G3 to G1 swap....Anchors Away for DPP

I am so happy to know that DPP's AA made it to her safe and sound. I had a lot of fun making her. I was also ver nervous as this was the first custom I had made for someone else. My pictures kind of suck, so if DPP wants to post better ones, I won' t mind in the least.

So she started out as a very sad MM windy:


I thought that I was going to have a really hard time getting her symbol off, but it was surprisingly easy. Here is is all naked:


I would have never thought that painting a pony yellow would prove to be such a challenge. It took forever! She must have like 12 coats of yellow paint on her. Here she is at about coat 6:


I had to practice drawing her symbol about 50 times before I even attempted to paint it on. This was also the first custom I have ever done where I was going to do a fell eye repaint. I was so nervous about both. Here is the beginning of both:


Luckily it didn't turn out as badly as I was expecting it to. I hope to become better at painting eyes in the future, but here she is all done right before her hair:


I tired to add tinsel to the hair at first, but I kept crinkling it. So after about 3 attempts, I decided to scrap it, and just use only hair. Here she is completed. I was so proud of her.




Thank you DPP for including Anchors Away on your list. I really enjoyed making her. I had a hard time mailing her out. I didn't want her to leave! lol. I hope she likes her new home. Ok that's it.

Oh Josie she's beautiful!!!! Such a great job you've done on her. Excellent symbol and eye work too. Eh who likes that tinsel anyway? LOL

DPP Enjoy that custom while you can before I come to your house and steal her!

Wow, you are an awesome customizer too. There are so many talented people here. Great job and I too love that pose. MM Windy is a great bait pony to use. I always see them with damaged symbols. I'm PMing you.
