For Christmas I got three HQG1C blanks, one being a surprise one which was this glittery boy!
Here is the design for him, the base is from The Big Ol’ Custom Blank Base Collection by @Twinkle-eye
I may add white in his mane. My idea came from when I dusted some hooves on a G4 pony custom for my best friend and I wanted to put it on my next custom too because I liked how it turned out. Also, I sort of wanted to go my sort of style when colouring drawings instead. The mane and tail colour choice is so I can put some spare pony hair to use, the one I got when restoring a Baby Bouncy in particular.
His name comes from when I saw some snowy animals in the tundra on TV and then mainly from the Tundra Rap in The Mighty Boosh that I saw recently, it kept coming in my head.
Now on to the actual pony!
Since he is WIP, this is how he is at the moment:
The methods of adding the blue were kind of experimental. The chalk dusting I used last time wasn’t really showing up on him, I think because of his colour. The last pony was white so I guess that’s why. I then tried to make the chalk a bit wet as putting it on and ended up looking really horrible so wiped it and tried staining with my posca pens instead (what I usually use and used on the hooves) and it worked pretty well!
I put the paint on and the wiped it off. I have accidentally stained a little bit of custom ponies before but only tiny bits and accidental so I had a theory that this’ll work and it did. I then also put my paint on the wipes and rubbed it and it worked too. It took some time though. Then I just rubbed the ears and nose too
His hooves are very blue. The posca colour is ‘blue sky’ from the pastels pack. I am not totally satisfied with painting around his feathering because it wasn’t as neat as I liked and kept having to redo bits.
When I went to see the plan for this for this thread, I was pretty surprised how much of a match he ended up being so far!
EDIT: Complete! Go straight to the post! Updates are between.
