I don't have any, I didn't really buy customs except for a few super cheap ones on EBay (under $20) but I remember being in love with the metal ones and trying to make one myself. It didn't end well  >_<

CSA! :cheer:
Another recent "returner" to customs here.
No idea about selling as I didn't get back into it, yet, but there is still a lot of pony love around. And some people are coming back :lovey:

Amazing to browse the customs you did. Wow. Sooooo maaaaany. I remember a lot of them. Always loved the rearing ones and Locket is one of my favourites too. Also your flamed welded customs. So many happy memories.
I don't think I own one of your customs  :cry: but it's so good to see Azure, the blue dragon in your collection. This makes me so happy. :D
Please get back into customizing. I want a CSA-custom...   :P

Azure is an absolute gem in my collection!   A bit tricky to dust, lol.

Hi there! I don't have any of your customs, but I always love to see pics of them!
As for the market... I stopped making customs with G1 bases starting this year, sales tapered off so much in 2019 it was difficult to make back the cost of the bait + a few bucks. I have a few G4 victims for sale no bites atm (I sell them for $15 or less!!)

I have your “flamed kissed” Moondancer!  She has held up great and is not tacky or sticky like some other customs.  She is on a shelf in my display cabinet with some of my more special ponies.  :) Good to see you again- I always loved your flame kissed ponies, and also the carousel you brought to the pony fair!

Wow, welcome back!! I think I did get a pony from you - it was a prize for winning some kind of contest you ran! She's beautiful, a purple appaloosa I believe! I can't track down any photos I have of her (probably on my old photobucket, LOL!), but I'll try to get a new one for ya! She's still here, still loving life! It's a real throwback to see your name again, I'm glad you came back! ^_^ I always wondered where you went!

EDIT: OMG, I just went through my PMs, and I realized - it was your fakie-makeover contest that I won all those years ago! She's still one of my favorite customs I made! It was such a fun contest, I think about it every time I see her on my shelf, and I think what a clever concept it was! Here's a little memory jogger:

Glad to see some familiar faces!

Personally I've had less time to make customs, though I try to post some once in awhile. Like someone else said, a few per year instead of nearly one per month. Some of my projects have branched out into plushes and other weird things lol.

I don't believe I have any customs of yours, CSA, but I've always been inspired by them!

I noticed activity dropping sometime during MLP:FIM. I'm sure some of it is because social media platforms are sucking away the pony people, but I also feel like some of it is because G4 was The Current Thing so there was just less interest in the other generations of ponies and pony art. I remember back when I joined it was G1 and G3 customs posted in the forum, then about 4-5 years ago (where has the time gone?) most of the customs posted were G4. Now less people post in Customs, but the ponies displayed there are from any generation it seems, so I think maybe some of that added G4 fanbase has moved on.

I do miss when things were more active; I remember when posts would drop off the front page within two days. In the Customs forum, my post from December is still on the front page. I'm glad to see there are some old-timers here like me!

The fakie contest was so much fun! And that pony is stunning, Snapdragon - I love the intricate paintwork and owls are the best!

Here's my entry: https://haawan.webs.com/seppo_kollaasi.jpg
I'm still very fond of this little warhorse!

I wish I had made her!  She was one of my favs for the contest.  I have all the entries saved....should I make a post and show them off?
