Title: A few customs by me :) (pics)
Post by: TwistedRiver on April 13, 2014, 07:43:21 PM
I've played at customizing on and off for a few years now, but it seems I rarely finish any of my customs or at least not to a degree that I am at all happy with them. But I've gotten three finished since 2014 started and I am quite happy with the results.
First up is Baby Blue Moon. She came to me as a poor cancer ridden Baby Moondancer and seeing as I already owned a Baby Moondancer in much better condition I decided to try my hand at customizing her. This little girl was a pain in the butt since during the repaint process I lost all of the holes for her main and had to guesstimate where the plugs went. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Painted with acrylics and rehaired with DollyHair (can't remember the exact three colors anymore) and her cheek mark and symbol were lightly dusted with glitter powder.
Next up is a G1 to G3 Pony. For my birthday I received a Donkey Pose Minty that was in much better condition than the one I'd found at a thrift store a few years back, so I decided to keep the new one and give the old one a new life. Since Minty is one of my absolute favorite ponies and G1 Minty was the second pony I ever got and I don't know I kind of miss the shamrock symbol I decided to change up my G3 Minty so that she could go back to her roots so to speak. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
She was repainted (eyes and symbols) with acrylics and rehaired in Dollyhair White Witch.
Last but not least was a gift for my sister (Hannah66665 here) who has the beginnings of a Cotton Candy army. This little lady came to me as a baity condition Doodles and I knew at first sight that I could give her a new life as well as make a special preset for a friend.

Painted with acrylics and rehaired with DollyHair Pussycat.
And because I always seem to go a little camera happy, here's a group shot of the three. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Anyway I'd love any advice/input I can get. Thanks for looking. :)

Sorry rybett but Minty is here to stay. She is a lovely addition to my growing Minty army.

Thanks everyone! I've been real shy about sharing any of my customs on here because I see so many amazing works of art that I just don't feel like I can come close to creating. It really boosts my self esteem to hear that others do think my girls are worth looking at. *huggles*
The sleeping eyes were a happy accident actually. XD I'd taped off her eyes before starting the repaint and as somewhere between the second and third coat of paint I realized they looked like closed lids.
