Description Finally finished my custom pony version of Midnight Sky!
In the comic her symbols do not glow in the dark, it was a thing that just felt like the right thing to do for a toy

She can't stand properly.
Hair from dollyhair.com. Glow in the dark paint form panduro. Body paint with acrylics, ultramarine blue (or similar name).

Ohhhhhhh...!! She looks nice! 8D I love how she's all glowy in the dark too. You're making me want to attack the few bait-y ponies I bought from the flea market not too long ago and finally get around to making some proper customs. My only problem seems to be that I don't know what ponies of mine to customize from them. XD

Thank you very much!

Haha, ah, getting started is always what takes the most time XD
Also not easy if not settled on who/what/which one to do of course XD

I know for a fact that I'll make Mystery Storm out of one of them, but I don't want to make him as my first one due to some troublesome parts (like twinkle-eyes and big wings and furry hooves). Not to mention that the bait I have for him is one of those with the stupid mechanism inside them that rolls the tail inside the body when you turn the head. <.<

I have a pony bride though, and I'm kind of torn between two characters for that. The pose would fit both of them perfectly. x_x I also got a G2 baby pony that I was going to make into a winger as soon as I get the head off... Darn thing is tight. D:

But, as for the first customs... I found some fakies that look almost like the G3 ponies. Not quite, but they're nowhere near as awful as fakies usually are. :3 Perfect for customization practice before I tackle the better projects of mine!

I think that's a good plan, to do something that sounds way easier then you described as a first

Oh, the G2 babies have such thin necks, bet that isn't easy to get of!

That's good start up baits, I think. Also think I've seen a few G3 fakies that looked quite ok. That is, they still looked cheap but at least they looked cute
I still get a little upset when I see fakies with copied G1 bodies and then with totally ruined heads D:
It's wise to try a couple of times to get the hang of it

Oh yes, the copied G1 body + ruined head = something horrible... <_<

I think I might have to cut the baby's back open to get the head out. Not something I'd fancy doing, but currently I don't know what else to do. :/ I've tried just about everything else already. ><

XD indeed

I've never used a G2 baby as a bait so sadly I have no "words of wisdom" to share

Kirsui In reply to Solkatt [2012-11-25 21:17:28 +0000 UTC]

It's ok. Seeing as how I need to give her wings anyway, I'll figure something out so that I can integrate the wing holes with the cut (if I need to cut her open, that is).

Isn't it hard to re-hair a pony? To me it seems nearly impossible....

I had a little tiny yellow babypony with a giraffe as her cutiemark that i want to do something with.....I do not know what exactly, but i want to try some rehairing atleast...

It is in the beginning, now after a lot of customs I can re-root a pony of this size within 1-2 hours if I take it slow

Oh, you have newborn Bouncy, it sounds like
There are some different ways to re-root, I have come to like the "needle-tool" version the most because it's the quickest (at least for me)
