to sculpting manes/tails.

Thanks to SdS for my avie

For me, rehairing was the easier option, but sculpted manes & tails are beautiful! Thank you for the suggestion to thin my paint. I'll definitely give it a go :)
