WIP G4 Merpony

[Leave a Whisper]

I also have a pony custom in the works.

I'm tentatively calling him King Whirlpool for now, but I'm seeing what other names might suit him. His base is Flip n Flow Twilight Sparkle.

 

[Skybreeze]

Ooooooooooooo I can’t wait to see this finished.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Got both sides of most of his head done. As well as his small fin.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Doing the other side of his legs and other big and small fin.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

More black added to the big fin and legs. That'll take several coats for it to fill in fully. Started adding neon yellow to one eye.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Should I keep the pink stripes or the purple stripes? Hmm, I can't decide. The purple will go nicely with the purple liquid in his body, but the pink will stand out more amongst the black and neon yellow.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Got his head completely covered and started putting neon yellow on his second eye. The iris and pupil don't want to be covered up.

Keep the purple stripes!

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Put some black on the tail stripes. The white is there so that I can put neon yellow on it later.

 

[Tak]

I love the color scheme with the purple, black, and yellow!

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Added neon yellow stripes.

Still need to find hair dye

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Found the hair dye. Sorta. Rit says they don't make black dye and their darkest is Graphite. Booo.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Prepare to Dye Little Pony!

Dye, dye, dye my darling!
Don't utter a single wooord!

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Well that was a waste it just washed right out.

Yikes! G4 hair is weird
I’m guessing you used Rit-dye? Maybe setting it with vinegar (?) would help. I remember reading something about it a while ago.

Yeah, Rit Dye More. I'll try the vinegar thing tomorrow. Thanks.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Screw it! I am so done with this stupid pony. It still won't stick. Its strange since I didn't have this problem when I was re-pinking G1s and G3s.

Other then washing out the vinegar smell, fixing up areas around the eyes and doing a few touch-ups here and there, what you see, is what you get. Whirlpool is pretty much finished I guess. Ugh.

Sorry the dye didn't work out. It's always so frustrating when something should wok, but doesn't. I really like him though, the colour combo is really vibrant and unique.

You n me both. Very frustrating. I've been told the hair isn't nylon. Glad you like him anyway.
