Title: UPDATED Nov 25: Sunshine29102's Custom Ponies: G1 to G4 Fashion Style MEDLEY
Post by: sunshine29102 on June 12, 2014, 09:50:04 AM
* Rather than posting individual threads for each of my customs, I decided to do one thread and just
update it as I go/complete my projects. *



UPDATED November 25, 2014
So today I finished up my custom pony for my partner in the Horns & Skulls Swap.  I can't show pics yet, since my partner needs to receive her first.  I hope she likes the custom pony I made for her.

But, I DID realize it's been a super long time since I last posted pics of a finished custom.  That's due to the fact that I haven't actually COMPLETED a custom pony in quite a while since work has been keeping me busy.  Also, laziness... Enough said.  And I was procrastinating waiting for Dollyhair.com to restock colors before placing an order. 

I finished this girl today.  She was one of my most favorite G1 ponies from my childhood.  Probably because she's my favorite color -- green.  And also, because who doesn't love glitter?!?!  Medley and Firefly were two of my take-everywhere ponies!  I also finished up a G1 to G4 Firefly, but apparently forgot to take pics of her.  Here's Medley...

And here she is with Firefly, before they got their hair rooted. 


And this girl is a G1 who holds a special place in my heart.  She's awaiting her sculpted symbols, but I finally have hair and tinsel for her.  Looking forward to finishing her up and displaying her with the army.  Any guesses on who she might be?

And I think my next G1 to G4 custom ponies will be my other childhood favorites:  Gusty, Glory, Moondancer, and Surpise.  Surprise will probably be first, because I'm really itching to use the Electric Banana haircolor again.  I don't know why. 

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I also have a sculpted LOZ "Epona" and a Sweetheart Sister mold "The Last Unicorn" to finish painting.  Not to mention an almost completed Michonne (The Walking Dead) pony to go with my Merle, Daryl and Andrea customs I did earlier this year.  Would love to finish all of these up by the end of the year so I can start on some other projects that I probably won't finish for months.   :blush:

Thanks again for looking, y'all!





And, in OLDER News...
Updated 9/3/14
Nothing much to update here today, but I did finish rehairing a fashion style Rainbow Dash in the full set of 6 show accurate colors.  Finished baking two other sculpts and about to begin another fashion style custom or two.  Thanks for looking! :)

Rainbow Dash with Show Accurate Hair Colors
Forgive my really bad camera phone pics...  It's a little hard to see the individual colors, as they blend when the hair's been brushed.  Also, this FS 'bait' had the absolute WORST uneven factory plug pattern I've ever seen.  I think whoever operated the hole-punching machine that day was intoxicated...

Updated 8/21/14
Custom G1 as "My Pretty Pony"
Spoiler
So, I had an extra hank of dollyhair in "Goldilocks" lying around after I rehaired the My Pretty Pony I have in my collection.  And I thought maybe I should make a smaller, G1 version since I had only one hank of hair left anyway and I haven't customized a G1 as of yet.  This was my first time customizing a G1 pony, and she's nothing fancy -- just a regular old FBR and rehair.  I think she turned out alright, but she's not really on my "Favorites" list of customs I've created.  I would consider selling her, if anyone is interested.  Just make me an offer. :)
SOLD - Thanks to starrwolff -- you're my very first MLP custom sale ever!!! :hug:

*Updated 7/23/14*
A quick WIP update
Spoiler
Work's been keeping me super busy lately, so I've got a lot of projects still in progress.  I've also had to order some new rooting and poker needles from the lovely Barbed Dragon, as well as wait on an order from Dollyhair.com to arrive. 

Here's a quick shot of all my current WIPs.

* So, I'm still working on "Andrea" and "Michonne" sculpted Fashion Style G4 ponies to go along with my Daryl and Merle ponies. Just need to finish up their paint jobs and seal them. Here's a rather uninteresting pic of them in progress.

* Also still working on my G1 to G4 Medley. Just need to root/glue her mane and she'll be all done.

* Still working on a sculpted "The Last Unicorn" custom on a G1 Sweetheart Sister base.  She's been sculpted, baked and basecoated.  Just needs some paiting done.  Not particularly proud of her, but oh well... Will post some pics when I finish her up.

* Waiting on my bait condition Collector's Pose pony to arrive for another custom project I've been thinking of. More to come soon!

* Oh, and then I've got a custom rehair project to make this G4 girl's mane and tail show accurate.  Here's a sneak peek.

Please click the spoiler for updates/pics.

I somehow managed to get six days off from work (without asking - I might add!), and I've been busy doing some stress releiving pony customization.  While I've been waiting for the hair to arrive for my my G1-G4 Firefly and Medley, I decided to do the sculptwork on my other two customs. To go along with the custom Daryl and Merle Dixon ponies I did, I've now made two more characters from "The Walking Dead" -- Michonne and Andrea.  They're fresh out of the oven, and are now cooling and awaiting paint jobs. 

Here's a WIP sneak peak...

Paint and glitter is finished on these two childhood favorites of mine. Just waiting on their hair to arrive.

Thinking of doing Gusty, Glory, Moondancer, Seashell and Bubbles next. Also want to do Cotton Candy, Minty and the other collector ponies as well.


Here's an update/WIP pics of my G1 to G4 Firefly & Medley Fashion Style customs.
Spoiler
I know many people have already done custom G1 to G4 ponies, but I'm  digging the G1 to G4 concept.  There are so many G1 ponies I'd love to see in G4 style.  While she's not entirely an original inspiration so to speak, she's certainly one of my childhood favorites.

She's currently awaiting glitter to her symbol (along with a bit of touching up on it) and some pretty blue hair I just ordered from dollyhair.com.  Any guesses on who she is? LOL

You're right, she does make me think of a boy, it's definitely the colors.   :biggrin:  But the G4 is unmistakably a GIRL!  Nice work!

Thanks, for all these years I thought it was just me that saw Sunbeam as a guy.  I might make an unmistakably a boy version, too.  Lol.  Maybe "Big Brother Sunbeam'... :D

Thanks so much!  As you can see, I've decided to keep on making my customs. Really appreciate all the kind words from you and everyone else in my WYP post the other day.  :grouphug:

And I have always disliked the G4 FS pegasus wings. Saw a thread about this the other day on here, too.  Was nice to know I'm not alone. Also working on her other pegasus friend, Medley, with the same wing style.  I liked how the G1s wings never interfered with styling their hair or anything.  Love that the G4's head move, but those giant wings make head turning kinda limited. :(

I actually just finished up Andrea, and am working on Michonne's paint as we speak.  Hoping to  finish her up today or tomorrow, and move on to a few more projects I've got going on at the same time.  Two more fashion style rehairs that kinda got put on the backburner for a while what with work and real life and all... :)
