some custom experiments and misshaps

this was a fakie bady; i thought if i made the eyes look like real MLP eyes it's look good, right? so i put sculpy on its face, made a press mold off of a real MLP for each eye and well...




it was a good idea, but idk if it worked out so well. what do you think?

then this one! i went to dye an RD a darker blue to do a G3 adult Ember, right. well here's the result:




she came out tyedyed. weird. it might've been the acetone...idk...i thinkl i'm going to try to redye her seeing as i have no idea what to do with this marbelized look. you guys any ideas?

Kat

Awww I think the baby's cute! I think your eye idea worked well ^.^

As for Miss Marbled RD - I bet it was acetone too. I dun have any ideas, but it does look kinda cool. Maybe a dragon pony would work with that. I dunno :/

I like them though personally ^.^

For RD, you may have to keep dipping her over and over agian until it starts to layer. Try that other rit dye stuff that removes dye and stuff first to start over. It's worth the experimentation right? She's already really bait, so what can it hurt?

I had a mishap with my little japanese school girl custom I did around 2 years ago. I'm having to repaint her and try to fix her so she looks better than before.

The fakie looks good, she could probably just use some sanding =)

As far as RD, what about an underwater custom? That's what I think of when I see her coloring (but maybe it looks different in real life?)

I tried dying a pony and had the same marble problem, but at least on yours it looks good! Mine looked like crap!
