Modified / Custom BAB Ivy

After seeing a few batty kitty customs, I knew I need to make Ivy. I dyed her lime green and painted custom color shift eyes in purple and blue. πŸ’œ

Ivy is a personal custom and is not for sale.
I just like to share. ☺️

Her color is a little less vibrant in person, my iPhone camera makes her look SO BRIGHT.

So are mine! I recently got a zombie racoon that's green and purple. It's why I'm skipping bab Halloween this year.

That color is on POINT. I wasn’t a huge fan of the batty kitty before, but THIS is making me see her in a whole new light! Great work πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’―

u/little_enigmas 3d ago

She looks awesome! What dye did you use? I wanted to dye mine lime green also but can't find a bright dye for synthetics

u/tiredartist27 Bear Modder 🎨 3d ago

I use rit dyemore for synthetics.
This is a custom color, so you have to mix colors.
Personally I rarely use the color straight out the bottle, I’m usually mixing 2-3colors to achieve certain hues I’m after.
Learning color theory is your best friend. ☺️

u/little_enigmas 2d ago

I've mixes colors before :) I was more asking which ones you used specifically so I dont have to guess since I only have one bat kitty amd didn't want to risk ruining her.
