Good afternoon, everypony!

Hello!


I'm Joe.  I'm a male, 19 year old brony currently attending the Rochester Institute of Technology in upstate NY.  I've been a brony for a little under a month, and in that time I've become completely enamored in all things pony. 


I'm not much of a collector of anything, and that includes ponies.  The main reason I'm here is that I'm amazed at the customs that you do, and I'm interested in trying my hand at them.  After epic failing at creating a show-accurate Rainbow Dash in several regards, I realized that it would be really beneficial for me to get some advice from the people who know best! 


While I'm certainly not the most creative person, customizing ponies appeals to me because of the technical and intricate nature of the art, especially the manes and tails.  And if I want to do something, I'll get it done, one way or another!


Hope to see you around!


PS.  Quick question: I tried to browse around the forums while writing this post, and I'm having trouble accessing any other forum!  Is that just an enforcement of the 'make an intro post first' rule, or am I missing something?

Welcome, now that you made an intro you should be able to see the rest of the forums. Have a look around our customs forum, I am sure I will see you around there as I am a regular.

Welcome fellow brony! It'll be hard to hang out around here without getting sucked into collecting ponies yourself. =) Good luck with the customs!
