Those poor gen two ponies !

The one with the rainbow at least has some artistic intent. Meh. Obviously done by a child. I get more upset when adults think they can customize and make something horrible.

Because the only people who are allowed to attempt something are the next Van Gogh right?

I'm sure even the most celebrated customizers had to work on their craft and made mistakes along the way before they learned to create the amazing works of art you see today.

Even famous artistic people started off by playing sour notes,  and drew nonsensical scribbles, and wrote flawed stories. They didn't automatically create amazing works, the first or third or tenth time.

Yeah but they practiced on cheap stuff first. You don't buy a canvas and frame when you're just learning to paint.

Besides, I said adults that think they can customize. Not people actually trying to learn, but think they already know everything and make crap anyway. You can't give them advice because they think they don't need it.

Are these ponies for sale somewhere? Because they really look like candidates for Shaz's Home for Rescue Ponies....

It reminds me of a carbootsale once, where there was a box of toys that were covered in...I don't know how much ink, paint, whatever. There were G4 toys in there as well. And then that one G1 Sugar Sweet...

A lot of the ponies were scribbled over and hair cut and paint in the hair. It's a thin line between kids being creative or just wrecking their toys and not taking care of their property. The ones I saw in that box that day were mostly the former. Although they probably gave the kids enjoyment, the idea they could just then be sold at carboot like they were fine was...a bit odd.

Mind you Sugar Sweet did survive her experience. I was going to sell her originally but in the end I couldn't. She's still here.
This thread shows her before and after, giving some idea. It was just lucky of all of them she wasn't scribbled up.

Agreed, there's definitely a difference when it comes to how much respect the artist has for their materials and canvas.
