Title: Halloween swap time! COMPLETED
Post by: sunnydaze on July 22, 2012, 10:59:37 PM

Hi guys it's time for the annual Halloween swap thread to begin!  

This is the third year I've ran out with this thread and the 5th yr it's been running!
I can't barely wait for Halloween it's one of my favourite holidays and swaps to participate in!!!

Please post along with me if you are interested in joining!!

We had 32 participants last yr and every pony made it to their partner!

I have forwarded the rules to the mods for approval and hopefully we can start sign ups on Tuesday the 24th!!

This is usually a tri level swap so we welcome newbies, the highly experienced and everybody in between.

Lets hope we get approval quickly!!

Yay approval has been granted!!!

Who's ready to get started planning for Halloween customs?

Swap Rules

1. You must have at least 3-5 Arena feedbacks. Since this is a pony based swap, I am more interested in your pony feedback here. I will accept ebay feedback(must be at or close to 100%) and MLPTP feedback, depending on the situation we have some newbies interested and I don’t want to exclude them. Ask if you are not sure!!!!
2. All swappers must have made and posted customs within the last 6 months. This is not a random pairing… I know that some are interested in Gorey/creepy ponies others are into the cute/fun Halloween themes. I want to please as many as possible in this regard.
3. The shipping date will be 12 October. No one likes waiting, mail before or ON TIME! I do hate to nag but am not above it.
4. The deadline for signups will be August 3rd This gives you approximately 10 weeks to complete your pony. There will be check in points along the way.
5. I will be pairing on preference and a little on skill level. If you prefer non scary, no gore, but would rather cute/fun...whatever...please list that in your sign up. If you dearly would love a zombie pony but not a folksy scarecrow, let your partner know. Your finished pony should be an adult pony unless your partner says a baby is okay.
6. PM me your Form (below)! Please put "Halloween Custom Swap 5.0" in the subject line so I can store it in the right place.
7. Life happens to everyone. If, after you join, you find you are unable to complete your pony, please PM immediately! I would much rather know sooner than later so I can work on getting a replacement partner.

Deadlines:
Sign-ups to begin July 24, 2012 until August 3, 2012
Partners assigned: August 5, 2012
First Check in: August 30, 2012
Second check in: September 14, 2012 (one month before ship date)
Ship: October 12th, 2012(on or before) International might want to aim for before.

The Form: (This needs to be sent to me, via PM! Please be sure to put “Halloween Custom Swap 5.0” in the title)
Arena Name:
Real Name and Address:
Email:
Preferences: Scary, gory, cute, no scarecrow, evil jack o lantern...whatever you feel your partner needs to know
Any generation you would NOT like to receive?: G1, G2, G3, G4
Is there anything you dislike on customs? (sculpted hair, extra long hair, hair in buns etc)
Will you ship internationally?
Other swaps you are currently in:
Link to Arena Feedback
Link to examples of your customs:

Shipping:
Customs must be well packed for shipping.
Do not use newspapers or colored tissue paper in direct contact with the completed custom.(it can stick or cause discolouration)
Do not ship customs that are sticky/tacky or not fully dry.
Do use some sort of padding like bubble wrap, white tissue paper, peanuts, etc.
*KEEP your receipt when you mail your custom off, this may be the only proof you have in the event it is lost. This rarely happens but it has.*

Once we get approval the dates will be in the OP!!  :)  There's a pretty long lead time for it! sign -ups ideally I'd like them to start Tuesday and partners by Aug 5th unless the slots fill up really fast then it'll be sooner!

Anything Halloween!! Pretty much, once you get assigned your partner, you find out what their likes/dislikes are, whether they're into gory stuff or simple cutesy stuff, then you design your pony based off of that. You should also include fun stuff in your box for your partner. A few years ago (since I was MIA last year), I sent my partner a good bit of candy and those dots candy on paper since it was her fav. I created that lighted wolf pony with the carved butt because she loves wolves and then I made his Halloween outfit based off of her favorite movie, Spirited Away.

Swaps like these, you do need to create a little budget so you can get little Halloween goodies to send to your partner, but it's super fun!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Who's in???
Post by: Sarahlacewing on July 23, 2012, 11:06:41 AM

The Halloween swap is the best annual swap in my opinion.  If you are thinking of doing it... do it! You will be sad you missed it when you see the awesomeness that comes from it.  And it's a nice general topic even though it's a solid theme.  So you can have all kinds of different customs come out of it.

Why don't we all share some of our past ponies? ^_^

Here's the one I made for the 2010 swap

I went more with a general autumny look. There are pumpkins, cats, corvids and wonky trees, though. ;) I think the whole idea started from the cat, those were one of the things on my partner's list and somehow it evolved into this. :)

The Halloween swap from 2010 was my very first custom [group] swap, and it was so much fun! I'm gonna have to see if I can do it again this year, I hated missing out on it last year. Halloween is my favorite holiday too!

This is the one I made for that swap: visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I got a really cool Day of the Dead custom in return. This swap gets so many different interpretations on the theme, I love it! :heart:

Puuuuuuuuuuuushie, we'll miss you! But it's good to know one's limits... I'm afraid I might make some bad decisions regarding swaps sometimes, ehhh. 

I've recently got back into Magic the Gathering and I feel so inspired by the awesome artwork on those cards. I love the black ones - the more zombies the merrier! :'D And I was never even that much into zombies. Anyway, I think I'll be back to link some inspiring pictures later.

haha, aww, I'm sure you couldn't disappoint anyone! I never care who's making for me, I always get great ponies out of swaps :) But I get so excited to see who I get to make for, because making the pony as personal as possible is such a big part of the fun!

THIS ^ ^ ^ !

But even if I got a custom that wasn't amazing, or the best finished, or even downright shoddy...
I wouldn't care, I would still love it because someone went to the time and effort to make it especially for me and I'd rather have something personal like that on display with my collection, than a really amazing off the shelf custom,  knowing that its one of a kind and made with me in mind :)

So I can only hope I get someone like minded!

Wahoooooo!! Yes!! I'd rather shop at Joanns than anywhere else, so I'm GLAD you said that!! Yeah, I saw that my local stores had some fabrics, but not nearly as much yet, and I mainly like to shop for the fun decorating stuff too. But, that's last minute stuff anyway. :P

Thank you everybody for the offers of help!  if only any of you lived close by and could come read the pm's and load the info into the spread sheet i use to keep track of everybody!! 

I had a really full plate this past week with starting two more part time jobs outta the home on top of the one I already had... and have had even more entrants asking...at this point it's kinda like why not! the more the merrier!  so I think I will add the last two people and and I have two days off to work on pony stuff so yay me! 

I was going to do a bunch of the pairing last night but I ate dinner and began to fall asleep ... I had family visiting and not enough time to do everything this week...so I can now use my computer time to do the things I need to get doing!

I want to know who my partner is too!  LOL

The higher skilled group is matched I'll match the others tomorrow morning and start sending PM's.

I want to cross check previous yrs for the intermediate group to try to not repeat partners from previous yrs!

I also want to make sure the pairing for the newbies/beginners is equal as well.

All that I ask is that everybody have fun and work their hardest to create a special Halloween gift for a new or existing pony friend!

The sad thing is that they've already started stocking Halloween stuff here.  Way too freaking early if you ask me, but then again, Toys R Us starts hiring for the Christmas crowd in early to mid September. *shrugs*

I have no problem with clowns (though I'm not that excited about them, and if my form would inspire my partner to make a clown pony, I'd seriously question their reading skills, lol... No offence :D ) or spiders. Spiders are cool... the only critters I'm actually scared of are centipedes, eurgghhh. *shudder* But that mostly goes for real ones, I can even take some rubbery fake bugs... maybe. I don't have a phobia after all, I just find those creatures utterly disgusting.

edit/ I promised to add some inspirational pics at some point... now these are all MtG card pics, of course there would be plenty of other picture material available around the internet but let's start with these since they're all in one place and were easy to find. :)

I can't wait to see what my partner is looking for.  Just remember people- Please no clowns or zombies for me! And definitely no Zombie Clowns!  Nothing is more psychologically damaging than Zombie Clowns!

^This=the truest thing I think I've ever heard

I have mixed feelings on spiders. I hate their eyes and their mouths. but as a design if it's done in a cute way is fine. And I love spider webs.

May I also take a moment to share this from someecards.com sent to me by a friend recently.  (is it ok to post this if I credit the source?)

I am there with you.  So many different options to choose from. Shall we start flushing out our preferences with some questions?
First of all who is dressing up for Halloween and what are you going to be?

We haven't exactly decided yet.  I am due on Oct 31st so I am thinking I might get one of those shirt costumes for preggos that make your tummy look like a pumpkin.  Or I might just put myself in a box and get a shirt with a cinnamon roll on it. Get it... bun... in the oven?  Anyway I am not 100% but nothing scary this year my 2 year old isn't down with the scary.

Woo!  A partner!  I'm really excited to make them a pony...but their choices are going to challenge me.  That's good though!  I want to know more!  Thinking of questions that will help flesh out the details!

This year, we are going to Disney for a week with my best friend's family during their Halloween celebration.  The whole bunch of us are planning Star Wars costumes.  Not sure what mine is, but I think my kiddos will be Ewoks.

Post by: Griffin on August 08, 2012, 02:42:05 PM

I don't know if anyone we know will throw a Halloween party... well maybe I'll attend the traditional Hween sitz party our student organisation hosts every year, I don't know yet. And I always dress in my old gothic clothing since I don't have any exciting accessories or costumes and I don't want to spend on something "useless" like that. xD Not with my income at least.

I would really enjoy a real Halloween party but it's not that big a thing in Finland, it's considered something kids do, and mainly an "American thing" anyway. :D (Another stupid Finnish generalisation: USA = America  :hmm: ) Besides, people don't even know when to celebrate it so you might get visitors any night during the week before & after Oct 31st. XD (All Saints' Day here is always Saturday so it can be any day between Oct 31st and Nov 6th, and many people mistake that for "Halloween"... or they just pick a day that suits them best since it's not official here. I already learned the "correct" date when I had my first English classes when I was little, and I've always been very particular about the date, lol. Back then we actually used to throw some Halloween parties and go to trick-or-treating with our friends.)

So sorry for the delay!!!!

Ok so there we have it 12 pm's sent out...I sadly just ran outta time to finish this morning before heading to work...

And i know some partners left their forms purposely very vague and open so their partner can really have free reign but some times it's helpful to have a starting point in regards to favourite themes or colours...so please if you think you didn't mention a few favourite colours or that say you love skeletons more than pumpkins plese use the thread to help your partner find a few hints about what you really love! Please post!

Me i love purple and green and black and I love glitter but not excessive glitter!  I also love glow in the dark and thermal change colour stuff!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: enchantress41580 on August 09, 2012, 12:04:15 AM

oh yes, purple, greens and blacks are favs for Halloween colors, but I also love bright reds and blacks. Witches are favorites- something magical and mysterious and a bit spoooooky. Glitter is cool (I agree with Sunny, not excessive). LOVE the striped stockings on witches and their little boots with the curled tips. I also love black cats. Now a lot of these pictures are cutesy- however if you want to try twisted or darker, go for it ;)

To give you some inspiration of what I like-

Post by: blackestbird on August 09, 2012, 12:12:23 AM

In the way of colors as far as Halloween goes, I like purples and greens, and of course the neutral black/white, in my combinations more than, say, orange and black - not to say I don't like orange! It depends on the design, orange may be better than, purple for example, but in general I like orange as part of the accenting better than the main component. I like pastel Halloween colors too, pastel with neons, etc. I like rhinestones & glitter, but not in excess. Glow in the dark is cool!

For themes, I know I listed like everything Halloween XD, so 'favorites' for me would be ravens, skeletons, bats over pumpkins, ghosts, witches - unless turning the pony into a witch, I love witch pony customs, I just don't necessarily care for a witch cutie mark/symbol. I left some more specifics on my form, but as far as the general Halloween theme goes, that's what appeals to me most.

Hopefully that clears my form up some, since I kinda just listed anything that came to mind whatsoever XD.

Post by: Griffin on August 09, 2012, 03:59:58 AM

I think I have given more than enough ideas for themes in my form (sorry if it's too much! lol) but I actually forgot to mention my colour likes... or dislikes. I'm actually not very fond of purple, or purple & green combo... :lookround: I love green, and purple has its place, e.g. combined with black, dark blue or pink. I love orange, too (candy corn colours = yummy!), and burgundy red would work pretty nicely as a Halloween colour, I think, for something dark and elegant. But yeah, I don't want to limit my partner too much, and I guess my theme choices will make it unlikely that they chose the green + purple combo, but well... just a little heads-up in case you were considering it, dear partner... ;)

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: Englishgothgirl on August 09, 2012, 04:50:27 AM

Colour wise I'm happy with anything, but LOVE green, black & purple

...... I'm not too impressed by the whole "candy corn" thing, but that's because I'm English and we don't have it over here, so it doesn't really mean anything to me

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: sunnydaze on August 09, 2012, 07:54:05 AM

Oh I love that everybody has some really cool ideas about how they like colour combo's for Halloween!  I like to use this site http://www.colourlovers.com/ it lets you check out different paletes and play with your own to help get the right combo's together I find it very useful when you think something just doesn't quite look right...I use it for lots of customs to help me decide on colour schemes!!!

Just got my partner! I can't wait to start.

Post Merge: August 09, 2012, 08:15:38 AM

New topic for discussion!! Post all of the things you like to receive in your goodie box! As Halloween approaches, we need to think about what kind of goodies to put in our boxes for our partners, including yummy candy!!

I'll start! For my partner, I'm really open to almost anything.

I do NOT like licorice, mint or most chocolates, and no circus peanuts.

I DO looooove Reeses peanut butter stuff (ie the peanut butter pumpkins). And I like caramel stuff. OH! And I love white chocolate.

Unfortunately, I'm not too big into candy and now that I have braces, I can't eat hard stuff.

For goodies, I like anything I can decorate my home with or even stuff for my dogs and cats. Lol, I have a new Pomeranian pup, a German Shepherd and a Husky. :P

Candles, room spray, anything goes! I love the Halloween/Fall scents of Pumpkin spices, Cinnamon and anything else. I also have a scentsy, so any of those scented wax cubes are fine!

For me, just pick anything and I'll probably love it! XD


*Edit*

Oh, I'm a boob. I didn't really say what I like pony wise. :|
I like gory stuff or cutesy stuff, all depends on what my partner is into making. :)
I really like Resident Evil, zombies, Silent Hill, etc. But if it's cute, I looooove kitties.   ....(and boy ponies) :P

I like anything to do with "Cute" Halloween themed! Any colors work for me, whatever works best with the pony.

Extras: I do not like licorice but I do like the Cherry flavored Twizzlers! I like stickers/stationary...Anything really, I'm not hard to please. :)

I'm up for pretty much anything as far as sweets go XD There's not a lot I don't like, although like others, not a fan of black licorice. I love candy corn - and I don't know why, but the pumpkins are my favorite XD I like the plain & chocolate candy corn.

As for any other extras people might consider, Halloween is my favorite holiday, so anything goes really with this swap, aside from things I've mentioned like not liking extreme gore, spiders, clowns. I also love anything autumn-associated really, like fall scents, maybe seasonal candies, etc. It's easy to please me with the Halloween/autumn theme, it's my favorite time of year altogether. :3

Another mention: those of you not in the states, if there's anything available over here that you love and can't get where you are, that might come in handy for people to know too. This is probably mostly along the lines of sweets people may want to include.

Treats!
Likes: Kit kats, Hershey kisses, smarties, small toys/erasers.
Dislike: gummies, jelly beans, candy corn.

Post by: blackestbird on August 09, 2012, 01:15:44 PM

Hmm, I'm not sure how to describe candy corn. As for looks, it'd be easier to just do an image search, but as for taste....they're described as being a mallowcreme candy I believe, and I think they use honey to sweeten them - which, btw, they're super sweet lol. But their texture is soft and creamy, they kinda melt in your mouth, but they're still a solid candy. Agh, I don't know how to describe them really!

Not strange at all though, I think this comes up every Halloween swap actually, I've seen this question a lot ^^

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: SoldierofTwilight on August 09, 2012, 01:47:29 PM

WaePonies...I'd suggest asking for a little bag in your box, JUST to try them out!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_corn

Manufacturers first combined sugar, corn syrup, wax, and water and cooked them to form a slurry. Fondant was added for texture and marshmallows were added to provide a soft bite. The final mixture was then heated and poured into shaped molds. Three passes, one for each colored section, were required during the pouring process.

hmmm treats.... I love gummies, snickers, reeses peanut butter cups, kazoozles (if anyone hasn't tried these, you should!), reeses pieces, mainly anything gummy is sure to get a smile lol.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: gemini_pony on August 09, 2012, 02:35:32 PM

Colors- I love Black, oranges,greens the  typical Halloween colors!

Treats LOVE candy corn especially the different flavored ones <3, any gummy candy, It would be nice to get black licorice for my hubby.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: Prismatic on August 09, 2012, 03:11:16 PM

I love purple or green and black, but I also like orange for Halloween items.  Most halloween themes are great for me, as long as it's not gorey or overly scary.  Other than clowns <.<  I really like the cute witches Enchantress posted, and well, anything cute lol.  I love the bat wings on those bunnies XD  Ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, cute bats...

I'm part of the minority that loves black licorice lol.  Candy corn is awesome too, my favorites are the pumpkins.  I like most chocolate, especially reese's, kitkats, and milk duds, and those little foil wrapped halloween themed chocolates.  Skittles, starburst, sweet tarts, nerds, DOTS <3...the only things I really don't like are the circus peanuts and those taffy candies wrapped in orange and black paper.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: enchantress41580 on August 09, 2012, 03:30:18 PM

No black licorice for me! I just like the cherry kind although there is an organic blueberry licorice that is totally delish-

oh yes, DOTS are a weakness...

Post by: Elfpony on August 09, 2012, 04:51:01 PM

Yay partner!!!

For me, I love anything chocolate, and my favourite is peanut butter and chocolate.  I have a mild nut allergy - peanuts are fine it's other nuts I'm allergic to.  I also like candy corn and gummies.  Not such a fan of hard candies.

For the pony, I like purple, black, and red the best, and anything goth.  I also like traditional Halloween themes/colours.

Right!  I'm off to dive into the bait box!

Colors: I love black, orange, pink, red
Treats: I'm not picky about treats and I adore black licorice. I don't prefer the excessively soft type though I love the jellybeans! I also like the circus peanuts but they have to be soft and fresh. I hate them if they have gotten hard and stale. By the way, it's very difficult to find fresh ones! I like chocolate (white and milk) better than fruit flavored gummies and other candy. I do adore the black and orage wrapped peanut butter taffy type candies! Candy corn is always yummy!

treats: I love all candy but hard candy the only hard candy i like is Carmel i also don't like licorice

Post by: BlackCurtains on August 09, 2012, 05:24:43 PM

I don't think I mentioned colors or anything like that so...

My favorites are orange, green, yellow, darker reds (like rust or crimson), and earthy neutral colors (black, browns, colors of metal, etc). I'm not fond of purple actually, or pink but that's not a Halloween color anyway XD

Candy... I don't have much of a sweet tooth really. I like cinnamon, clove or coffee hard candies the best. I love Strawberry Twizzlers ^^ No chocolate please! It will melt, even in October. It's so hot here :hot:

Post by: SoldierofTwilight on August 09, 2012, 06:45:21 PM

Now that I think about it, I love those little candies called Bleeps. Most of the time, you can only get them in those glass jars for $.50 or a quarter. :/

I'd die to have a bag full again. I remember picking them up when I was on vacation in North Carolina, but they're so hard to find in bulk. And yes, I even spent nearly $20 to get a 5lb bag of them when I was there! Lol.

Too bad my local joanns hasn't put out halloween stuff yet! I'm so excited to get started before I start my new job!
Hahaha, reading over most of these posts, a lot of people dislike clowns! I'm not so fond of them, they creep me out. I think it was because I watched Killer Clowns from Outer Space when I was little. >.>

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!

I'm not a fan of clowns either because I watched the movie "IT" when I was little...what was my parents thinking!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: Tribble79 on August 09, 2012, 06:57:32 PM

LOL... I think clowns can be cool sometimes. The real life ones look freaky in person though....

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: RedLynx on August 09, 2012, 07:21:29 PM

Mmmmm....treats, love that topic!  Halloween time has some of my favorite things ever!  My all time favorite thing is the Little Debbie or some similar brand of pumpkin cookies.  They are gingerbread jack o lanterns filled with yummy pumpkin filling.  Heaven!  I like chocolates, gummies, Dots.  Oooo, and marshmallow filled milk chocolate pumpkins!  I don't like licorice, bitter chocolate and I'm not fond of hard candies and gum.  I lime Sweet Tarts!  I love lime candy!  I also love hot chocolate and instant hot cider!  I love candy apples!  Red sugar coated ones!  Absolute awesomeness!  Caramel apples, too!  Sending those may be to big....but candy flavored like that on an off chance would rule!  And if my partner happens to be from across the pond.....I love Galaxy Minstrels, Lion Bars and Smarties ( the chocolate kind).  Also love all things Kinder and Droste milk chocolate.

On pony ideas....I don't have a scary bone in my body!  I'd live to see pics of ponies that people say are scary!  I don't want something scary for me though, please!  I have little kids and a conservative family that would tsk at me until, I put it away.  Cute or pretty say werewolf or vampire is just fine.  I love the movie Blood and Chocolate
  And I find Kirsten Dunst's little baby doll vampire from Interview with vampire intriguing and scary in a cool way. I really love black cats and cute bats!  I love long hair and punk hair!  I like glitter and tinsel, greens and purples! I like blues of any sort!  Really, I like a little of everything!

I want to see more custom pictures and inspirations, please!  :) I missed out last year!

Post by: BlackCurtains on August 09, 2012, 08:06:37 PM

What are your favorite poses in each gen? I forgot that in my form too. Might be helpful! :lol:

G1, I love Tootsie, Gingerbread, Sugerberry and Powder poses.
G3, Kimono, Clone (really!), Valenshy ... pretty much all of them though!

I'm not super picky however ^.^ Whatever works with your design, partner. I more or less asked this to get answers myself... :ninja:

Yay! I am excited about my partner... I don't know where to start?

I am there with you.  So many different options to choose from. Shall we start flushing out our preferences with some questions?
First of all who is dressing up for Halloween and what are you going to be?

We haven't exactly decided yet.  I am due on Oct 31st so I am thinking I might get one of those shirt costumes for preggos that make your tummy look like a pumpkin.  Or I might just put myself in a box and get a shirt with a cinnamon roll on it. Get it... bun... in the oven?  Anyway I am not 100% but nothing scary this year my 2 year old isn't down with the scary.

I'm dressing up in my tradition "Dark Princess" costume again.

So sorry for the delay!!!!

Ok so there we have it 12 pm's sent out...I sadly just ran outta time to finish this morning before heading to work...

And i know some partners left their forms purposely very vague and open so their partner can really have free reign but some times it's helpful to have a starting point in regards to favourite themes or colours...so please if you think you didn't mention a few favourite colours or that say you love skeletons more than pumpkins plese use the thread to help your partner find a few hints about what you really love! Please post!

Me i love purple and green and black and I love glitter but not excessive glitter!  I also love glow in the dark and thermal change colour stuff!

I love peacock colors.  I love jewel tones. I love G1 Princess Ponies and TE Ponies. And MGR Ponies.

I prefer monstrous animals, over monstrous people. I do love sexy Halloween witches though too.

I do not like gore. Or Zombies. In fact the only Zombies I want near me are the ones made by Diana Arcuri.  I don't know how she does it, but somehow hers are both beyond terrifying AND cute. I mean adorable. I still love Coffee and Brains.  I was so sad I didn't win that raffle. But I know it went to a good home.  But I digress.... 

I love Crypto Zoology.

Dragons
Unicorns
Pegasai
Mantacore
Chimera
Griffins

etc.

I love snakes, but not as ponies.

I love Ancient Egypt.  I think Nekhbet and Isis are awesome.

I love Vultures.   Call me crazy, but I think they are gorgeous.  Also condors. Gotta show love for the Andean Candor.

As far as Halloween Customs, I currently have ponies dressed in Costume.  (so cute).  So many areas of Halloween custom are still open in my collection, in that regard.

Those cookies RedLynx mentioned, the ones with pumpkin filling...YUM-MAZING! I should add, I'm not a big fan of hard candies either. I'm pretty open to any sweets, but hard candies aren't really my favorite, i.e. Jolly Ranchers - I hate regular Jolly Ranchers actually. I'm more of a chewy candy or chocolate/caramel kinda person.

Also- I should point out that I do not want a Wicked Witch of the West/Elphaba Custom.  Unless you can find something different that the Green/Black color scheme. I love that character. In both Wizard of Oz and Wicked. Love her.  But that color scheme is sooooo boring! I would love to see a new take on her. Or even Ruby/Silver Slippers personified.  But please not a green and black pony!

Poses....my all time favorite G1 is the shy unicorn, like Gypsy.  I love Dancing Butterfly's pose, Powder's pose...most of them are great.  I'm not fond of the collector's pose.  G2...hrm...not fond of any.  G3 I like most of them!   Especially like the sassy and turned head looks like hrm...Bumblesweet and Parasol, think.  G4...I guess I like all feet planted better.  Really, whatever fits the design is great!

Dear partner...how do you feel about hair?  Are you hoping for long, flowing locks....or would other alternatives be.  fine?  :) As for me, I noted before that I live long hair and mohawks with long "bangs" and such.  I have a bait like that and she looks so sassy, it's great!  Can't bring myself to actually prep her.

I didn't list much in my sign-up form, and I am sorry about that! Bats would be my favorite theme for a Halloween pony, but I also love black cats, ghosts, pumpkins, candy corn and witches. I like red, green/purple, and orange/black. My favorite colors, in general, are pink, blue and yellow, but I'm not really sure how those could tie into a Halloween pony. XD

I love all generations of ponies! Even G3.5. My favorite type of pony is pegasi, but I don't mind Earth ponies and unicorns! I don't have a preference for pose.

Pretty sure I covered most everything in my form. My favorite color is purple. I love candy corn and peanut butter kisses (that PB taffy in the orange and black wax wrappers). Candy corn Hershey's Kisses are awesome, and I couldn't find them anywhere last year.

I know I didn't include this in my form, but I sometimes enjoying going to old cemeteries to look at the dates on the headstones. Maybe that's morbid, but it interests me.

I DO NOT LIKE CLOWNS. I don't much care for zombies (other than Ghoulia Yelps, of course :P).

I freaking LOVE glitter - go nuts with it. Tastefully. Sunny was my partner two years ago and sent me some awesome glow-in-the-dark glitter.

Poses... I'll just tell which I don't like. Then any other is fair game.
G1: Not a fan of the Cherries Jubilee, Buttons, Cupcake, or Princess Royal Blue.
G3: Minty, Sparkleworks, Rainbow Dash, Shelle Belle, Rhapsody Ribbons, or Sunrise.

Post by: Sarahlacewing on August 10, 2012, 09:33:24 AM

My partner didn't put too much in their form so I do hope they make their way around.  I have like 1000 ideas but I am worried I'll pick something they don't like since the prefs were a little general.

Let me try to keep up on the thread questions.  As far as poses I don't have any G2 ponies, but I don't really love or hate them I'm just indifferent:
Dislike: Most of the pudgy G1 adults so like cotton candy pose, G1 baby bbe (I don't mind the pose I just dislike the bbe).
Like: G1 babies, Most of the slender adult G1 poses like applejack, G1 sea ponies, Mostly all G3 poses, mostly all G4 poses.

I think that's all I see for now.  I like high contrast colors.  So red/black, white/black, hot pink/black, torquise/brown.  Just not pastels. :)

Hair: I am fine with dollyhair, alternatives like perfume puff/feathers/wires/etc, sculpted.  Really I am not picky about hair.  Generally speaking I like shorter/mid length hair.  If possible I'd like the pony to be able to stand on it's own for display purposes.  So if sculpted hair it needs to be well balanced.  Does that make sense?  I'm ok with bases but I'd rather they be decorative and not load bearing so the pony can be without the base if need be.

I love those peanut butter kiss things too :3

For poses, I'm really not that picky. My form specified I don't want a G2, and G4 poses are pretty limited. I won't list all the ones I like, because I think customs can make any pose, even the weird/less popular ones, look good. If any stick out as not liking, they'd be:

G1: None come to mind really. The Tootsie one is a little awkward, but again, it could work depending on the custom. I like the Collector Pose, but I don't know if I'd like it for this theme, I think other poses are more exciting.
G3: Shellbelle, Core/Blank, Pinkie Pie 'walking,' and I don't care for G3 babies.

Don't necessarily let pose preferences deter you, partner! If you think a certain pose fits your idea, go for it, I'll still love it I'm sure :heart: A lot of poses look worlds better as customs.

I should've mentioned I don't like G3.5 either.

Post by: Griffin on August 10, 2012, 10:08:35 AM

Mmmm treats. Sweets-wise I love almost anything. If my partner is from the States or any other place where you have some traditional Halloween treats, I'd love to get some since there's nothing available here. Otherwise I love chocolate (also dark & white), liquorice & salt liquorice, caramel/toffee... well pretty much anything really. (And someone mentioned Galaxy Minstrels... ooooh. I still have one bag left from our trip to Scotland last year. Perhaps I should eat them before they turn too hard to chew, lol. I have found them in Finland, in a shop that imports all kinds of British stuff, but they were ridiculously expensive. >_< )

I left out my fave/least fave poses on purpose, I think I'm learning to see the beauty in some of my former dislikes, too.  :P So don't be afraid to pick anything that goes with your design, dear partner!
But if you absolutely must know... I'll list some of those I'm not too fond of:
G1: Tootsie, all BBE babies, Baby Cuddles/MO Baby Halfnote, Sweetheart Sisters
G3: Daffidazey, Tangerine Twinkle, Shell-Belle, all babies
I like all G4 poses.

Yikes! How did this thing get so many pages??? Ok, I know mine was vague, so I'll try to help. I really am good with pretty much anything though so try not to stress if there's something you want to do but aren't sure. If you need more help have sunnydaze poke me.

Halloween likes (in no special order): wolves, bats, spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, candy corn, vampires, werewolves, moons, creepy trees, eyes in bushes, tombstones, graveyards, *thinks* haunted houses, trick or treating......Is that good? Oh, and they aren't Halloween but I love hamsters.

Color likes: Well.....My favorite of favorite colors is pink but that's not very Halloween. I like black alot too though and purple, orange, & green are good Halloween colors. Just whatever colors fit the design best.

Treat likes:
flavors: strawberry, banana, strawberry-banana, bubble gum, cotton candy, apple
candies: dark chocolate, bubble gum, taffy, airheads, lollipops; peanut butter kisses

I don't like licorice or candy corn (great theme, awful candies), but hubby loves both so I wouldn't mind those being included if you wanted to include them. I like to share.

I think that's it. Did I miss anything?

Oooh, me too! Peanutbutter kisses and peanutbutter M&Ms. I have to eat those slowly and carefully though.
I likes me some cookies too, if they're Sandies, White chocolate macadamia or have peanutbutter in them. :P


I was reaaally hoping my partner would have listed more of the goodies they like. >.>
Oh well!

Post by: starbritesprinkles on August 10, 2012, 07:10:05 PM

I love popcorn balls too. I'm probably one of the only people in the world who does. They're so good!

I also love Harry Potter, both the books and the movies. I know I left that out of my form, but my partner is free to ask any questions through the organizer if he/she wants to go that route.

I'mma go ahead and post pics of all of the 'Ween ponies I own, as well. So my partner can get an idea of what I have already. Not that I don't want to receive anything of the same theme, but just for a better idea of what I like.

The only one I'm missing is my candy corn carousel pony from DevlishSmooch from last year.

Post by: Tribble79 on August 10, 2012, 08:31:00 PM

Halloween likes: Hellhounds (my most favorite!!), Monster Plants- most favorite 2 but don't really know if they are halloweeny!- (i.e. Audrey II from Little shop of horrors, Venus Mcflytrap - Monster high), I adore skeleanimal stuff, cute devils, spiders, Jack o Lanterns, candy corn, moons, creepy trees, witches, halloween cats, and not halloweeny but love slugs (regular slugs, snails and sea slugs"nudibranch")

Color likes: Orange, Black, Green, Pink, yellow

Ponies: I love them all...
Pony Hair: I love alternative hair the best - dreadlocks, yarn, etc. the best, but any hair is okay with me...

Post by: NichiTsukinoko on August 10, 2012, 10:30:52 PM

Oh- I wanted to mention candy but I don't think I did.

I love black licorice, I love Chocolate, but don't send me chocolate. I only like 70% or better dark chocolate and nothing that's "chocolatey" vegetable oil is gross tasting and should never be used instead of cocoa butter. It's best to stick to non chocolate treats.

I love anything sour! And I mean sour! *drool*

And I just wanted to let my partner know that if you have a great idea, and you find that it's taking more time than you expected, I would rather it be late and awesome, then on time, and rushed.  If I get a Halloween pony at Christmas that blows me away... Still awesome.

Obviously it's very important to do your best to ship on time.  But me, personally, I would rather have your best work a little late, than a rush job on time.  I just wanted to throw that out there as a "just in case" scenario.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: jelzar on August 11, 2012, 03:20:00 PM

wow this got to so many pages so quick x.x

So for sweets i like. im'a sweet-aholic. so almost anything goes, its easier to say what i don't like i think :) I don't like mint, or chocolate (apart from white chocolate, i freaking love white chocolate) i don't mind if something has a little normal chocolate on it though, i can cope haha and i don't like black liquorish. Anything else is an all go ^^ eg. sour things, gummy things, sucky things. if my partner us in the US id love to try some of your traditional things, like candy corns? iv never tried them either.

I like most colours but the ones i prefer most are, black, purple, blue, silver, white and metalics but feel free to use whatever seems best for the pony :)

As i said I dont particularly want a zombie pony but anything else would be fine: witches, scarecrows, ghost, mummys, pixies, faries, crows, punk, goth, pumpkins, hellhounds, unicorns, imaginary beasts, bats, anything really. sorry that didn't narrow it down ><. Could be scary or cute, or normal.
I feel like i'm not helping narrow things down here haha *i'm easy to please promise*

i dont mind sculpted hair or normal hair and i don't mind what generation but i like G3 best :D

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Partners, partners!! Partners soon...!!!
Post by: Kazzellin on August 11, 2012, 04:24:32 PM

Whew! Finally caught up with the thread!

Okay, so colors: I live jewel tones amd pastels; I'm not fond of red, and I sadly see Orange every day while I'm at work, so I'm not sure is want that in the pony. (Don't let that drop you if you've already started, though. :) ). I'm not find of any neon colors except blue and green. I love purples and blues. :)

Candy-wise, I don't like anise licorice, but I love black gum drops and Crows candies. I'm weird, I know. :) Chocolate is always good, so long as it doesn't have the trick part in the treat - no jalapenos, please. I love salt water tardy, but not the blakc and Orange holloween ones. I've kinda moved away from candy corn, but if you have flavored ones, ill try them! And hars candy sticks, the kind you can get at the drug store - the original peppermint we know, blueberry, watermelon, cherry - yum!

Pose wise, I don't like the broken neck/diva pose, g1 collectors pose, or tootsie, firefly, moondancer, cupcake. I love the other g1 unis and peggies, though.

As mentioned, no gore for me, which also means no blood in general. I'm okay with critters, if you want, but nothing undead/zombie. I like cute and fun; if you can throw cool in there its better by 20%, as always. :D

As an off topic side note, my phones auto correct turned undead into infrastructure the first time I typed it. Yay?

Alright! Got my partner, and have an idea I want to run with. This should be so awesome! :}

Post by: PrincessDiana1982 on August 11, 2012, 06:19:58 PM

I thought I'd just say my favorite candy for my partner.  I love love love reeses peanut butter cups, so if you put any extras, like candy in it, feel free to put that in!!

Also, my fave color is blue, so feel free to put it as much in the custom as you can!  hehehe.  Any colors that go with the design of course, are fine!!!  And I like glitter! 

A reminder, I do NOT want any gore...no blood all over...no thanks!  Something cute & halloweeny is cool.  I like witches, black cats, pumpkins (plain or with the faces)....cute, simple things that scream halloween.  LOL.

And I just request the bait be anything but G2 - those are scary.  G3 or G4 are my faves for customs!!!!!

Alright, well, that is all I can think of right now.  If I think of anything else, I will be back here. 

So excited & I can't wait to get my pony in October!!!!

Post by: Elfpony on August 11, 2012, 06:24:34 PM

I'll try to get on every couple of days to answer questions and hopefully help out my partner.

There's only one pose I hate and that's the G1 TE Sweet Stuff pose.  I don't have any pony of that pose in my collection, I can't stand it.  My favourites are the G1 Sparkler, Dancing Butterflies, or Posey poses, G3 Kimono, diva pose, or any of those with the partly-closed eyes.  I always love unicorns the best.  But other than that one G1 pose, I'm not picky.

I've narrowed down to two baits, will probaby make the final decision later tonight.  I think I might do some sculpting this year.

Oh Poses!

I absolutely despise the Donkey Pose, the Broken Neck Pose and the Sunny Daze Pose.  A lot.

I love the Star Song, Sweetie Belle, Kimono, Rearing, and Periwinkle Poses.  Call me crazy, but I also like the Pinkie Pie "Walking" Pose.

As far as G1 Ponies I love All the Unicorns, Collector's Pose, And Locket's Pose.

As far as G2 ponies.... Anything but the "jointed legs" ponies.  they just look so odd!

I love Big brother ponies, but don't have any in my collection either. I usually only purchase ponies at yard sales and Goodwill and have yet to come across one!

I also love vultures, King Vulture being my favorite. I have a plush vulture running around here somewhere that my hubby bought me. I love it.

The halloween ponies are awesome!!! Made me remember that I adore caramel apples.

I have the bait. i have the hair colors. i have a sketch done but lord knows if I'll stick to it.  It always seems like I start out going one way with a custome and then it ends up going another way in the end. lol. now if the heat wave passes I could get some real work done.

Nobody hear is alergic to sculpting or wing material are they? I'm not but I've heard sometimes people are. I'm not saying which if either of these I may or may not be using, but chances are someone may need to know that. Infact, what are everyone's allergies?

I'm allergic to fragrance and I have asthma so smoke is not my friend.

Post by: PrincessDiana1982 on August 12, 2012, 10:35:23 PM

And I have year round allergies, but I will be fine.  I live with 3 cats, so I am used to animal dander, etc. - which I'm sometimes allergic to, but I am really fine with anything.  :biggrin:

As for me, I would of course prefer not to have any smoke smells on my pony, as that smell just hurts my nose!!  And I just hate the smell anyway! :)

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: Tribble79 on August 12, 2012, 10:51:05 PM

I havn't gotten started yet but do have an idea in progress. I will be doing something with my pony that I have never tried. I do have what I want to do sketched out, but it may change.

I am not allergic to anything (well I am, but I ignore it and take benadryl if I have a problem). So anything my partner wants to create, is fine....

I'd prefer to have a G3 or G4- G1 baby is fine too. Any pose for me works, I'm not really picky on that aspect.

Nobody hear is alergic to sculpting or wing material are they? Nope, no allergies. I REALLY don't want my pony smelling like smoke though. I quit several months ago and just can't stand the smell. I do have 2 dogs however- does anyone have any pet allergies?

Hey - for anyone wanting/needing halloween stuff.....JoAnn's is starting to receive their halloween stuff in today (I asked 1 of my managers after we closed last night)...not sure when it's all going out on the floor though.  I know my store's spring clearance items are just about all gone (finally!), so hopefully the halloween can take it's place.  Just wanted to let everyone know!  Soon soon!!!  :biggrin:

I also have dogs, but not allergies I am aware of other than dust and latex but only prolonged exposure.  I am allergic to apoxie or rather sensative to it, but that's only to the chemical reaction when mixing/curing.  Once it's cured it is no problem at all.

Aww thanks for featuring my pony, JSplit! The other ones are very inspiring, a great selection of painted and sculpted work. ^^

I have two cats myself and no allergies. I dislike the smell of smoke but I can live with it, in my experience the smell usually disappears pretty quickly if the pony is placed with others.

I have year-round allergies too, so honestly nothing is gonna be a big deal for me. No allergic reaction to any pony-making material that I know of.

Definitely not a fan of smoke-smell. Makes it hard for me to breathe.

Yay, good news about Joann's!

I don't have any pet allergies, but I am highly allergic to the smell of cigarettes - double vision, anyone? Marlboro is the worst, though. Must be something they put in there. :huh:

I'm not allergic to any custom-making supplies that I know of! :D

Nichi, you start with a sketch? I don't think I ever have. I go with an idea in my head, jot down some particulars, and go from there.

What method do other peeps use?  :what:

I completely sketch mine out on the computer. I made linearts for myself that are the actual poses, i.e. the G3 diva pose, and I plan out my custom right in that. So I decide on a pose I want my bait in, and plan it out completely.

For example, this is what I did for the 2010 Halloween swap:

Oh, and to answer reyl's question:

Movies:
1. Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Hocus Pocus
3. Harry Potter series - I know it's not strictly Halloween, but I'm a huge HP fan, and it can tie in pretty well
4. Corpse Bride
5. I can't think of anything else right now...I might edit this later

I should mention, I am terrified of The Grudge. Literally terrified, I have cried every time I've watched it.

Monsters/Creatures
1. Witches
2. Vampires
3. Skeletons
4. Ghosts
5. Banshee

I am in to Kiki's delivery service, not really Halloween but still workable. The rest are scary/wouldn't make good customs.

2: What is your favourite monster? Vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghost...
Werewolf is probably my top favorite, but I like different facial poses like a big grin, a pensive face, or a howl.  That huge open snarl doesn't do it for me.  Vampires next but I don't enjoy the huge snake jaw people sometimes give them.

Nichi, you start with a sketch? I don't think I ever have. I go with an idea in my head, jot down some particulars, and go from there.

I do start with a sketch. I usually deviate from it eventually, but it gives me a visual jumping off point of what colors will work well together, how it might look when it comes together. My dad works in construction and he always told me "Measure Twice. Cut Once."  So this is how I incorperate that idea into art.  It's easier to take out the prismacolors and determine two colors should not go together than re-hair a pony and realize that and have to tare the whole thing out. lol. 

I actually did starter sketches for the Peacock Swap of 2010? or was that 2009? , The Steam Punk Swap (around the same time frame I think), and the Cartoon Swap that I made the Rainbow of Light and Darkness for.  My first commissioner sent me a picture of what they wanted.   I'll try to scan some of these sketches and put them up next to the pony they actually turned into so you can see.  Like I said, it usually get's changed by the end, but it does give me a jumping off point.

c)Also I love Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and as Dr Frankenstein.
d) Halloween Town
e)The Halloween that Almost Wasn't (or) The night the Witch saved Halloween
f) (Had to!) The Worst Witch (I love Faruza Balk!)

2.) Frankenstein's creature.  I always thought Dr Frankenstein was a big jerk for that.  I always kind of thought Frankenstein's creature was kind of sweet though.  But then again, I think the same way about WWE's Undertaker and Kain, or as I call them "My Boys".

Time to get caught up...

I'm allergic to cats, dust, and cigarette smoke; however, I do own a cat, and my husband is a smoker (though not inside my house).

My favorite 'Ween-y movies are The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Harry Potter series, The Halloween Tree, The Corpse Bride, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and Hocus Pocus.

My favorite monsters... Ickis, Krum, and Oblina.  ;)

Hocus Pocus, Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Harry Potter movies, 80s greats "Teen Witch"!!!! & Beetlejuice & some 90s Buffy the Vampire Slayer   :biggrin: :P

2: What is your favourite monster? Vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghost...

Post by: BlackCurtains on August 13, 2012, 02:10:38 PM

I don't sketch, it doesn't do any good. I never stick to it. All I work out beforehand is my color scheme. I will doodle design elements though, like symbols, to get a feel for them and whatnot.

I have two kitties and do suffer horribly from allergies :lol: but it's not something that has much to do with ponies, so no worries!

Halloween movies, eh? Hmm. I'm a fan of horror in general so I'm not sure if I have a favorite "Halloween" movie per se.

As far as monsters go... again, if it's creepy or twisted, I'm a fan ;)

I gave up trying to get the mane out of the pony I was prepping - too much glue. I'm using one in the same pose that I had slated for something else and hadn't started yet. I shall continue pulling hair out (and hurting my thumb) later. ^.^

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: Griffin on August 13, 2012, 03:39:33 PM

Oooh, I love Pan's Labyrinth, too! And all Tim Burton movies. Old vampire films like Nosferatu. Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Princess Miyu, Pet Shop of Horrors (as manga at least, I've never watched the anime version). I've never been that much into horror since I prefer scary over gory and most of what I've seen tend to fall into the latter category. :/ Zombie movies are boring but I'm very much enjoying The Walking Dead, that must be the first zombie story I actually like. Well, Zombieland is pretty hilarious.

I guess the MtG pictures I linked some pages ago illustrate my taste in monsters pretty well, and more info is given in my form.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: blackestbird on August 13, 2012, 03:45:25 PM

I like most Tim Burton films too, actually. I love Pan's Labyrinth, but eyeball-hand guy creeps me out immensely. I like horror movies as a general rule, even some of the gory ones [i.e. I also love The Walking Dead], but I have a weak stomach, so in general it probably isn't something I'd want as a pony because I wouldn't wanna see it all the time - I can handle certain movies when I'm in the mood for them, but once it's over, I don't have to see it anymore, if that helps put it into perspective. I think my form covered that.

Wow Blackestbird, that's really neat!

Thank you Kazzellin ^__^ I'm a very very visual person, it really helps me to have it completely planned before I start, maybe with minor changes, because I have a very chaotic brain xD I get ideas and random thoughts too quickly sometimes, and literally can't keep up with myself.

No major allergies here (just the mild nut allergy I mentioned earlier - please don't glue almonds to my pony.)  ;)

What are your five favourite horror or halloween movies?: I'm not a big horror movie fan.  I like Nightmare Before Xmas, Shaun of the Dead, the funnier stuff.  I'm also a huge fan of HP Lovecraft stories.

What is your favourite monster? Vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghost...:  Um, ghosts, Cthulhu, witches.

Nightmare on elm street
House on Haunted Hill
13 Ghosts
1408
The Ring
The Grudge

Movies more for the pony:
Hocus Pocus!!
The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Casper

wow I haven't even picked a bait...ok actually maybe I have...but I haven't got a clue what's happening to the pony yet...pokes partner!  post a few more clues for me!!!  LOL

1: What are your five favourite horror or halloween movies?
Nightmare before christmas
The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
anything with Vampires( Dracula, VanHellsing  not so much twilight)
Frankenstein
Rocky horror picture show
Underworld
Shaun of the Dead( love it)

2: What is your favourite monster? Vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghost...
All of the above...I know that doesn' help does it...I'm especially fancying a little Frankenstein atm but it'a BC thing...(and I promised I'd keep him outta this thread...)

I have alergies to fruit real fresh off the tree fruits but since this is Halloween and we are sending candy treats not real fruit this should not be a real problem LOL!! ;)
I have a cat allergy but I have two cats so I think that's a mout point...I also have a dog....

I was going to say I generally have a tiny sketch pad that I use to draw out the symbols for most ponies so that I kinda know how big it'll be and how best to place it on the pony...

I'm letting my fingers heal abit from the metal window screening I use instead of chicken wire, then I get to play with clay! Which I hope will not crack like the thin layer I added to the back of a baby dragon did.  >_<

Finally sat down to make some sketches and got some neat ideas! I just hope I'm not being too literal with my partner's likes. I mean, I hope they won't look at it and feel like they've seen it already. Well, I still have plenty of time to polish and fine-tune these ideas. :) Anyway, the biggest problem I have now is that I must can't decide on the colours! I keep staring at my B&W sketch, trying to picture different colour combinations, but the body colour especially eludes me. *sigh* Maybe I'll browse some customs made by other people for inspiration...

Oops, didn't answer the questions!

I don't actually like horror films.  I occasionally can't resist a vampire movie.  Around Halloween I like to watch Blood and Chocolate, Interview With a Vampire, Underworld, Hocus Pocus, and most of the cartoon specials like Garfield, Charlie Brown, etc.  I also love Monster High, and anime vampires and such like Vampire Knight and Master of Mosqueton.

My favorite monster type things are werewolves, vampires (pretty or cute), black cats, hrm...cute witches like the ones pictured, too.

If you are working on the pony then you are doing fine. But maybe someone needs to ask Sunnydaze to check in on your partner?  Not only are you making a pony for her, but she should be making one for someone else. If she's not checking in and participating, then.....Well, just maybe someone should check in.

Maybe we should have a list of all the questions on the first post? So we can double check. It's easy to miss something with as fast as people are posting and filling the thread up.

We might not want to directly say stuff like 'my partner hasn't posted.' It gives some info away. It's a huge swap,  but there is a pretty large group that has posted, so it could eliminate certain possibilities if a lot of us say it directly.

If your partner hasn't posted at all, just pm Sunny and ask her to poke some people ;3 It's hard to not have any input on the thread, especially if the form was vague, and Sunny is here to fix that sort of thing as the organizer ^__^

Okay conducting some experiments here... straight on my chosen bait. x) I hope this turns out the way I'm hoping for! Otherwise I need a plan B... i.e. probably sculpting on top of what I'm doing now to cover it in the case this ends up in a disaster. I'm planning to glue paper on my pony. :D  Looking for something like a decoupage effect... I know TGG has used paper for her stunning geisha ponies so why not...

After this I need to make the final decision on the body colour. Either I'm leaving the original colour or giving her a repaint... at the moment the paper I'm using kind of clashes with the body colour but I think the hair colours will help to tie them together. I'd opt for painting her but I guess my partner would prefer this colour... hmm. Decisions, decisions.

I plan on a full night of sculpting. I started yesterday but was cut short and didn't get much done. I'll be experimenting too ^^

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: blackestbird on August 17, 2012, 05:46:27 PM

I got my bait out yesterday. Issues already and I haven't even started xD Nothing serious, just broke the neck plug ring thing, but I was annoyed.  Then, when trying to get it out, I knocked it into the body, and had to fight with the pony and pliers to get it out. xD All is well now though, the bait is an empty canvas and is ready to be given a new life :3

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: Kazzellin on August 17, 2012, 07:47:32 PM

I wouldn't worry too much about it, BlackestBird - I have yet to get the head off a G4 without breaking the thing for turning the head, so I'm suing a G3 instead - I know the head will go one without an issue, even without the neck ring. :)

I am pleased to annouce - that I have not made any progress since the armature went in. :( I blame my work schedule for this. On the plus side, my fingers fell much better! Yay? :silly:

Except for the store meeting Sunday morning, I have a three-day weekend coming up, and I plan to get tons of work done then. I plan to experiment with magnets; we'll see if this pans out! Gotta buy the magnets first, though. XD

Personally I don't like horror movies, and don't really watch anything halloween/scary/horror related, so I can't really give much info on that :/  It's why I like the more cute stuff, like the cute witches enchantress posted.  The scary stuff just bothers me so I avoid a lot of it.

TBH, I don't have the time to go and search through all 40-ish people who are in the swap and who has posted and who hasn't. From what I've seen from those that are posting though, there are quite a few that haven't posted anything, including the person I'm making one for. So, I don't think it's that easy to see who partners are that way. However, it IS easy to see who's making something for someone if they go posting finished customs online either on FB, Photobucket, DA, etc if it's open to the public, so I would advise against that.

I've personally sent a PM to SD to ask my partner a few things, because I still can't get a good idea on what my partner would like..and I haven't even thought of anything. I'm still awaiting a reply...and photo check in is in 2 weeks. *stressed*

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: Griffin on August 18, 2012, 09:34:52 AM

Can you believe it, it actually worked! *happy dance* Now I'm going to lay this pony aside for a while and focus on a commission so I can sculpt both at the same time.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: NoDivision on August 18, 2012, 01:09:50 PM

If my partner does have specific questions, please PM Sunny, as I'm obviously no good at keeping up XD

I did one little pony on a whim and she's done except for hair styling. The main pony is going to be an ordeal.

At the moment, my phone says its 72F, and our high was 74F. It's very pleasant. Low tonight is supposed to be 49F, so I'm debating taking the AC out of my window for the year, but with my luck we'll have another heat wave if i do. XD.

I was able to get the magnets I need today, along with some other fun things for my partner. Progress ensues. :)

I'm sculpting...sure hope this works!  My second try at sculpting.  First time..I made sculpted horns...and they broke off.  Heartbreaking.  Didn't think I'd try it again, but this design will look best sculpted.  The idea is a bit grandiose....hope I can translate it to the pony so it's awesome as it was in my head!

The pony that I was using had already been FBR'd once, and I didn't remove the previous paint job properly. Usually, I'm able to paint over any remaining paint on some of the hard to reach places, but this time, the bits of the old paint stuck out through the new paint job and were very, very visible. I had a new idea that involves a different bait, so I decided, instead of scrubbing the pony again and trying to repaint it, I'm just going to try something new entirely. :)

I did something similar recently and I ended up having to strip her fbr with a very light mix of acetone.  Mistake... really damaged the adhesiveness of the glue.  I had to remove the whole piece and start over because even the small bit ate through the glue like termites through wood.  I don't know if it was the glue I used or what but just a cautionary tale.

   Not really horror movies but I do like Tim Burton's films a lot... like
   Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before
   Christmas etc.

No worries - I went over the join with apoxie sculpt. There were some horrible gaps in some places, so I would have had to anyway. ^.^ The doen side - does apoxie sculpt expire? The one half was fine, the other had this orange-y, funky film over it. Looked like a thin layer of burnt caramel was spread over the top, so I peeled the sides down and used some stuff from underneath it. O_o

I think it does expire... my current batch seemed to be old even when I got it, it cures much faster than my previous batch and has some of that yellowish colour, too. It still works so I've been using it but I'm really looking forward to finishing it off and getting a fresh batch...

Ah, the quandary. Do I put the tail in now and paint around it when the sculpting is done, or so I sculpt the wings, paint a bit, add the tail, and then finish sculpting? Hmmm...

That depends on how you plan on getting the tail in there. I have found that depending on the level of sculpting added to a pony and the parts of the body that it's added too, getting the head on can damage the sculpting, and then parts of the sculpting have to be redone.

But if the sculpting is light and won't be bothered by trying to get the tail in and out, or the head off and on, then it's fine either way.

does apoxie sculpt expire? The one half was fine, the other had this orange-y, funky film over it. Looked like a thin layer of burnt caramel was spread over the top, so I peeled the sides down and used some stuff from underneath it. O_o

It has a shelf life of three years but my last tub did the same thing when there was about ⅓ left. I think it's contamination from Part A (the orange stuff was in Part B, right?) that forms a crust. Or something like that. I had used mine anyway and didn't have any problems, it did seem to set faster though.

The head on-off won't be aproblem, since there's no neck ring to speak about; the scultping is going to go all the way up to the forehead, so I definitely have to put the tail in before I get that far. (Now watch me have a brain toot and forget. XD )

I didn't notice any shorter work time, but then, I didn't use much. So long as the orangey-part is safe to use, I'll probably use it anyway. Thanks, BlackCurtains! ^__^

Welcome back to the land of the living! My husband and I have done that before. Been working so many jobs and hours that we were only getting 4-5 hours of sleep. I'm glad things are getting better for you and you 'll be getting more sleep from now on.   It's better for your health if you can get 6-8 hours a night.

Anyone other than me still struggling since their partner hasn't posted that much during the big discussions?

Update - I'm finished with half of each wing (which makes a whole wing? :lol: ) and I've got various parts of her body covered and wire fitted for her other pieces :biggrin:

Well basically you go to their user lookup and click on the 'show posts'.  Most of this stuff should be fairly recent.

I'm not making much progress guys I cut my hand pretty badly on a stupid exacto knife.

So if I click on member search and find her there is someplace that shows posts?

Oh well. I couldn't figure it out.  But that's ok. I sifted through all 30 pages and my partner has only posted in here once or twice.  It's a good thing I know where I'm going with this pony. :P

Ouch!  That's horrible, Sarah! >.< 

My partner hasn't said much.  I did glean one more tidbit that helped me out, but.....muahaha....if they don't say more about treats they like, they'll be getting tricks instead!

I'm working on sculpting.  This is new for me but I love the idea/design so much that I want desperately to make the pony exactly.  It's pushing my knowledge and skill level, but I want this to be great for my partner.  Started on an extra, too.  Tomorrow my mother, pity her, is taking my ten month old on the move trying to walk/run twins for as much of the day as she can so I can concentrate!   :P

Hey :) I have been away a lot this August, but it's  back to the grind now. I have an idea for my pony but I'm having trouble getting my hands on some apoxy. I M going to have to come up  with a non-sculpted idea.

I think I forgot to mention what treats I like! Licorice, chocolate, peanut buttery candy are all good. I  do avoid dairy. I also like Pocky, dark chocolate, and all things coffee. I like stickers too, especially ones with rainbows or  stars.

I have a dollyhair stash, so if you are needing a colour post on the trade thread... I keep it on watch :)

I've been away for a few days too.  I'm also out of town this weekend.  But I've done the rehair and sculpting on my pony, just have to do the painting.

I'll try and get through the thread a bit later to see any questions I've missed.

Sealing now. The FBR went very nicely, I did things a bit differently than usual. I love how the eyes turned out. <3

Edit: Actually, okay, it didn't go nicely. After I finished sealing it, I saw a LOT of flaws that are unacceptable for a finished pony. I'm going to try again next week... ^^;

I'm surprised how many people are doing sculpting. So cool! Makes me think I'm going to attempt an itty bitty bit myself and make the cutey mark 3D. And right now I gotta get off my hiney and get down to the store for some dye.

I don't think I ever answered the candy question. I like most candy, but nothing with almonds or coconut please. I like Kit kat, Twix, Snickers, Peanutbutter cups, suckers, tootsie rolls, gummis, bottle caps, I'm usually good for almost anything.

I have to put my custom on hold since we're preparing for hurricane Isaac. It's supposed to be here by tomorrow night. Hopefully it'll just dump a lot of rain and we won't lose power or anything. But if I do happen to disappear, that's why. Ugh.

Okay, after that fun adventure in painting, I scrubbed the pony and painted it again. It came out much better this time than the first time, and I have it sealed and ready to be rerooted! :) I already ordered the hair from Dollyhair, so I'm looking forward to that arriving!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative and post post post!!!
Post by: blackestbird on August 26, 2012, 09:40:24 AM

I started the FBR last night. I ordered hair 2 weeks ago, but it hasn't gotten here yet. Hopefully this week - I ordered during the delay, but if it isn't here by mid-week I'm probably gonna be emailing Tina. Has anyone ordered hair this month and gotten it yet?

I hope y'all dealing with the hurricane are ok! :heart:

Tried to bump, but it just merged my posts.

Update on the dollyhair order: I got tracking info today so I should have my hair this week or beginning of next week at the latest. Right on time actually, outside of the stated delay of 1-2 weeks. Took exactly 2 weeks - I placed the order August 13, it was ready to ship yesterday.

I've been waiting on mine quite a while too, but the site says to expect delays so I am not too worried yet. Rehairing is usually the last thing I do so I don't feel the pressure yet. I hope I ordered enough.

Yeah I knew about the delay too, wasn't quite sure how the weeks were being counted though so was getting a little nervous - more that I would've contacted her after this week though. I was just wondering if anyone had received orders since the delay message was put up, but now I have tracking info and everything so all is well - I have other parts to work on while I wait. I get nervous about if I ordered enough too though ;D

Because we can and it's fun to see the final result? :lookround:

Edit: I think I'm going to have to go in a different direction then what I had originally planned. The feathers I'm adding don't like sticking to the armature, and putting the ones in on the bottom to secure the clay messes up the ones on top. :huh: I'm not sure I'll be able to finish what I orignally had in mind, so I'm going to start working on a dialed-down version instead. :work:

And to top all of this off, I had to go and catch cold last night. :( *makes a thermos of tea to take to the workshop with her*

I decided that the front bone structute of the wings was too thick and took it off last night. I think I'll try what LoveLauraLand did for some of her wings. :huh:

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather, Kazzellin :C

My hair will be here today based on my tracking - I want to get my rehair done before I do the eyes/symbols this time, because of how I play on styling the hair - I don't wanna risk ruining any of the detail paint, even though I'd be sealing it first. I wanna get the hair in and styled before I do the rest just to be on the safe side since my sealers are water-based. Plus I think I'm gonna have to be a little rough putting my pony back together, so I'm just gonna get the hair in and put her back together before the detail paint is done. I'm rambling lol, here's some progress from me though, I've been a bit quiet lately.

I hope those that have dealt with the hurricane are ok. We had some rough storms here over the weekend and lost power intermittently for a couple of days, I can only imagine what y'all may have been dealing with :heart:

You guys continue to amaze me!!!  i loved getting all the check-ins but a few of you still haven't!!!  I didn't require pics just a generalization of where you are at with your custom.

Keep them coming!

it looks so awesome, it will be hard parting with it! but I have a feeling my partner is going to love it as much as I do since we have similar interests!

I had the same thing happen to me with extras... I tried buying some candy bars for every partner for every swap I was in, and ate almost all of them.  :blush:

Also, partner, what kind of hair styles do you like on a pony? :)

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: RedLynx on September 08, 2012, 06:22:03 PM

Personally, I love long hair.  Some of the fancy knots are pretty, too.  I also like stylish mohawks with bangs or hair draping over the eyes.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: BlackCurtains on September 08, 2012, 06:52:09 PM

I'm about to start sculpting again, but man it's been a long day. I at least want to start on one piece of her... thing. Yeah. Yay for vagueness! I got a couple of extras for my partner yesterday too ^.^ No candy yet though.

Hairstyles! I'm not picky really. I'm terrible at styling hair myself so any type of style impresses me XD

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: NichiTsukinoko on September 08, 2012, 06:59:26 PM

I love long hair, medium hair.  If you are doing a g1 I love normal g1 pony length hair.  I'm fine with hairstyles if it adds to the pony or is part of the design.  But it doesn't have to be styled. I love ringlettes. those are awesome. I love twist braids. 

I do not like mohawks. I do not like dreadlocks. I do not like spikey hair.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: Sarahlacewing on September 08, 2012, 07:39:47 PM

Honestly I like shorter hairstyles. They are easier to display and easier to manage. So generally an up do or a shorter style work for me. But I am not picky about it. If long hair works for the design that is great I just probably won't style it myself.

Any hair style that suits the pony is fine with me!
And im the same with candy extras, I usually have to buy them 3 or 4 times and eat them all, then have to make a special trip just before posting, an put em in and tape it up. that way my partner will actually get them! he he

I will add some halloween candy to my pony, if I can get hold of any soon enough, I don't know if the shops in england will be selling it in time, as halloween is not as big here :-(

Christmas on the other hand, that's in shops now ;-/

I hope my swap partner is american, I love American candy, I ADORE white chocolate reeses :)


Post Merge: September 10, 2012, 02:48:01 PM

Also is anyone else having MAJOR confidence drop??
This is not my first custom, but my first swap and I am SOOO stressed out that my pony won't be good enough and my swap partner will be dissapointed, it doesn't help that I keep looking at people's threads in the custom section and I'm like "why don't mine come out like that!!" :-(

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: kaoskat on September 10, 2012, 02:56:59 PM

I think we all go through that in swaps to some degree. I know I always get super nervous and stress and I've been in lots of swaps. It's always a bit scary to send of a pony and wait to see if it's well received. Most times though the customs community is wonderfully supportive and as long as you do your very best, your pony will be loved. Remember, your host has done her best to pair you with someone of like level so things should be fine.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on September 10, 2012, 04:20:44 PM

Finished my pony today! I decided that I'm going to keep her hair in her straight style... It's really lovely like that, and I don't really want to change it. It's really long, so my partner can style it however she wants.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: RedLynx on September 10, 2012, 06:12:13 PM

I feel the same way.  I am seriously nervous about my pony for thus swap.  Very stressed!

For the life of me I can't get the eyes right.
I really hope my partner likes their pony, aside from the eyes shes's looking good :3

Post by: Saja on September 10, 2012, 07:01:00 PM

Im more nervous than usual for this swap. mostly due to lack of info on parnters form etc, and just going on whats in my head, I like it, but am worried partner wont...
BUT am doing my best, and thats all I can really do!
I feel your pain on the eyes Whoa1234, im sure youll get it soon!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: blackestbird on September 10, 2012, 10:55:26 PM

The hairstyle question:

Honestly, whatever works. I think even mohawks are cute, depending on the whole style of the pony. In general I probably wouldn't prefer a mohawk-look, but if it suits the design, go for it. Long and straight, bouncy curls, pinned and styled...I'm easy to please on that front. If it fits the pony's design, I'll probably like the hair no matter how it's styled.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: Prismatic on September 10, 2012, 11:02:14 PM

I'm not picky about hairstyles, really.  I do like straight styles over curly, but that in no way means I'm against curly.  I do prefer brushable hair, over sculpted, and most yarn hair (unless it's perfume puff style, I love that lol)

I rarely like my eyes, I think I repaint them at least twice on every pony XD  I try to get them close, and even if they look a bit off, I let it go.  I'm usually more picky than anyone else who sees it. :P

I'm right there with ya chicka! Actually, I have to do my sculpting in parts, because it keeps drying out before I can get it done and then it slides around with the softer parts. Suuucks. Making some improvement though! And I just got some new tools for this little project today! Hope it comes out like I'm picturing it!

Post by: Elfpony on September 12, 2012, 04:51:34 PM

I think we all go through swaps where we're nervous that our partner won't like what we send.  I'm a bit nervous myself this time around.  But as others have said, so long as you've done your best on the custom, I'm sure your partner will be happy with it.

As for the hair style, I'm not picky either, I like pretty much anything.

I think I am finally finished with all the sculpting. So glad too since I'm itching to start painting. Really in love with the color palette (you have great taste, partner!) and I can't wait to see it in action, so to speak. I've also decided on a symbol ^^

Hair done
scultping done
first coat of paint done

just need to do a couple more layers of paint, and then add the fine detail and I'm done :-)

I also have to stop eating my partner's candy.  :P

Super congrats to all expecting mommies!

Pony status: Need to paint the cutie mark, then I can get the tail in. Planning on doing that this weekend. So close to being done! This poor Halloween pony had to be on the backburner a few times for other pony projects that had to be done sooner. But now she's the only one not finished so I am pushing through to the end!

Good luck on finishing everyone!

I'm finally making some progress with my pony again. I finally made the decision to do an FBR and after one coat I can say it was a good idea, somehow the new body colour ties the whole design together. Now I can only hope my partner likes it, I guess I took some risks with the colours... Well, they can always send the pony back to me if they're not happy, I am loving how it's turning out. :lol:

Wish I could answer that, but I don't divulge in too much of sweets. But, I do know that we have Nestle and Haribo. Best little gummy bears ever!

More stuff is becoming available, at least on bases for military personnel. Even the Milka candy and more Marzipan too. To my knowledge, I've only seen the Haribo gummy bears here in the US..not the other kinds, which I wouldn't mind trying new things myself. If I don't like it, my partial German man would love it. He just loooooves Marzipan and Haribo! Lol.

Haribo and Nestle- Absolutely.  In fact where I live there are a lot of import places. 

*There is a German deli down the street from dad that has imported candies from europe. Mostly Germany.
*A local mall has a store that specializes in Bavarian Chocolates.
*another local mall has a Sweet Factory that has German Raspberries, Harribo and American Gummibears, and Sweedish fish, both assorted, and red.
*That same mall has an extension that has a Cost Plus Imports that carries all sorts of imports including candies from around the world, and also coffees, teas, and drinking chocolates.

Of course that's just where I live in Portland, OR though.  Not all states have the same resources as far as retail stores and imports.

Post by: Sarahlacewing on September 28, 2012, 07:27:34 AM

Do you guys have those little chocolate candies with a toy inside?  They do not permit that stuff here in the states but I loved it when I was a kid.

Biting my tongue on the Kinder egg thing.  Really want to make s snarky comment because I love them and the ban is dumb.  It's for safety.  Choking hazard.     

Ahem...I can find lots of European treats....but very notably absent are chocolate Smarties and Galaxy products like Minstrels.  Every now and then I find straight up Galaxy bars...but never Minstrels.  Probably misspelling that. X.x Oh!  Also some flavors aren't big here.  Black currant hard candies, mmm!

I still really want to hear more about what my partner likes yo snack on. :(

Yeah I can't get any imported candies where I live. Just American stuff. I too love Kinder eggs. If my partner is international, I'd love anything that I can't get here ^^ I really especially love chocolate, but I'm not picky about sweets....just don't send me the type of candy that has real bugs in it lol!

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! Get creative!! check-ins are here!!
Post by: TimeDance on September 28, 2012, 10:22:54 AM

Wow, the kinder egg ban must be recent. I swear I've seen them in the stores not too long ago in international markets. I'm surprised they were on the radars enough to get banned for anything.

Got some more painting done last night, she still needs her eyes finished and a few more coats on the sculpted details. I realized I need to hurry if I want to ship her before the 12th... Then again, my international packages haven't usually taken more than 10 days to arrive so she should be on time for the big day. But still, better safe than sorry...

Augh, I have no idea how I'm going to pack her up, she has some really delicate sculpting. :S

Oh me too! I have terrible painting and sculpting posture.  At least you know you are in good company.

Well I've once again had to make some revisions to my intended design, but I think that It will work out well still. I just need to put the pony in the oven and then I can start painting.  And then I'll be done.

Finished up the pony for the most part this weekend. Washed her hair last night. Just need to trim the tips and then fix it up. Now I gotta search for a proper sized box and get it packed with all the different stuff I've been gathering.

I will probably send it out in the mail this weekend to get it done. October is so busy for me. I'm so happy I could get this girl done in time.

Sunny, did you want a picture of the finished pony before we ship?

Not necessary but i won't turn any down! :)  I loves getting pics ...  but I do want delivery confirmation with tracking numbers or post office item info. You guys are all being tracked in the infamous spread sheet to help me link all the completed ponies and shipping and receiving info.

We've had one member go MIA which is disheartening but have I  been working with jupi and I think we have a solution worked out already.  I will keep all of you informed if we have any other problems as some of you have offered to make replacement ponies if it should come to that.  but THANKFULLY we had 43/44 people check at the required time. so we are doing exceptionally well!

I want to thank ALL OF YOU  for being so diligent and putting your time and energy in to this swap!  I LOVE you all!

I'm finishing up on my special part I mentioned to you, but the drying process takes about 72hrs and almost a week to fully cure. So, it'll be ready to go by deadline! :D

*edit*

Forgot to mention, but I'm not allergic to anything. I'm not a fan of much chocolate unless it's Reeses (love those pumpkins) or Butterfingers. :P

I am hoping to finish today and ship tomorrow.  I am worried this baby is going to come early so I really really want to get it done as quickly as I can.

One more sculting session tonight, on the pony at least. I'm getting there! luckily the painting is super easy on this one once the sculpting is done. Then I have a base to decorate. But it's getting there!

Post by: Griffin on October 04, 2012, 07:10:03 AM

Rehairing... I hope I have enough hair! I have some extra Black Magick I can throw in if needed, it's cut shorter but I can always make plugs with knots at the end instead of the middle... if I run out of the proper length hanks of my darker colours, as I don't want to use too much of the highlight colour either, even though I do have a full hank of that.

I was going to go and grab some extras today but it started to pour like crazy, my boots did not stand up against the water and I had a library book with me that was in danger of getting wet so I gave up and returned home. :D

I hope we can open an exclusive brag thread where everyone can post pics of the ponies they got (when ponies start shipping out) I want to see everyone's ponies! I love Halloween ponies and it sounds like some of the ponies you guys are working on are going to be amazing! I don't want to miss seeing a single one!

This is a great idea, also because it would be great to see all the lovely extras people find in their boxes! I assume the artists will show off their ponies individually as usual and there's going to be links to everyone's creations in the original post of this thread? But the senders rarely take pics of the treats and such so a brag thread sounds like fun.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 8 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: Griffin on October 05, 2012, 02:09:40 AM

Oh no, NoDi! :( Were you able to fix it?


Just curled my pony's hair, that was quite an operation. Had to tell my BF to hold her head so I could pull the hair tight and wrap it neatly around the curlers... Normally I just squeeze the pony between my knees but I decided to try curling before I glue her head back on, some of the sculpting might've broken if I had tried to cram the curlers between the sculpting and her neck.

I hope the curls turn out okay this time, my last trial (the hedgehog baby pony) failed miserably. I should stick to loose curls, they're much easier to do than neat straw curls. :P

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 8 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: NoDivision on October 05, 2012, 05:38:36 AM

I stayed up and resculpted, and it seems to be holding up for now... oof.

Often if I'm doing curls or pin curling hair I use a donor body to hold onto the head so I don't worry about damaging anything, but that only works in the neck plug was intact.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 8 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: Sarahlacewing on October 05, 2012, 07:02:05 AM

I got her all rehaired, but 3 hanks wasn't enough.  I am waiting on more in the mail.  So I should be able to post as soon as it arrives and I can get the tail in. :) Everything else should be all set as long as the tail insertion doesn't shift anything around.

Mailed off my pony yesterday. The post office lady reeeeeally wanted to talk, it was so funny. I was wearing my corset and she asked if I was going to the ren faire. I was like, "lady, you would /know/ if I was going to the ren faire." (because I am decked out in full costume)

I really hope my partner likes their pony! It was so hard to let it go!

I had the worst day yesterday.  :cry:  Worst part was that my hubby was that I dropped my sculpted pony and broke it into pieces.  I was a wreck over it.  Then, I had a hot bath, tied my hair back (that's my serious) and started again.  So I cleaned and re-prepped the bait and while waiting for my paint to dry, started on another pony as a plan B.  I leave for vacation today....and I think I'll be taking homework.  So sad about my work, proud of my recovery, though.

I am happy with the custom I was working on at the photo check in, but just don't feel of goes with my partner's preferences. So I've moved back to the one I started with. Instead of clay feathers, I'm going to try actual ones. Well, craft store ones, anyway. U think this'll work... Progress is good, anyway. :)

*moves the cat off her keyboard* Edit: I am now waiting for some little chicken toes to dry before I continue with the paint job. ^__^

Have you checked thier activity to make sure they've been on? Does it say delivered like they left it at the house or is it possible it's still waiting for them at the post office? I hate it when things like that happen because one what if the package got lost and two what if they didn't like it. It's happen to me before so I feel your pain. Guessing and waiting to hear makes a customizer batty.  It's hard not to worry. :)

I'm packing my pony and I just realized there's no way I can keep this under 500g... so shipping will cost a fortune. x_O But I don't want to leave anything out and I'm sure it's worth it, I've been spoiled in other swaps (including the Halloween swap two years back :heart: ) so I don't mind if I have to spend some more on the postages this time.

Will be shipping tomorrow~

I've run into a tiny problem. It's minor, something I'll be able to fix quickly, but I have extra drying time I didn't expect to need now, so I don't think I'll be able to ship before the deadline like I had wanted. Mine will absolutely be ready by Friday, but I'm not so sure she'll be ready before then anymore. I expected her ready tomorrow, but messed a tiny thing up; but without it, my custom just doesn't feel complete. Sorry!  :sad:

Post Merge: October 08, 2012, 10:48:35 PM

If you are shipping within 1-2 days of the suggested ship date everything should be fine please don't worry everybody!
Those shipping within their own region or country can get away with a few more days but please don't push it guys!  ;)

I am also sorry to hear that people have been having issues and problems!  I have seen such cool concepts and completed ponies!
I think everybodies partners are in for really awesome ponies!

I have had a few struggles myself.....couldn't decide on a bait didn't get inspired on a design concept until late...but she will be ready to go!  got tons of fun little things to go in the package and and great candy bits since it's HALLOWEEN can't wait to ship!!

I'm so excited for these to start arriving!!!

My baby is due on the 31st but I think she will come early.  If I randomly drop off the world please don't be alarmed.  Depending on when she is born and when the pony arrives it may sit at my house a while before I am able to get it and open it.  If it seems like I have poofed, but you know it was delivered don't feel like you have to wait on me to post your showcase pictures. ^^

Well I didn't make it to the post office today. this pregnancy has been kind of hard on me up to this point, as far as severe fatigue. I'm hoping to get her shipped out before I go to the doctor tomorrow, though. If all goes according to plan.

Painting is completely done, except for the eyes and cuties. I'm waiting for the one wing to dry, then I'll do the other, put in the tail and attach her head. :) Will need to trim a bit, I'm sure, but so far the experiment goes quite well. :)

Edit: Cutie mark is done, and eyes are partly done. :)

Doing a slight directional change for the main body if the pony. :) Her painted parts have all been sealed twice, and her eyes are done with one layer of sealer. I'm going to finish the body and head before I put in any hair, though. :) Should finish on time for shipping with no troubles! :D

I'm going to have to ship Monday, I think. She totally done, her hair is drying right now, in fact - but I need to check for accidental damage that might have happened when doing said hair, and im working tomorrow when the post is open. Please forgive me! :yikes:

I am pretty terrified about shipping this pony. I'm going to have to use a huge box so I can fit in all of the padding that I'm sure I will need to make myself feel okay about sending it XD

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 2 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on October 12, 2012, 11:02:44 AM

I shipped it! :D According to the delivery confirmation, it should get there tomorrow, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Just got back from the post office! Estimated arrival 3-5 days. It was too heavy for first class.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 2 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: Prismatic on October 12, 2012, 01:25:18 PM

To the partner shipping to me: I have my new address, I sent it to sunny but she hasn't read it yet.  If you haven't shipped yet, she can get it to you.  If you have, hopefully it will be forwarded.  If you get it back, I will pay to re-ship it, it's my own fault if it goes back to you >_<

To my partner:  I have your pony packed away in a moving box, and I'm currently looking for it.  It will most likely be on it's way on Monday, sorry for the delay T.T

My move took a lot longer than I expected, my apartment complex dragged their feet for 4 days with getting back to us, we had to live out of a duffel bag in various motels while our stuff sat in the moving truck.  We're all moved in now, tho :)

Yay!  My pony arrived with Ambarjul!  Sorry I've been basically offline for over a week, but here is the thread for her: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,312200.new.html#new

I just had a panic moment where I couldn't find the pictures until I realized I haven't uploaded them yet!  Oy, it's been quite the crazy week for me and my brain is fried!  I'm kinda glad the custom I'm receiving hasn't arrived yet, because I haven't had time to properly anticipate it yet.  :P  I'm also getting it as a birthday gift - my birthday's also October 24th.  :)

Pony is complete with a last minute extra to top it off and is being shipped first thing in the AM when my S/O gets off work. It's so super awesome I wanted to keep it so much! XD

Hope you love it partner! You should get it by Tuesday at the latest..my guess is Monday though.

Pony is 100% done and is being shipped out tomorrow. Sorry I'm a couple days late on that but this pregnancy has really knocked me for a loop as far as energy goes. Really sorry about that. On the plus side, I like how the pony turned out. I hope my partner will too.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! 2 days till shipping!!!!
Post by: PrincessDiana1982 on October 13, 2012, 08:41:27 AM

Yikes.  So...I haven't been on here in a while...okay, like 2 weeks maybe?  I missed that we could start shipping early....not like I could have(!), but I would have tried my best to finish her faster & sooner!

Alright, so here's what happening with me:  I decided to start a 2nd job like 3 weeks ago....what a mistake that was!!!  I had to work both jobs in 1 day, & it totally pooped me out!  So time for the pony was just not happening, sadly.  And then I also had to work for my husband too, & that was more time away from the pony!!  I ended up quitting the 2nd job already (for a bunch of reasons!), & I've had some more time for the pony, thankfully!  But...she isn't done yet.  I had some set backs with her, but now I hope to have her completely done today....& shipped on Monday.  So sorry to my partner for the later ship, but life has just been a mess over here!  I promise she will be there soon!!!!

I got my pony from Black Curtains!!!  And she's FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!  OMG, the sculpting!!!  The painting!!!  I almost fainted!!!  She's already down in the Pony Room because there was no way I was taking chances with her and my 5 cats!

Also, I got Reese's peanut butter pumpkins!  These are my absolute favourite candy, but we only get them in Canada at Easter (as eggs, obviously.)  So this is most unexpected and welcome.  I'm trying to be good and not eat them before dinner.  :P

My box is on it's way.  So sorry I mailed it late!  I feel terrible!  Recovering from breaking my pony the day before going on vacation has been a nightmare!  On the positive side of things, I started over and got my partner a few things at Disney World!   Hope you'll be happy, partner.  Now comes the nailbiting wait!

That would be me! And I know I shoved a note in there but it was just a bit of folded in half list paper so it probably got lost. No biggie! I'll get the pony pics posted! I'm glad you liked everything!

According to the Arena swap rules, all participants leave feedback for their partners. :)

Augh, why isn't my package getting there already? I keep checking the website for tracking info but there has been no updates after the 13th. :(

Mine should have arrived yesterday, but the tracking info hasn't updated. I'm getting nervous about it getting "lost" when it's out for delivery like my mermaid swap custom from years ago.

Title: Re: Halloween swap time! shipping and arriving!!!!!
Post by: Sarahlacewing on October 21, 2012, 07:50:10 AM

Sometimes they don't scan them or the code gets damaged. We recently had rain  my post sometimes cant get wet things to scan. Lately I feel like the usps delivery conf is kind a joke.  Half the time it gets there before tracking updates lol.

mine too! Maybe our packages are hanging out. I think mine just hasn't been scanned at it's next stop, though, because it says it was processed through the sort facility, so it must be on the way somewhere.

Aww yay I am SO happy you like her! :heart: You're welcome! I really enjoyed making her for you! When I saw you mention fairies/pixies, I knew I wanted to do some sort of candy pixie pony for you :D Did her wings survive the trip? I was so worried, I had intended on making them removable but that didn't work out so I had to ship them attached.

Oh good! Gosh, I'm so glad to hear that, I was seriously so nervous this past week and a half. I had the wings come apart a bit when I was attaching them to the pony and had to fix them, so I was really worried they might get damaged on their journey to you, so I'm very happy to hear that she arrived safe and sound! Thanks! :heart: I'm so so so happy that you like her, I really had fun planning her out and bringing her all together for you ^^ Oh those are candy corn too, but they're not 'original' flavor, those ones are caramel-apple flavored! :D Glad to hear you're enjoying the goodies too, especially the candy corn since you mentioned you don't get that over there! :heart:

Here are the ponies from both myself and SnuzzleShiloh since we had each other.  I still need to leave feedback. I'll go do that now!

So glad everybody has gotten some of the coolest ponies I've seen in a Halloween swap.

I have to post mine too but I haven't even had time to upload the pics.  I was mad that it rained everyday I wanted to get pics outside so I had to shoot inside... :(

If my box doesn't arrive to my partner  today I'm going to be very disapointed because it won't have arrived in the timeline that the post office promised me :\

For boxes not confirmed I'll be chasing them down today!  Mail coming into Canada has been seriously slow going.  But fret not, there is still a week until Halloween proper.

I received my pony from NichiTsukino yesterday, and I LOVE HER <3  Thank you :)  The ghost is so awesome!  And the hair colors are so pretty! (I think it got here the day before tho, I didn't check that day and a slip was in my box to get it from the office when I checked my mail yesterday)

I'm sorry about the address thing too, but it looks like they were able to forward it to my new address without returning it, it had one of those yellow new address stickers on it.  I had given them my new address, but was worried they wouldn't do it with a package. 

The candy corn was awesome, too!  I have no idea why I like the stuff so much, but I just do lol.

And sunny, I'll get my pony up today :3  I haven't found the cord, but I'll try to get them onto my photobucket with my phone, it just takes a bit XD

Just checked the mail and found such a cute swap box! Omg I hope you got pics, because they're adorable - especially the little baby, OMG! And the little Halloween scene! :lovey: Thank you so so much, they're so cute, and I love my goodies too! :heart:

So Glad they made it to you! I've posted pics and will PM you one of just the scene when it finishes getting uploaded. This darn hotel has some seriously slow internet connections!

I'm glad you got it.  They actually started to send it back to me, but when it arrived in LA, LA post office saw the forward, which hadn't been processed by the time it reached San Diego, and so they started forwarding it.

I kept tabs on it and made several dozen phone calls to make sure it didn't just disappear in the mail system, which it almost did.

Anyway, I'll go post a thread for it!

That's the link to the thread for the pony I made for Prismatic. :)

I'm still waiting for my pony to arrive too.  I have been told that my partner's dog ate the pony that they were making for me, so they had to start over and make a new one.

Your partner has been tracking and hopefully with the info i pm'd you you may be able to track it before it leaves the UK.

My parcel arrived today ! ! !

According to the postman it's been...

Held at customs (and opened apparantly)

Then sent to the wrong address but the people were nice enough to return it  :lol:

It was then apparently sent to me but returned because I wasn't in  :huh: yet no letter or note or card was left to say a delivery was attempted,

And it's then been sitting in the post office awaiting collection, I managed to get in touch just as it was about to be shipped home to america and intercepted it.... arrived today with a very apologetic postman and a very bashed up box  :shocked:

But when I opened it OH MY GOD

BEST PONIES EVER ! ! !

Redlynx you have done AMAZING !! !  and the candy and extras are AWESOME (shoo be do) ! ! ! ! all my favorites it's fantastic, Well worth the wait and more ! ! Even the wrapping paper was brilliant !

Oh and don't worry, I LOVE oogie boogie, I am a nightmare fanatic and I am going to post some pics for you later x x x

Please send me your address you are firmly on my Christmas card list  :biggrin:

Oh my gosh!  Finally!!!!!!  I've been stressing so badly over this box and it's AWOL status!  I've been getting up throughout the night and staring at tracking, whining about shipping and customs to friends and anyone who would listen ( pooooor, poor, Sunny!), and just generally being a zombie walking around going 'booooox'.  This has never happened to me. Everything that could go wrong did from the start.  Ugh! I'm so glad you caught it in time before they shipped it back.  Dunno if I could have parted with Tearwolf a second time! :)

Phew.  This a huge weight of my mind!  I can now move in peace!  I had actually given up and started s new box for you. X.x So sorry it didn't make it for Halloween!  Grrrr!  How dare they open and mess up my box!  I hope they didn't! damage anything!  Ponies especially!  Ahem.  Err, anyway, so glad you have the box now and I'm glad you like everything!

MINE *grabby hands* Tear wolf is awesome, Love her hair!

No they didn't mess anything up at all, they were probably seeing if it was contraband :D

I know it was customs and not whoever received it, as it had the customs / royal mail tape all over it!

Everything is awesome, do you want to go ahead and post pics? And I'll be adding some later xx

if you have the pictures saved either on the camera/phone/ or computer you can upload them to imgur.com. They even have a phone app. They work similar to photobucket before photobucket became delusional and thought it was part of social networking.
