Description
This is my first customized My Little Pony toy. It's Littlepip from the fan fiction Fallout: Equestria [link] by Kkat.I used a Fashion Style Rarity as the base and replaced the hair with hair from MyLittlePonyHair.com.
Please let me know what you think, it's my first project and I could always use some tips.
Also, I made a "making of" [link] video for it, mostly for my own amusement

She does when Homage is around

no she does not smile. She just hides her face in her hoofs. xD

This is pretty good, but the hair seems a little too long and tidy for her. She had a shorter haircut if I recall, one that was a bit more unruly.

Other then having a Pipbuck and being small, she's never described in the story. I used existing fanart for inspiration but decided to go with my own feel for the character rather then copy an existing fanart. I do agree the hair is too neat here, but I consider this more of her "glammer shot" rather then a day in the life. Also, the longer hair looks cuter

The paint job is gorgeous! It looks so smooth and you kept her eyes so clean!

That's because I didn't paint her, I used a dying process to dye her to the needed color. Makes for a much smoother body.

I've never seen that done before! She really looks lovely.

Thank you. I was looking online for ways to paint ponies and came across some dying tutorials. It's a lot harder, but it ends up much smoother.

BTW, your "Littlepip in pencil" was my inspiration for the Stable Barding. Yours was the only one I had seen where it actually looked like barding instead of a suit.

Cool! I actually looked up the definition of barding!

I used to make coat hangers in 1/25 scale, so I can imagine!

Littlepip's Littlepip should be a brownish color it's too new and shiny and she needs scars and blood stains........or is that too much? LOL Im just messing with you, this is AWESOME!!!! I bet Steelhooves would be a challenge.

Thanks!
I agree about the battle wounds, but I mainly placed this early, soon after she got the zebra rifle. As for her Pipbuck, I figured since she was the Pipbuck repair person, she would maintain hers and have access to better parts
Steelhooves will be a nightmare, he will be last if at all. I think Homage will be next since she will be easy, Calamity will require a body repaint (because I can't find a Fluttershy fashion toy) and a facial reconstruction but it shouldn't be too hard.

She would have the best parts lol.
The Zebra might be hard depending on how well you can pant stripes. Will Calamity have a battle saddle?

I ended up going with an Applejack head and a Princess Celestia body. He will have a battle saddle, I love making accessories
Zenith will be a fun project, but I need to get more practice first.

Sweet! Will you make any to sell? I would so love to have a Littlepip on my shelf hanging out with the mane cast....and my Beast War toys lol

I may make custom ponies for sale in the future, but I wouldn't feel right selling someone else characters so it would have to be a FO:E character of your own design. But, in the future, very limited free time lately.

Aww, well maybe Kkat will buy some from you, that would be cool right? (I commented on the video but I didn't think it went threw but then you commented back so sorry for the duble post)
In my head she is white with dark brown hair that is really short, cause that is how my Fallout human looks lol.

I had the comment settings wrong before, fixed now.
In my mind she's a medium grey, but the hair color I bought matches how I pictured it perfectly except it's longer on the toy. The Pipbuck looks nothing like how I imagined it, I kept trying to recreate the one in my mind but couldn't do it. I created this one while watching MLP with my kid, just absent mindedly sculpting away at it. Turned out the best so far so I kept it

That hair looks hard to lace threw on the head, I have to give you mad props for that and sculpting. My art is mostly metal based, I may just give Steelehooves a shot.

It wasn't easy, didn't help that I didn't have the right tools and had to make my own. For example, I made a tool to expand the hole using a picture hanging nail shoved into the end of a glue stick LOL But, it was worth it

Awww, I would be the type to try to glue hair to the scalp it's self lol. I hope this get put up on EQD that would be awesome and get you a lot of views.
