Title: Candy Rain ~ Monochrome Custom Swap
Post by: Griffin on September 26, 2020, 03:22:55 AM

I had so much fun working on this custom! I love how OTT she is XD My partner was gemini_pony whose colour choices included pink and theme choices included desserts/sweets and kawaii aesthetic.

The bait was a Reboot/Movie style Rarity; the pose was perfect for holding an umbrella. Gemini_pony loves wings so I gave her a pair of wings using Apoxie Sculpt. She was painted in acrylics and rehaired in three shades of pink nylon (Pussycat, Old Bubblegum, Sugarberry). She had to have candy cane curls obviously. ;)

The miniature candy and the umbrella handle were made with Fimo. The umbrella was definitely the most challenging part! I tried a couple of different Youtube tutorials, first using paper (my origami skills are apparently non-existent :P ), then resorting to craft foam since I couldn't find any suitable fabrics. When I finally managed to complete the umbrella, I realised it was quite top heavy and had to be attached to a base. However, I didn't want to glue it on the base permanently so I added a loop of satin ribbon to anchor it in place. I wish I'd been clever enough to use a magnet! Oh well.

I very much enjoyed facing some new challenges and learning some new techniques in the process of making this custom! I hope you like her~

She looks awesome!  The umbrella turned out well it looks like, so your efforts were worthwhile.  And her little wings are sooo cute  ^.^
