EDIT: She's for sale! Gila Monster Pony for sale on ebay


My second custom ever is finished! May I just say that rehairing a mane with actual hair as opposed to yarn, as with my first pony (http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w106/LizardbethLulu/mlp-ooak1.jpg) is a PAIN IN THE BUTT! Even with a rehairing tool, it took me an hour and a half or more (I guessed) to do the whole head. Anyone got advice on how to make that process go a little faster?

Anyway, here's my Gila Monster Pony.

She was painted with Warhammer model paints, textured with Gloss Touch 3D paint, and sealed with matte finish mod podge. She's got a hemp necklace with femo flower beads and a wrap around her tail.

She WILL be for sale through eBay. I'll put a thread in the "Want to Sell" forum with a link to that when she's available.

Also, a sneak-peak at my "persona" pony who mostly just needs her mane rehaired (UGH!!) and a couple other random details made.

I don't know how I painted that small on her hip, but somehow it magically turned out not so horrible. Go me. :D

Projects to come: Blueberry pie pony, Coffee pony, and Octopus mer-pony. I'm excited!!

The bumps on the gila monster pony are so cool!
 
Oh wow! Those bumps look like they took forever! But the finished effect is quite awesome! So modge podge worked good as a sealer for you? -laughs- Rehairing is slow for me too, it's why I usually do it while I'm watching or listening to something (such as my college professors x3)

And your persona pony is looking WONDERFUL! I can't wait to see her done!
 
That gila monster is freaking awesome! 1.5 hours for rehairing is actually a decent time. You'll probably get faster as you get more practice, but that's not bad at all. Back in the day of using the wire method, it would sometimes take me six hours. *shudders* As soon as I saw LDD's rehair tool, I snatched it up, because when rehairing takes that long, it's a nightmare.

6 hours?!? I can't even imagine that o_O I think I'd go absolutely insane!
