Title: Screwball - my first ever painted custom
Post by: xkappax on May 13, 2012, 12:50:39 PM
So... I'm very new to this customizing thing. I had a few customs made for me by hannaliten, and I decided that I'd try my hand on it. Soooo, back in November I bought a few ponies, prepped them, started painting the one... and then I just sort of stopped.

Yesterday, I saw it sitting there unfinished, picked up the rehairing tool and some hair, went outside in the back yard and worked until I finished it. This was my first time rehairing one myself (my husband helped me with the first one) and it is the first time I've ever painted one.

It's not the best custom in the world, but here is the result:

She's rehaired with dollyhair Sour Grapes and Moonlight (I think that's what it's called, could be completely wrong). I was going to use just a plain white, but the moonlight has some silvery qualities to it, and I decided to use that instead.

Anyway, hope you like her!

Thanks for all of your kind words on her! Seriously, this was my first time and I really thought I was going to screw her up terribly. I am not exactly the best at crafts. :)

You did well on your first, she's really cute and the FBR looks pretty smooth, great job! The silvery hair colour looks great with the shades of purple.

Thank you! I feel like I could have done a better job on the eyes were I not so shaky. I have the shakiest hand in the world. >_<
