The hardest part of a de-flock for you
« on: May 18, 2013, 04:56:38 PM »
So I'm back to de-flocking some ponies and dead set on finishing them... two or 3 of them are nearly done except for some parts of the the bodies xD

For anyone who has de-flocked ponies fully, what has been the hardest part for you? Whether it be for just a general custom de-flock or to restore them :)

Mods if this is in the wrong place please move :)

There's not an option for all of it? XD I am semi close to finishing Shady, but I just can't get all the glue off! The hardest part is definitely around the painted areas. Don't want to take the symbols and eyes off!

You didn't mention wings in your list. The wings are impossible. I gave up.

There should be an option for "finding the motivation to start and complete such an annoying task" lol.  I LOVE the look of the deflocked ponies but its so fustrating to me that I just buy them instead of doing it myself.

Can't vote.  I :heart: deflocking!  (Yeah, I know; I'm weird.  Yay, me! :P)

The only thing that I find difficult:  those last little teensy flecks of flocking (like, a stray strand or two here and there) that seem to cling no matter what. -_-  Eventually I get 'em, but they are the only things that bug me.

Sugar, you're great at deflocking!  If I remember correctly I bought a deflocked Cupcake from you and I still love her.  I was looking at her just yesterday wishing I had more deflocks.

Wings make it all take longer...so I voted for that. Every time I say that the next pony I de-flock will not have wings, that has not happened yet. Grr.

Lol himmie, I know what you mean. Right now I'm lucky.. the pony I'm doing is a fakie and doesn't have painted areas... the eyes are actually painted flock so those had to come off XD

How about the option for "completely regretting the entire thing afterwards"? :P

I picked "the task itself." I've been working on a herd of deflocks for a couple of years now and I'm still not finished, because it's so tedious and the chance to screw up is so great. I thought about working on one tomorrow, we'll see.

Wings.

Wings wings wings.

I deflocked a Twilight and the wings were the last things to finish. Although going around the eyes was freaking me out. I really didn't want to ruin her!

For me it's the crevices in the pegasus wings. Nothing else is too bad. I LOVE unicorns and earth ponies, but darn those wings! The mouth and corners of the mouth can be a bit annoying for me too. :)
