Angie Cakes custom

... no eye lashes? ;D

I decided after my first drawing of Angie that she doesn't have eyelashes. partially because I like her better without them, but mostly because I'm a lazy bum o)3)

In that case, you look like a boy.

A lazy boy. ;D

that's the look I was going for XD that hard-to-determine-gender look

Angie is a boy now, until proven otherwise. :I

Aww she turned out super cute. I can't wait to see what you make next.

That second picture I couldn't help but think of Pinkie Pie's "A sleepy pirate with a really weird mane cut," line. Maybe its the lighting that was making her look tired, I dunno, but its still really nice. Brought a smile to my face anyway, thats gotta count for something right?

Wonderful! Is the whole thing painted? or just the cutie mark?

ah, just the eyes and the cutie mark. I made it a point to buy two white ponies (rarity's body and blossomforth's head) so that I could take the lazy way out. she also only has one cutie mark... ">_>

Can you just pull the hair out of a head and glue more in the holes? Or is it more complicated than that?

well, that's basically what you do, but it's not that easy XD

you have to take the head off, get it warm and pull all the hair out through the tiny neck hole. that in itself took me a few hours.

after that, you have to get the hair back in, one hole at a time. iirc, there's about 50-60 holes, and you have to pull a lock of hair about 1-2 mm thick up through the neck using either a needle and thread or a piece of wire folded in half. you don't have to glue the hair, just tie a big knot at the end. this part took me several days.

As an addition to what Angie said here is a tutorial that shows what goes on step by step. http://customanon.de...831424#/d39ian3 This explains it all

Also really jelly Angie!(Although you were lazy [shame shame]) I want to do a custom of my ponies one day.

Wow. Now you've made me feel the need to finally go buy ponies. Only because I want to make a custom.

Cute, I'm crawling the walls trying to get my Scootaloo figure's mane like yours... X-(

P.S. , How I get forum smilies in the gallery?

I have that same coca cola can glass

Cute!

ah, the short mane styles require lots of gel to get them to work XD they're really a pain. I had to gel her mane and let it dry three times before it finally stayed down. don't wash it out, gel on top of what you have.

and if you want a forum smiley in the gallery, just type out the symbols for it

Did you cut it before or after gelling it?

mm, I sort of did it at the same time .-.

first I got it wet and styled it the way I usually do (wrap it up against her head with rubber bands and let it dry) just so I could get it to stay down. I cut some off while it was drying. then I gelled and wrapped her up in rubber bands again, let it dry. after that I just cut and added gel where and when I saw fit.

I love it, Angie.

Nice job!

How do you get a custom pony!? I want one NOW!!

Just.... just shut up and take my money!
