My first completed custom!

My very first completed custom! Her name is Galaxy. She's based on some nasa photos I saw. The G1 pony I used for a base came to me completely hairless, with her symbol removed and covered in sharpie and crayon.
She's rehaired with Dollyhair, the Starlight color.

Criticize me please! I want to get better. I can take it, I promise  :biggrin:

She is lovely for a first try.  The only thing I would say is your white is too white I see you did some stars that are greyer, but your white is a bit too bright and makes her look more spotty then stary.  Also I think what is making her look that way is how round your "stars" are.  If you made them to have a few different shapes they would look less like an Appaloosa pattern gone array and more like the star field you are going for.  I do think your body paint work is super and love the hair color choices.

Thank you! I'll have to work on the stars a bit, that's super good advice.

I love her hair!  Very thick and well done!  I also adore her subtle nebulae, there are so many nice colors there.  I can't wait to see what you create next!

You are welcome.  You did a very nice job on her and I think with those few minor changes, man she will rock.  Hard to believe it is your first go.

DIamond said it all, critique-wise, I think :) I'm one that likes *very* full manes, so perhaps that, maybe super super light pink, blue and lavender blended in with the starlight (moonlight?) to pick up the nebulae colours? I think the hair colour helps the stars look "too white" a bit.

She really does look great, though, especially for a first! well done! it's a wonderful design; I love space ^____^

Wow, she's a great first custom, I can't wait to see what your next ones look like! I love the subtle colors on her they look great! What kind of paint (brand) did you use for those? Are they metallic? I like them a lot! Great work!
