Great colors.  I like how vibrant she is. The black contrasts nicely. Good job on her apron face too.

I’m digging the style you have going for Nettle! Very cool. I love a lime pony.  :iconclap:

Wow, she really pops! A great first custom :D

It looks like your paint was maybe too thick. You can thin it with a little water for next time :)

As others have said, the color combo is really wonderful!  FBRs are a challenge, but she looks great.

Great work! G4s are tough to customize, and I love the colors, and the mane/tail too!

She looks wonderful, I really like the colours and patterns you gave her!

Painting is a learning curve and so much can depend on the materials you use - the brand of paint, the quality and size of the brushes and so on. And sometimes even the bait. G4 are tough because their body and head are made of different types of material so the paint may adhere differently unless you use a primer. But you did well, I'm looking forward to your second custom!  :lovey:

Ooh, she looks great!  I love the color combo you used and you did a great job of rehairing.  I can't do FBRs at all without an airbrush so you've done very well!
