Title: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: WeepingPiano on October 19, 2012, 11:43:13 AM: I am really thinking that I would like to host a swap, so I am putting this feeler out to see in anyone else likes this theme before I sumbit the idea to the mods.

There could be a couple of options:

A ponysona dressed in renaissance/mdieval clothing. (gypsy, peasant, royalty, scottish etc.)
or
A pony designed from scratch based on that time frame.

(or both, depending on what your preference is)

Sign-ups could start early December and the shipping date be in early March?

What do y'all think?

Post by: RedLynx on October 19, 2012, 03:07:16 PM: I love Ren Faires! Dunno how to sculpt clothes... X.x I better start practicing! Maybe you could let it include other things found at the Faires? Turkey legs, weapons, steins, cute shoulder pets, belly dancers, and chain mail come to mind? Oh or jousting! Face painting! Jesters? Flower headbands! Sorry, over excited. I'll shush!

Right! It wouldn't have to be a costume! It could be any of those things in pony form! or on a pony!

Post by: elvenwine26 on October 19, 2012, 05:03:07 PM: For some reason a TAF pony with turkey legs and beer tankards comes to mind. :3 Cute idea. I look forward to seeing how this works out for you.

Post by: Sarahlacewing on October 19, 2012, 05:12:39 PM: I love to do tiny chain mail. It is an obsession of mine. :dribble:

Post by: January Joy on October 19, 2012, 06:02:32 PM: I would be interested, but I have to do some trades and get positive feedback first. :)I would love to make a Renaissance royalty custom!

Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: Jahlila on October 20, 2012, 01:25:36 AM: Hmmm... It's so tempting, but I've never done a custom swap... I might be interested. I'll have to think it over a little bit more. I do absolutely love the Renaissance Faire!
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: bagheera86 on October 20, 2012, 01:31:50 AM: what about end of march, early april, since christmas will get crazy for everyone and then they'll be all this easter madness?
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler

Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: MoonHawke on October 21, 2012, 03:40:50 PM: I want to start this swap now! >_<

So many ideas going through my head...
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: WeepingPiano on October 21, 2012, 04:38:43 PM: Maybe we could make the time frame a little longer to give people time to work around the holidays?

Yes please, and could we have some picture refs of ponies already done up? Just so I have the right idea ^_^;
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: WeepingPiano on October 21, 2012, 05:42:23 PM: I can supply pictures of the style of clothes, items, and the period in general, but I cannot think of any ponies off the top of my head.

Anyone who does have some in mind please feel free!

Post by: tsukikakushi on October 21, 2012, 07:45:26 PM: Heck yeah! As long as the swap is newbish friendly, I'd be in. I just don't have much activity over here on the arena, so feedback for swaps tends to be an issue for me. Unless you'd accept TP feedback/refrences, then I'd definatly be in!
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: Okami_Amaterasu on October 22, 2012, 03:12:28 AM: Yes, is a great idea^^.
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: Maniah on October 22, 2012, 04:59:42 AM: Even though I cant join and would love to, I'll show you the pony I finished for the Masquerade swap, which I based off of Renaissance era masquerade stuff.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

More pics available here: http://custompony.tumblr.com/post/32324821707/bugle-attending-the-masquerade-ball-as-a-magpie

I wish I had done more detail on the dress, but patterns and detail are my weak point. I really have to push myself hard in that area.

I'm curious as to how many of the people that voted 'Yes if time allows' are filled up on other swaps right now.

Being a newbie to custom swaps, I guess I feel like everyone is okay with taking more time to work on this swap. So I was just wondering if we were waiting on others to finish up swaps before we get the ball rolling.

Post by: MoonHawke on October 27, 2012, 05:53:25 AM: Yum yum. The Ren Faire where I'm from finished up the end of September. :( I always wish it lasted longer, but my wallet sure doesn't. This year was actually the first time I had a turkey leg. It was tasty!!
Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: Malancaiwen on October 28, 2012, 04:48:32 AM: I'd love to! But I'm already in the Dr Who swap and waiting for 2 christmas swap reaching my limit of 3.

I'll have to wait and see what everyone does!

Post by: WeepingPiano on November 03, 2012, 04:14:49 PM: I submitted this for approval.

Though, if it does not get approved, I would love to do private swaps with y'all! And it would be a great way for the newer members that were interested to get a little feedback :)

Anyway, in the interum, is anyone interested in a private swap :D ?

But not helpful for those of us that want to sign up for a new swap!

Title: Re: Renaissance Faire Swap feeler
Post by: MoonHawke on November 10, 2012, 08:11:16 PM: Is very tempting, weeping. :biggrin:

But i think i'll sit on it a few more days, since the mods are probably tied up with the holiday swap right now.

Post by: Tribble79 on December 07, 2012, 06:21:03 PM: hmmm... On the handy dandy Swap Listings it has the Renaissance Swap listed as taking sign ups 12-5 thorough 12-13 - but it brings you to this thread....
