EDIT: Rehaired update
I had an idea maybe earlier this year or maybe last year that if I ever come across a Basic Fun Gusty, I’ll make a Reverse Gusty with golden leaves. Well, it wasn’t happening so I asked for Christmas for a BF Gusty and some hair to make it. My wishes were answered and here we are!
So I did have a look at some BF Gusty customs after my idea came and one did already exist. I must link the artist because that is such a beautiful custom.
I didn’t want to feel like a copycat but my idea was different anyway with the golden leaves and different eye colour. It turns out a golden leaf Gusty already exists too and it’s Argentinian Gusty, Otoño
Anyway, so I got my Gusty, did a quick comparison thread and it was on to the custom. It was tricky removing the hair but I did it and I also learnt how to use a rehair tool (thank you for the tip in the chatbox, @DracoKat !)
So, here she is! Rusty Goldleaf! The leaves are not made with gold leaf, just gold Posca
When removing the leaves, thankfully they left a nice stain to trace over so I could repaint my leaves. Some looked a bit funny but it’s fine, I used what I had
Here she is with Euro Gusty:
I tried to style her hair to match Gusty’s forelock but it went a bit funny. The tail too, and it’s a bit shorter than intended even when I tried to redo it twice and with a template but she’s fine
I am pretty pleased with this custom, it must be one of my favourites. I know I’d probably never be able to get a proper Reverse Gusty but I managed to make my dream one!
One final shot:
