thank you for you help :) I think without pestering everyone on the forums, I'm probably best just trying to dye my pony and then I guess if it doesn't take I'll just paint her. You're totally right about the messiness of the scuplting: don't know how common sense didn't point that out to me in the first place! :zzz:

So I have been trolling and totally seen everypony talking about Rit dying ponies. Now I Googled rit dye and seems it's a brand. I have some really lush-looking Dylon indigo fabric dye at home, a different brand, and was wondering if anyone knew how I should use it (or not) on a pony? I'm dying a white G1 purple (obviously purple sheesh I'm a ditz) and need advices! It's the powder stuff you mix with salt?  (Edit: I have read the rit dye guide, just wondering if it works with other brands!)


I also bought a cheapy-cheap airbrushing thingy last night to see if I like it/can actually do it. Once I dye a pony (assuming it's even possible with the stuff I have) can I then airbrush in gradients?


Thirdly (omgosh does she ever stop asking things?!) can I scuplt on top of a paint job (Milliput) or should I always sculpt first? Totally started off scuplting first and then painted, and now I;m thinking I might want to add more and don't wanna have to sand off 7 layers of paint!


Thanks in advance for your pony knowledge goodness <3  :what:

Omg, I am totally doing the same thing with a bunny hop at the moment! Can't wait to see what you do with yours, as I'm reasonably certain as this is my first ever batch of customs, and as I started 5 at once, you'll be done first  :P

Thank you for the replies! You totally inspired me for one pony, I've just spent couple of hours scuplting on her and I'm very excited! - Not quite what you suggested but in my tiny brain it made sense!


My second is still a blank canvas atm. If I had a ponysona I'd be very tempted to make her. Perhaps I'll just yoink someone's from the forums and suprise them with a custom of themselves! ^___^  :whoa:

Customs / Free custom (but do you want it?)
« on: February 03, 2012, 07:48:47 AM »
Hi everypony!


I'm making my first ever customs right now. Problem is I'm so full of ideas I don't know where to start! So I thought I'd throw this out to the community.


I want someone to request a custom. The offer is for one customised pony. Bear in mind this is my first ever, so whilst I have some remotely small artistic skills, it's gonna be (in all likeliness) pretty awful! That in mind, does anyone want to suggest something they desire? I'd quite like to involve some scuplting, so 3d cutie marks, smaller wings, lusty eyelids, maybe even small items of clothing are all possibilities. I'm happy to chat about what you fancy, just make it pretty!  :art:


I've bought a few hanks of hair in different colours, and can't afford more atm, so bearing this in mind I might not be able to meet your dream custom exactly. I have :Nylon Sour Grapes, Envy, Sugarberry, Pussycat, Blizzard and Butterfly and Saran Sapphire and Torch Auban.


The body will be a G3 earth pony, undecided which pose.


Whole pony will be FoC, including postage, if I think it's worthy of being sent out! :yikes:


Background info on me: I'm 29, from NW England, mother of one, long-term pony lover, artistic tendencies since I was old enough to hold a mark-making object, I dabble in all crafts from crochet to painting to sculpture and beyond. I have a crazy imagination and love fantasy artwork.


I am also a big World of Warcraft player, though only casual these days.


I would prefer to make an original character rather than a re-make of someone else's idea, but I'll take what I can get.


Please don't be offended if I don't think my skills are up to a request anypony might make. I'm adventurous, but I don't want to disappoint!




ready?  :shocked:




......................................GO!  :frolic:

Thank you everypony for the replies. I'm off to put some dismembered heads into some hot water!


Good to know I'm not the only UK'er who has found Milliput easier to get hold of.  :good:

Thank you very much for the prompt reply!  :blush:  And yes, I'll be painting with acrylics and possibly some old warhammer paints I have stashed away.

Customs / Custom newbie Q's
« on: February 02, 2012, 08:53:56 AM »
Harro everypony!


Just a newbie here starting my first customs. A couple of simple questions I haven't been able to find answers for (probably because I'm useless at looking...)


Firstly: How on earth do I get the last few plugs out of a g3 Head? The ones at the base of the neck. I can just about rip them from the outside but with my forceps I simply can't get in close enough... do I need to chop off the neck ring?


Second Q - how do you re-hair a tail? With the G3's do I re-use the plastic bits I took out, or is it best to just glue it in? And with G1's? (Had a baity tootsie with tail rust which got removed...)


Thirdly, does anyone use Milliput for sculpting? I have used it on other makes and was wondering if anyone uses it on pony customs? Everyone seems to use apoxie, and I was wondering if I am doing the wrong thing with Milliput.


Lastly, do I need to seal my paint (acrylic), and if so can I use Scupley glaze?


Thanks for your time!
