Title: How to ombre g4 pony body? Also show me your non-matching hair customs!
Post by: vampyrefay on February 25, 2016, 04:43:28 PM

How would I go about ombreing a g4's plastic? I keep seeing customs that have very nice ombre colours but never how to do it! Also show me any ponies you customed with a different coloured tail and mane!

You are talking about a gradient correct? An airbrush or dye is typically what is used.

An airbrush will give you a nice uniform gradient, but a similar effect can be achieved by blending. Aikarin has a wonderful tutorial that I know from experience works:
