Lots of new G1 -> G4, plus a couple OC's

[Alipes]

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is doing well!  I just finished a diorama for a bunch of G4's of an outdoor concert and sat down to take pictures of it (thread coming to the Arts and Crafts Corral shortly!) when I realized I had a bunch of customs that I hadn't shown off!  Some of these have had previews in other threads, but some of these guys are totally new as well.  Hope you enjoy!

G1 -> G4 articulated Tickle, one of my first articulated custom experiments -- her hair is decorated with paper roses that I painted the edges gold on:

G1 -> G4 Sugarberry -- those strawberries took a while!  They're all drawn with watercolor pencils, which is the same way I've been doing the eyes lately:

G1 -> G4 Caramel Crunch, who runs the popcorn stand at the concert:

And G1 -> G4 Sugar Sweet, who runs the veggie dog stand:

G1 -> G4 Moondancer, who was actually completed before she showed up in the cartoon, but I was unhappy with her eyes so I wiped them and redrew them:

This is an OC named Lynette, who in my brain runs the hair salon with G1 Ribbon -- she started out as an experiment to dye the joints of articulated ponies and just grew from there:

And of course in that case I need G1 -> G4 Ribbon also  :

Another OC named Wild Rose -- I bought a prepped bait from Barbed Dragon ages and ages ago that had a gorgeous brown and light blue gradient.  She was pretty much finished for about a year, at least, but I finally got some paper flowers recently that I thought would be fantastic for her:

G1 -> G4 articulated Wind Whistler, who has made an appearance in a couple of other threads:

And here wearing a custom dress, which I posted a tutorial for in the Arts and Crafts Corral as well.  My plan at the moment is to make a North Star custom with a similar dress, then they can go chill at my big castle diorama together being all fancy:

And one of my favorites, G1 -> G4 articulated Blueberry Baskets.  She started as one of those "action" Rainbow Dashes, but the mouth was too perfect, so instead she gets to carry around a custom basket of blueberries!

Whew!  That was a lot of pictures!  Thanks for taking a look, and hopefully you enjoyed them!

Some really cute customs there! Great job!

These are all wonderful! I like that you do articulated customs, I'm too nervous about accidentally ruining them.

Watercolor pencils are an interesting choice for the eyes, I like the softness they give off. I might have to try that!

[pinkkittywinks]

These are super sweet

Love pkw xxx

Oh wow, I love them all! G1 - G4's are my favorite. I especially love Sugarberry! I had an awful time painting the strawberries on mine and yours turned out perfect. I'm going to have to give my watercolor pencils a try next time.

[Uninu]

Wow, talk about cute overload! They are all really sweet and super cute! The watercolor pencils seem to work really well on ponies.

[kaoskat]

They are all adorable! Great job!

[Baby Crumpet]

These are all so great! The way you do eyes is incredible, as is the detail.

[Diamond]

Some very nicely done customs, I like that OC of yours you where playing around with dying the joints.  Neat effect.

Great work!

[Roogna]

love how you do the eyes, and that blueberry baskets is too cute! great job on all but especially those articulated!

[PJSparkles]

I love seeing all your customs in one thread! I've considered doing G4s of older ponies before, but this has further inspired me

Question for you-  were the articulated ponies any particular challenge to re-root?

Question for you-  were the articulated ponies any particular challenge to re-root?

Haha, I just saw your post in the articulated thread and gave a response there!    Short version is that the heads are the same as regular G4 heads, but the tails require dismantling to replace.

The watercolour pencils give the eyes such a gorgeous softness, you've done a spectacular job, they make me want a herd of your customs just for the eyes!
