Title: My first custom rehair and symbol paint
Post by: TornadoLovesMelody on November 20, 2019, 12:04:13 PM
So I have been wanting to customize ponies for well over 15 years now but have never really gotten around to it for the fear of failing the rehairs.

I tried the "easiest" rehair version (rehairing tool and glue on the inside of the head) just to have done a rehair and get my first custom done.
The one custom I did back in the day (20 years ago) was literally just a newborn fakie painted black with a symbol on it so that hardly counts.

This one was made from a really bad Baby Splashes with marks (no cancer), no symbol, faded rusty miscolored tail and mane.
Even though I know I need to get used to the paint and the rehairing process I am quite pleased with how she turned out.
Now to give her a name :P

Aww she looks so pretty! You did a great job!  :thumb:
Hmm, but what new name?
Trying to think of things involving paw prints, tracks, ah, so tricky!!

I always think the rehair is the easiest part! You did great!
I always think washing the hair and wrapping it around the leg makes it look a bit better, if you're worried the hair looks flat.

You did a really great job ! She's so lovely !
With her pose, the pink mane and yellow body, she reminds me of Posey. But she has paws as her symbol... how about Pawsey for her name ? :P

There's nothing wrong with using the reahair tool method :) She looks great! Very cute symbols.

Thank you so much - I know, right?
I thought of Pawsy or something since there is already a Baby Paws but was wondering if I should just call her "Baby Prints" due to certain other ideas I have in my mind :P

She's very pretty, I love the colours and her TAF pawprint design!
Thank you! :D

Thank you! Yes, I will give her hair some styling but I wanted to allow the glue to set for 24 hours before trying anything - just incase xD

She is very cute! :)

Thank you :)

Hahahaha!
Thank you so much :D I too was thinking along those lines!

Thank you so much. I just feel like I should learn to use the lock and loop to make it hold better and be prettier inside the head (because I want to customise a transparent pony soon :D )

Congratulations on making your first custom after many years of collecting.

She looks like a friend for Baby Katie :D

So cute! I like the TAF look as well. You did such a nice theme and colors that it almost looks like it could be an official design.

Name her pawnella since of the paws and the colors being combined into a interesting name
