Hey Ponies,
It's been a long time since I customized any ponies and I don't even remember some of the techniques I used, so please indulge me with your input.
1. What do you use to draw on symbols before you paint? I think I used pencil before, but I can't remember. I'm concerned if I screw it up using pencil over the paint, I'll have to repaint. Suggestions?
2. Smoothing out paint strokes. I can't remember how I did it. Adding water?
3. Anyone ever transplanted an adult pony mane to a baby pony? Thoughts on method? I'm thinking of knotting the hair near the root of the donor pony and then transferring. I'll probably rehair using an older method that I vaguely remember using a needle to pull each strand through from the inside out.
4. Sealing paint. What is your go to for sealing paint and keeping it from becoming sticky? Modge Podge? Something else?
What I'm up to is this, I have a Mimic that I've had for years, whose only flaw is a hair trim. I don't mind her the way she is, but because I love her so much, I think I'd like to see her with her full length of hair. This got me thinking that she needs a baby. I'm thinking of using her existing mane on the baby and then rehairing my adult with Dollyhair.
I invite any thoughts, comments or suggestions on anything here. Thanks,
Cactus
