Hii! I wanted to make this post to show the process of making this custom pony, since I hadn't seen any Pegasus customs with a raised hoof before, so I thought it would be interesting.
⚠️ The custom still not finished! but the raised hoof is. ⚠️
To start, I cut off Rainbow Dash's leg.
The original plan was to make the raised hoof using the original leg, just like a photo ive seen in pinterest. Sadly IDK whos the author, so I can't give credits. :(
But I realized I would have to carve it more, and I was afraid of messing it up and losing it. So I went with a friend's suggestion and decided to 3D print it instead.
I modeled the new leg based on a photo of my Rarity. Adding a cut at the base of the hoof and another where it would connect to the body.
I printed it, and it turned out okay, but the connection angle was wrong.
I could have kept it like that and just sculpt the rest with Durepox, but I decided to print it again with a better-aligned angle, and it worked out really well. I probably could have made the cut a little lower, but I'm happy with the final result.
I glued it to the body with Tekbond, let it dry, and then filled the gaps with Durepox.
I let it cure until the next day so I could sand it down, and after sanding, it looks seamless! :D really happy with how it turned out.
That's it for today! I may come back to show the finished result of the custom. tysm for reading!! :D 💖💖💖
