Title: My little Raven ponies
Post by: Prideth on October 21, 2014, 07:05:59 AM
This little pony family was part of a private Halloween swap with aintnobuffalo. She allowed me the creative freedom to pick a theme for the ponies and I was inspired by the dark beauty of the raven to create these three little ones. These are the first G4 customs I've made and I learned quite a bit from working on them; I'm so thankful to aintnobufflo for allowing me to broaden my horizons and for trusting me enough to not make these a total flop!
Createx airbrush colors have a serious habit of staying a little "tacky" pre-sealing. The opaque colors have a bit of a gloss to them. The base color seems to rub easily before sealing, so I won't be doing Createx for base coats in the future.
G4 ponies are TINY! Cutie marks need a much finer hand as compared to G1/G3 ponies. A fine tipped liner brush worked great.
G4 neck plugs suck.
Contructive feedback is most appreciated and encouraged!

I love them, great job! I agree about createx airbrush paints and G4 neck plugs, and the non-princess ponies being tiny, the G1/G3 babies are bigger then them.

I love the sculpted form of the feathers for all three versions. I also love the colors as well! Great work!

wow, gorgeous!! I love how you've sculpted the wings...
AND they're posable!
You really did such an amazing job with these! I wish I could let everyone on the forum see them in person, because the photos don't do them full justice. My roommates were amazed, and they couldn't believe you're a beginner here. I'm just glad you really enjoyed yours, because I was blow away!
Here's some pics of the amazing box! She did great with extras too!

Wow! Awesome work! I love the detail of molded feathering around their eyes - suggestive of a masquerade mask, kinda. :)
Gorgeous eye painting, too! Also, on a technical level, I am very impressed that you made such little figures have SO MUCH hair - especially with how teeny the G4 plugs are! :cool:

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone. :drunk: I'm just so pleased that aintnobuffalo was happy with them!
As for comments on the hair... :lol: I can't help it. I just love boat loads of hair and enormous manes. The hair is my favorite part of the ponies!
