Custom Spotlight Needs You!
« on: June 16, 2013, 05:58:55 PM »
Customs Spotlight has been an awesome way to get to know fellow members. 

We are going to change things up a bit!  We want to know what techniques/materials/supplies you want to know about!  Once a month we will feature a new topic, some will include artist interviews and examples, some will include how to's.  Customizing is an adventure!  New materials and techniques help all artists to keep growing. 

What do you want to see?

Airbrushes? Sculpted wings?  Sealants?

It's up to you!

ETA: So far we have~~
Airbrushing gradients
Sculpting wings
Sculpting Horns
Sculpting Clothing
Baking Ponies (Clay curing)
Reposing
Planning a custom pony
Fantasy Film
Eye tutorials
Painting techniques
Hairblending
Rehairing

The hairstyling!  I keep seeing these beautiful, twisty and pinned hairstyles and I have NO idea how to even approach something like that. 
Thank you, brightberry, for my lovely avi.

Fantasy film
Hair styling
Wings (or any clean sculpting really)
Realistic sculpted clothing
Baking ponies without melting them (this is something I fear, which is why I'm still working with GreenStuff)

That's about it off the top of my head.

Another vote for airbrushed gradients! Especially details around the eyes, so tiny!

Ooh hairstyles are a good idea too...I fail at hair, so step by step would be great, and lots of pics...I never can understand how the pins go....

Fantasy film is something I'd like to learn about too.  Clothes sculpting, wing sculpting, horn sculpting, airbrush gradients, details on painting, eye tutorials, reposing, etc.    Lots of things I've seen small tutorials on but would love to hear more about.

Hair blending.  I can't get it to look as nice as the pre-blended.
