G2 customs

[Moonbreeze]

Hiya,

I've been semi getting back into customizing ponies. I have so many concepts I want to work out in the future.
My paints are still packed from the move, but I found my acrylic markers and decided to make Night Tide.
I've been ill and bored out of my mind, so why not
Her eyes are repainted with watercolour pencils and a tiny bit of gelpen. The symbol is done with the acrylic markers.

I also rehaired an old rehair of Silver Swirl. I had the colours the other way around first, but eventually I caved and wanted the Hematite colour to be more prominent.

And I also wanted to share a custom I did last year (?). Lily

Hopefully I can get my hands on some proper sculpting clay. I've been wanting to do a G2 Pegasus and Hippocampus for ages now
Anywho, hope you all like them

These are incredible!! I especially love how you painted the hooves to highlight that part of the sculpt. The yellow bangs on Night Tide are amazing too!!!

 

[Rebeldream]

WOW. Those are seriously stunning.

They’re so subtlety done that they could pass as genuine but at the same time they each have a wow factor that some G2 are missing. You did a fantastic job, I love them!!

 

[March Meadow]

These are gorgeous! Lily is my favorite.

Interesting use of materials! Gel pen and your acrylic markers - which are definitely better than mine.

That's because @Moonbreeze has better color sense then anyone that was working on G2s.

I love them so much!! Great detail and clean work!

 

[Uftaki]

Wow! So pretty! Very nice, clean work!

I had to work with what I could find haha. Def not using the acrylic markers next time since detailing was a nightmare.

And thank you all so much everyone

I have seen mention of doll customizers using water color pencils, pens, and pastels.

I usually stick to using 20/0 or 18/0 for fine details, so I can see what you mean about the much larger markers!

 

[Jenji]

Oh they are all stunning!!

 

[OkVortex]

These are great! I love Night Tide especially, her colors are gorgeous!

 

[Mirurnas]

Normally G2's aren't my cup of tea, but gosh these ladies are stunning! Very well done!

 

[Novalyna]

Your customs are really beautiful. I especially love your choice of hair colors to perfectly match each pony's vibe

 

[Moonhoof]

I'm also not into G2 in general, but these are stunning! I love Night Tide's symbol, is so well done and defined it looks like a factory print!! And Silver Swirl looks so beautiful, she's like a moon princess at a fantasy gala. How delightful!

I love Lily! Green + Red combos all the way

Your customs are amazing! So many details and so carefully done, and the choose of colors is also perfect! Did you use an airbrush to paint Lily's hooves?

True, I did some doll customizing too and decided to transfer the pencils and pastels to ponies Works pretty well. As longs as you seal with Mr. Superclear you can use (almost) every art medium you like

Aw, thanks! Her hooves are done with pastels and Mr. Superclear
