Her tail is thicker than I expected it to be because when I first put it in, it was too small for the tail hole so I used the rest of the leftover hair to thicken it up a bit to fill the hole but it’s still a good enough thickness for a G3. I also put some nail varnish over her eyes (but not the white) to give the slight shine a G3 has. I had Royal Ribbon out anyway for helping do the eyes so I took it from that.

I tried to fix the thin green hair plug with a bit of leftover green hair and it sort of worked. It’s a bit funny around the area though but still fine

I an really pleased with how she’s turned out. I have achieved what I wanted and that was to make a convincing G3 custom while also using up all the hair I had. All I have left is a few thin scraps of yellow and green that won’t complete any pony and still a lot of orange hair. Maybe I’ll find another and make a ginger pony? I don’t plan to make another custom right now again but I would like to use that orange up. She is my second custom and I am very happy with her

Like with Heart Break, she can have a G3 backcard story too

Birthday month: August
Favourite colour: Light orange
Favourite flower: Lilies, of course!
Favourite thing to do: Playing pranks and fooling my friends!​

As she is made from a fakie, I imagine that she likes to play pretend to trick other ponies a lot.
Here is an extra picture of Lucky Lily with some lilies that are growing in the garden. Unfortunately, the pink lilies that inspired her that were on the dining room table had wilted way before she was completeView attachment 41724

Wonderful work! The symbol looks great too!

Wow I LOVE her colors and I love that you make backcards for your customs! Posca pens are genius, I never even thought about using them for customs!

I usually use poscas on other repaint projects. I don’t like using normal paint so they’re perfect for me. Some time after doing my first custom, I came across this video
Jon Burgerman is also using Posca pens on a pony for the 2008 Pony Project!

Yep, my second custom :flutter2: The really convincing fakie body probably helped a lot with how she turned out though

Oh my goodness this is a really late correction. Where I said “Dolly Hair UK”, I actually meant *Retro Dolls UK. I only just realised because I did another custom since. I’m so sorry!
Dolly Hair is an actual doll hair supplier and I think they may have renamed to TheDollHairEmphorim. You probably may have found out already. I hope the mistake didn’t delay your customs being rehaired :sadpony:
