Hi all! Found this girl for 35 cents in HORRIBLE condition- extremely dirty, hair was ratted and missing plugs, ink stain on her shoulder. So I rerooted her in Moulin Rouge Saran from Retro Dolls US, cleaned her up, gave her a new handmade dress and turned the ink stain into a tattoo. She's for sale on ebay. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Saja: For this final round, I decided to stick with pushing my boundaries and trying something ive not done, so Saphire was created, she is a Mammoth, and she is a star. She is all glammed up to go out, she has false eyelashes, her tiara and some star bangles on her tusks and tail. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this competition, I have learnt alot, and improved some skills, and Im rapt to be in the final 3. Competing against 2 of my very favourite artists is such an honour. Thankyou for having this competition. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAmbar_JulAudrey my Fair Pony,. what could be more glamorous than the old hollywood divas??? so here we have Audrey Hepburn in her ascot dress , a reposed and rehaired star catcher with a sculpted dress and removable hat. This girl took a lot of work, especially on the detail of the dress. i hope you like her Is not much what i can say about my customs, this girl is one of my favorites and she should win because is pretty, but also my competitors ones. This has been a long road for the three of us, and every one grew to discover new facets of work and dare to challenge, so we are already winners . Please vote for your favorite custom, the one that should be the top customizer. And if you vote for me, i will love you eternally lol thanks for the support visitors can't see pics , please register or login Gotbunny: Painted lady a dance hall girl spends her nights brighten the evenings of the many lonely men of the western towns with her shiny personality, bubbley laugh, singing and high step. But let her pretty looks fool you, she has a bite like a rattler if you cross her. I wanted to do something different and so I picked a Saloon girl from the old west. They were know as the painted ladies for they were girls that wore flashy outfits, dyed hair and lots of bling. This girl has a lot of detail and I could not get enough photos. Cameras just don;t catch the glitter, gems and perilzed paint. Corseted in a black corset that has pink ruffles with white flowers accented in pink gemstones. Her corset goes into a butterfly train that has little bees with glitter/ rhinestones and pearlized paint edging the hem. 2 strings of beads and pink ruffles with gems transistion the corset to train. Her black panties and lace pattered stockings are hand painted, sorry no closeup. The shoes are sculpted out of apoxie sculpt accented with a white flower. She has handmade beaded earrings, chocker, bracelet and a biutterfly in her hair. Her hair is a streaked pattern of DH goldylocks, and RDUS Lucretia with RDUS tinsel, put up in a twisted bun to pony tail on her head, her tail is twisted up into a bun held in place with pink rhinestones. As to why I should be picked, I rather not boast of my accomplishments nor down trod others. I would rather take this time to thank those who have taken the time to put this fun contest on as it has pushed me to try new things and strength my skills. To those who have commented, supported and bought my customs, I would not be here if it was not for you! And last to my mother who has encouraged me from a young age to keep trying and supported me on many adventures. Again Thank you all, it has been a fun ride. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Unfortunately Assassin_Kitty was unable to continue with the competition, which leaves 4 left. I will leave it up to the last four, if this is the last vote to determine the winner, or if we will have one last round. "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a...poneh??" The ponies loved their new outfits, but they're still growing a longer coat for winter- help them!! This assignment requires you to give the ponies extra hair- your options- flocking, sculpted hair/hooves, rooting hair/fur. Please include a short paragraph telling us what you did and how. Have a flocking good time!! Saja- DONETsukikashi- DONEAmbar_Jul DONEAssassin_KittyGotbunny - DONESaja: Pink Flare is a very hairy Kirin. I decided to try something Ive not done before, so she is rooted with Suri alpaca fleece. That is tip dyed light pink, and she has sculpted horns and hair! I figured whilst on the subject of trying something new, Id try a pink custom, Im not usually a fan, but I think Pink Flare turned out well, and she is definately very warm with all her hair! Cheers Saja visitors can't see pics , please register or loginTsukikakushi: The ultimate in fuzzy ponies! Bashkir curlies are know for their thick, curly winter coats. So I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. Because of my total lack of sculpting skills (plus sculpting the hair textures would have taken me weeks if I used apoxie), I looked around online @ custom Breyer models for inspiration. Textures were made with modeling paste & a toothpic. The stuff is actually really flexible, so I had to take a little extra care when rehairing. I could have made the texture a little more defined, but I think they still looks pretty neat. Painted in acrylics, & rehaired in DollyHair curly nylon Apricot Mousse??? (it was an unlabled bargain bag). All in all pretty happy with the effect. I might have to make some curly Hasbro ponies now. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginGotBunny: Silent Majesty soars in the heavens over her beloved mountains as a silent protector of night. A Tribute to the Great Eagle Owl, majestic and beautiful. I have had something of this in mind for a while, but finally figured I had the skill to pull it off. My first major attempt at sculpted hair and second on feathered wings. She started out as glitterglide, on of those annoying turn in the middle light up dancing ponies She had her skates removed and her innards of wires removed. I reenforced her middle but left her had turn-able still. Wings are wire mesh with each feather made out of apoxie sculpt. Her hoofs, horn, and part of her hair are also sculpted. I was going to airbrush gradients however, my airbrush broke so she was dry brushed with 3 different colors to give the affect of fur instead. Rehaired with Expresso, gingerbread and tunimsu. She is removable from her base and stands freely with out it. Her base is flocked with white glitter flocking. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAmbar_Jul: let me introduce to Devon a baby griffon, she likes to play with worms and eat fish. Recently she is shedding her baby plush to become an adult i give her sculpted hooves, with little paws. then rehaired with mohair and also add some of it around the neck to simulate a mane and in the back of her legs and tail, she hasn´t cold now visitors can't see pics , please register or login
