Hello friends!

[faespirit]

I am a 14-year old brony from Pennsylvania. When I was very young, I used to play with fakies until I discovered the actual fandom in 2013. My collection is mostly made up of G4s although I do have some G1s and G3s. I believe that I have a little under 100 ponies in my collection but that will change soon. Currently, my favorite pony from the G4 line is Blossomforth as I love her unique eyes and Gusty from the G1 line.

Aside from collecting ponies, I really enjoy art- specifically anime. Additionally, I absolutely love customizing G4 brushables to make characters from the my little pony comics. However, the problem is that every time my creation does not look good to me and I lose motivation and fail.  My goal is to overcome the social anxiety I have had for two years by learning more about the community and possibly making great friends! I do have a lot of questions about the fandom.

Hi fanime5

Welcome to the Arena.  I remember the day I 'broke' my first 100 ponies!  It was quite a milestone and it sounds like you are not far away from yours now too.  I collect mostly G1 and G3 ponies but I have quite a few G2 and G4s sneaking their way into my herd too.  My favourite G4 is Zecora.  Who can resist a pony that glows in the dark? LOL   I hope you enjoy the forums and I look forward to seeing you around

My daughter also does that stuff on her computer! But her love of collecting ponies came to a stop! She did ask about this site not to long ago wondering if she was old enough. She is the same age as you!

I am happy to hear that you have a hobby that makes you happy! Don't let others get you down about your art and your hobby!

Sounds like your off to amazing start on that pony collection!

There are many very nice collectors and members out there!

Oh ya and welcome to the arena!

     Hay there! Welcome to the arena! I started officially collecting with g4 in 2013 as well. My personal favourite g4 in the collection is mrs. cake. I like how her eyes look very much like in the show. Gusty is a popular one here on the arena. It’s hard not to like her!
     I’m an artist myself, and so are many talented people here! We love ohhh-ing and ahh-ing at peoples art. Why not put some up in the arts corral? I had social anxiety for a while too, but art and the friends I made through it really helped. I hope we can help you accomplish your goal!

Welcome to the Arena

It sounds like you have quite the collection already! My collection is mainly G1 with a few G2s, G4s, and McDonalds ponies thrown in Gusty is so cute, I'm happy to have her in my signature I understand how easy it is to lose motivation as well. I've done that with quite a few drawings... Anyway, you should check out the customs board and the arts and crafts corral, they may inspire you to keep going! I hope you will achieve your goal too

Have fun exploring the forum, it's nice to meet you

Welcome to the arena, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Sounds like you've got a lovely collection so far, I can't wait to see it grow!
I very recently began collecting G4 ponies so I'm a little new to that generation I usually focus on the first 3. I personally love G4 Pinkie Pie and G1 Sundance.

You can show off your customs here at the arena! I bet they look fantastic! If you need help with something or don't know where to go next with your custom, don't hesitate to ask, we're all willing to help
I know what it's like to have social anxiety, but here at the arena you can forget your worries, everyone here is lovely to talk to!


I'll see you around the forums!

Welcome to the Arena!

Yay, Gusty is also my favourite pony! She's a popular one like Mewtwofan1 said. I also like Blossomforth a lot, and the other G4 ponies released around the same time!

We'd love to see your artwork and custom ponies if you'd like to share them. Hope you enjoy your stay!
