Hello!
Today I want to show you a custom of my OC Septima Windsong which I made about two years ago. At first I wanted to order her from one of local custom makers, but then decided to do it on my own. I tried making customs when I was little, so technically it's not my first one, but certainly the first one that turned out exactly how I imagined!
And I also didn't forget to take WIP photos
All the pictures are under spoilers.
The result:

And I also didn't forget to take WIP photos
All the pictures are under spoilers.I started from choosing an appropriate base. Even though I'm not a fan of Pony Life series, Magical Mane Rarity turned out the best option: I didn't have to repaint her body and eyes, and her style and pose was matching my Septima's character.
It turned out her mane and tail are connected since her hair can "grow up". I couln't entirely remove the stopper that was attached to her hair without breaking the pony, so I had to glue it somewhere inside. After removing the hair I painted her new cuitemark, mouth (because white tongue looked a bit odd
), hooves and body markings with acrylic paints and then varnished them.
Then I sculpted her new tail with an airdry clay, because I wanted it to be short but puffy, so I decided to give it a base.
After her tail dried, it was time to rehair it - I bought some dollhair on a tape for my pony. The tail looked really funny before haircut and styling
I used two shades of teal and dark brown both for mane and tail.
When the tail was ready, I started working on Septima's mane. It took me several days to attach it, and I also worked with no rush.
And now the most interesting part - haircut and styling! I'm not a hairdresser, so it was really hard to give Septima a correct mane and tail shape Luckily this type of dollhair can be styled with heat.
Everything went smooth until somewhere at this point she fell from a speaker on my table
Her tail unglued a little bit, but I could fix it and luckily that was all!
After styling was finished, I decided to give her some acsessories. I got some leather, small buckles and hairclips from a doll miniature shop and made her bracelets and a choker. I also made her a clef pendant from wire, you can see it on a photoshoot pictures!
And now it's time for a photoshoot!
