Specializing in Making G1 Customs Not Look Custom?
« on: February 15, 2012, 06:21:58 PM »
I've always admired customs that look like "real" ponies, in the sense that they look like the just came out of the factory and they seem like they could have been part of the Hasbro line. No paint brush marks, perfectly identical symbols and flawless eyes. I think the reason I like them so much is because I could never make a custom that awesome :P Anyone have custom like this they're particularly proud of or happy with?

I am oddly proud of this Reverse Mommy Squirmy I made even though her symbol is a little big and too high.   :blush: She was my first FBR and took a long time to do.

wow! she's awesome!  this is the kind of custom i aspire to make one day!  I usually do full body repaints, so i dont think they look that factory even WHEN i get the symbols and eyes good!

Thanks guys! I did repaint her eyes but followed the existing eyes so that they would look more like Hasbro eyes.

Eek! They're precious :) Do you do commissions? I don't have any G4 ponies yet, but seeing your TAF customs makes me want them now.

I have done a ton of rehairs (in different colors) and updated (re-colored) eyes/symbols, but I have only done one totally from scratch Hasbro repro.
