Customs / Question about FBRs and age spots/cancer/regrind/etc.
« on: March 07, 2012, 05:41:05 PM »
Oh, hey, everyone!  Long time no been here.  IRL stuff: not so pleasant.  Ponies: much more happy-making, and I could use that.  Sheesh, whatta couple of months!

Soooo, I found a pose I really like for a planned custom with a full body repaint, and I found a pony in that pose, but it has some brown "cancer" spots and so on.  Now, I don't care, obviously, because I'll be doing a full repaint in beige and brown, but what I want to know is will it eventually affect the paint I put over it?  Does anyone know?

Sing to me your songs of covering up stuff with paint!

Customs / Need help choosing a red hair color for my new custom!

Rose Pony under construction 2 by Naamah Darling, on Flickr

That's her!  You can click to see more pics in my photostream.

She's had her eyes finished since I took this and everything's all sealed up and ready to go, I just need to find the right hair color.

I want to do red hair with a green stripe in it, and I have a couple of greens I love, but I have not found a red I like.  I've been ordering from Dollyhair.com.

Here is what I have tried, and all these colors are nylon:

Pomme d'Amour - this is a gorgeous tomato orange color, but not what I needed
Cherry Pie - almost freakin' perfect, but too bright and a teeny tiny itty bitty bit too orange; I need something darker and a tiny bit less orange-y
Volcano - I thought this would be perfect, but it's really a very saturated red-auburn and not really a red-red at all
Venom - too dark and way too purple

I need something that is, like, a few shades darker than Cherry Pie, which is SO close to being what I need.  I'd dye it but I'm not set up for that, and have never done it before, and would rather not go there.

I am looking at these colors in Dollyhair's saran hair section:

Pillarbox Red - may be my best choice, what do you all think? Can someone tell me how it compares to Cherry Pie?
Torch Auburn - can't tell how "auburn" it really is
Scarlet Auburn - again, don't know how "auburn" she means
Flame Auburn - almost certainly too orange, but still pretty

I am happy to order or create a blend, even, if anyone has recommendations.

Thanks!

Wanted! / WTB Big Brother Baits!
« on: January 22, 2012, 03:57:19 AM »
My first wanted post!  I hope I'm doing everything right!

I really don't want to ruin a perfectly good Big Brother, and eBay makes me kinda angry, so I'm looking to buy some Big Brothers, preferably Steamer or possibly Quarterback pose.  They will be used for customizing.

I'm planning a full body repaint on the boy I really want to work on next, so I can take ponies that are really stained or marked up.  I would also like to find a bait-condition Chief, though, since I'm planning a white-based Big Brother custom at some point, and white full body repaints are never quite as nice as a pony that started out white.

I would prefer ponies without chew marks or dents or whatnot, since I have limited sculpting skills at this point and am not confident I could repair that.  I do not care what condition the hair is in as it will be replaced fully.  I looove rerooting!

I can pay via Paypal and am only looking to buy outright as I have nothing at all decent to trade yet.
