Oof... my FIRST ever custom... if it can be called that... was a bbe bait... I "sculpted" Pegasus style wings and a terrible horn for it out of Greenstuff... which shouldn't stick properly... painted over the whole mess with white paint... and did symbols out of ?I think? Gel pen...

I still have the monstrosity... buried in the back of my "shame shelf" of customs I could do better and the general B Team of my collection. One of these days (when I get the customs bug again, I can feel it maybe stirring... so that's a good sign ill jump back in the game in the near future) I'll do a proper remake of poor Princess Frozen Dreams...

Or not.

She's *technically* my first ever custom but I consider baby Fizzy my first, and F.D. more of a misguided protocustom.

ok, so for starters, my partner had some awesome choices on her list, among which was a GINORMOUS list of pokemon. i was in the mood to make something a little simpler so i could just have a nice quick swap project so pokemon it was! i settled on Luxray, cuz... awesomeness... and i knew early on i was prolly gonna make a second custom instead of adding extras, cause thats how i roll...

but then i got to thinking... the extra would prolly be Shinx, cause adorbs... but then... theyd have two of the three forms... so... why not...

make all 3? who needs fast easy swaps anyways? =3

luckily they went insanely fast, which was a pleasant change of pace for me. i typically take forever to get in the mood to CREATE, so its usually a last minute rush with no sleep and much stress. blah blah blah enough words, on to pics! (which i actually dont have too many of this time around. oops. one downside to working fast is i kinda space on proper photoshooting, so feel free to add more pics later on dash!)

i tried to save time and asked Mr Elu to prime them for me when i was at work so i could start painting as soon as i got home... little did i know his lack of artistic ability reached to simple priming too. lol ended up taking up 3 more days of sanding, acetoning away drips and puddles, repriming, more sanding, initial paintwork just to find more "leprocy", acetoning, and careful priming and more sanding before i was able to live with the remaining bumps in the paintwork. he kept saying 'i told you so' but im sure with more practice, SUPERVISED practice, he'll be able to handle at least priming for me haha!
