Moevelvet's WIP Thread

[moevelvet]

I figure this will be a good way to get myself motivated!  Here are the three customs I'm currently working on.  Please excuse my mess!

First up is Haute Couture Bow Tie

Bow Tie arrived to me in a lot of baits.  I nicknamed her 'French Bow Tie' almost right away - I'm not sure why.  (She's not French)  As I was removing her hair, I noticed that her scalp had split.  I've decided that she needs a glamour treatment.  She's going to get cleaned, repainted and rehaired (somehow), and I'm going to make her a one-of-a-kind designer outfit.

Next is Thrice As Fancy Bright Eyes

She arrived to me as a bait pony.  Major symbol rubs, chipped eyes, and cut hair.  She's going to be made into a companion for Thrice As Fancy Gingerbread (pic in spoiler).  First thing is to see if I can polish up those eyes.  Then, a fancy new repaint and lots of rhinestones!!

Finally, we have My Little Chocobo

I bought this Celestia what seems like ages ago, for a completely different custom.  I knew virtually nothing about customizing, and I messed up badly.  The poor girl has been sitting around ever since, her head cut off, no tail, no wings, and gouges from an xacto knife on her legs.  The inspiration came when I was playing Final Fantasy XIV with my brother, and I asked him when I would be able to get a chocobo.  He googled it and told me the name of the quest: My Little Chocobo.  I had to do it.  This custom is going to take a LOT of sculpting, and when I'm done will (hopefully!) have poseable wings and real feathers.

I think the chocobo one is going to be interesting (I love Chocobos so I'm excited to see this one) How are you going to get it to balance on the two legs?

I'm planning to reposition the legs and add toes to the feet.  If it still can't stand up after that, I'll have to make a base!
