bit of general custom help

[Stormpony6]

the custom i am making is coming along quite nicely  but i am waiting on some hair to come as i made such a n00b mistake and used all of one colour in the tail without keeping any for the mane >.<


my question is whether i should paint the eyes now or rehair then paint?

[gemini_pony]

I do all my paiting first, then seal then re-hair.

It's up to yourself really Personally I paint then rehair, just because the hair gets in my way! Though I know others prefer to hair and then paint incase of cracking or dirtying the paint when you're handling it.

[Stormpony6]

its painting of the eyes so it shouldnt crack but thanks that helps

[sd_dreamcrystal]

usually paint and seal the eyes first, mostly because you want to avoid the hair accidentally hitting the wet paint/sealer But whichever way works for you

I would paint and seal, then hair. I made the mistake of re-hairing first only once and will never do so again lol. It becomes really hard to keep all the hair out of the way when you are trying to paint.

I also paint & seal first then rehair - nothing cracked so far! =)

Good luck =)

lol  I do the opposite of everyone it seems.  I rehair first, then paint the eyes.  Unless it's a full body repaint, then I'll paint first.  It's all in what you're comfortable with.

Lavender_Lace, I'm a freak like you! lol ... I always rehair, then paint. It's just my process I guess.
If I do a full body repaint, I do the FBR, then rehair, then paint the design. Because I'm weird like that.

[jupiternwndrlnd]

its really a matter of preference

tho it is nice to see I'm not the only freak who rehairs first!

[Kanthaka]

Either way works!  I used to paint first, but now I do whichever I can find time and energy for.   Little hair clips and rubber bands do a decent job of keeping hair out of the way.
