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

[josiekat]

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.

Great job, josiekat! She's adorable, and I'm sure DPP loves her.

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!

[advokitsgirl]

Aww, she's adorable!! You did a great job

 

[Mirakat]

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.

Nice. Very nice. Pretty girl, looks great! *loves*

 

[SoSoftClaire]

WOW.


Josiekat, I had no idea you were that talented at making customs. I am in AWE of the perfected symbol, and the eyes are just ... I'm so jealous of DPP owning that, and even more of your ability to make perfect-looking customs.

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

Hahaha, you and your ability to steal from the computer screen. You're like that burglar on the commercial, reaching through the screen, groping at people's keyboards for any yellow ponies that might be lying around!
