Title: Need opinions on cutie mark placement (WIP)
Post by: LadySiha on September 03, 2013, 05:26:51 PM
So, I've been working on my first custom for quite awhile.  Mostly, because I've slowly been amassing customizing supplies as I'm working on her.  I finally painted on her cutie mark and I love how it turned out (so no way I'm taking it off) and I think I maybe should have done it on the other side :huh:.  So, I was thinking maybe I should do the marking on both sides.  However, there's probably to way I'll be able to get them symmetrical.

Cutie Mark Side (still needs some clean-up):

I'm probably still gonna put a furry bit along the top of the lower cloth bit on her front leg.

My favorite angle (probably how I'd display her if I don't change the CM):

Non-Cutie Mark Side (with that pretty buckle!):

I'd love to hear back some opinions!  Thank you!!
(And, sorry the pictures are so blurry..... >_<)

I like it a lot just on the one side :)

Hmmm. I think what I'd do is, paint a complimentary but non-symmetrical CM on the other side. That way both sides look nice without having to worry about getting a perfect copy. She looks great so far! :D

I love how she's coming along so far, I can't wait to see how she turns out. When I do my customs, I usually just do one side for the cutie mark, I'm too much of a perfectionist that I would go crazy trying to make both sides match up perfectly that I would never end up finishing a custom lol :P

totally agree on this.
i do this on any non-hasbro ponies. i think it's fun and gives a more unique style to the pony.
looks great!
