Title: New customs - Sundance and Gingerbread
Post by: moevelvet on August 31, 2015, 10:16:55 AM

These girls have been waiting for a long time.  You might remember them from this thread (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,371919.0.html).

First up is Sundance.

This is the only picture I took of her 'before.'  She had frizzy, frizzy hair - heat damaged beyond repair.  I tried to defriz it, but I just gave up and took it out.

She sat around bald for a while while I decided what to do with her.  I don't have any extra pony hair lying around, so I had to find a substitute.

I found this tutorial (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,357506.0.html) and decided to try it.  I made my own rehairing tool and used some pink yarn I had.

The mane took the longest, almost three hours.  Once it was done, the tail was easy.

And then I brushed her hair. I brushed her hair for five hours.
Here's what she looked like at the end:

And now for Gingerbread.  Gingerbread was a pretty intensive custom for me.

As a reminder, here are her before pictures:

Just looking at her made me sad.  She was rock hard and had highlighter marks, browning and sharpie over her cutie mark.
I had no idea what to do.  Eventually I decided on a full body repaint.  And it just snowballed from there.

I fully repainted her body, added details in blue and purple, bedazzled her with Swarovski crystals, and restyled her hair.

That is the Gingerbread-iest Gingerbread I've ever seen :D You've done a really good job on her! Sundance looks cute too^^ She reminds me of a Perfume Puff Pony.
