Show me some alternate re-hairs - Thread II

[SparklersOasis]

I think a Flickr account would be great, and I'd love to help any way I can. . . but I'm going to be limited due to a interstate move that's likely going to be happening this spring.  Gorgeous rehairs, Saja!

I would siggest simply making a group, instead of an account. That way everyone can easily contribute.

I would suggest using Flickr. We could create one Flickr account and then within that separate sub folders "Pegasus", "Unicorn", "Baby" "Big Brother" "G4" etc.

There are then 2 options. Either everyone who wants to take part has the username and password to the account and you upload your own images to the requisite folder - at the same time you can tag the photograph with your username in order that people know the source. Or perhaps a half dozen or so people only have the username and password - they are responsible for uploading and tagging the images. I like the latter idea better because its more controllable. There is also nothing stopping people who become more active being involved in uploading but it means a restricted number of people accessing the account which will prevent confusion. People who wish their images to be added can simply pm one of the members who has access to the account and have their pictures added.

When I start a new thread - when this gets to 100ish pages - I can include in the first post a link to the "Alternate Rehair Gallery" as well as the IDs of the users who have access to the account to upload.

A couple of conditions would need to be made on this:
1) I am so sorry but I simply don't have time to run this myself; I am happy to over see it, start it up and allocate the members who will have access to it - but you guys would nee to pretty much run it. I ll happily be the middle woman if someone wants to drop out or someone else wants to have access to the account but the rest needs to be run by you all.
2) It would not be an "official" Arena run account it would need to be member run; I am volunteering to help because I can edit the title posts of threads like this.
3) I would suggest you use it as a back reference - mainly so that when people delete there pictures there is perhaps still a reference for them off thread. And that you all continue to post your amazing re hairs in this thread!

Just let me know here if thats something you want to try.

I love this idea...I wish I had more time and energy, as I would do it myself, but I just don't have either.  >.<  We could do a group of some sort, and request that each artist include name of pony, hair color and site it was purchased at, if it was hand dyed, and who by, etc.  I wouldn't mind doing that at all in my own pictures.  It would definitely help keep track of who did what rehairs, especially for future generations. 

That being said, I am having trouble with rehairing some of my g1s.  I'm not pushing hard, I've been using a push pin, and I'm not using super large needles or large plugs of hair, but I'm having the plug rows split, and whole rows get messed up.  I'm wanting to sell some of the ponies, but I don't want to sell them in that condition (I know they likely would be loved anyway, but still).  What am I doing wrong?

A group is certainly a great idea however any one taking part would then need to have a Flickr account to join and not everyone does. It would also need more management than a single account due to potential discussions. I do think it would work well but the goal is just a gallery and I also cant help but wonder if it would be too complicated for what it needs to be maybe? I also dont want to link in the first post to a Flickr gallery which could have a discussion board which may not stick to MLP Arena rules. 

The blogger site is a fantastic idea too - the only thing again would be trust me it is a lot of work to stay on top of all the images. I think this only helps if you have a group of people managing all the images. However could the flickr gallery be linked out and use the blogger as a front page perhaps?

I think this would work best, I agree it should only be 2 or 3 people tops managing as it could be too crazy with too many managing it. We could just PM or email our new images to the peeps in charge and they can add it in. We'd have to find some volunteers that could dedicate some spare time to this project and keep on top of it. Starting it out is going to be a lot of work with all the pics we have so far but once it's put together managing it shouldn't be too difficult or time consuming.

Hmmm I'm not sure what you're doing wrong (if anything). Did this happen on just one pony or more than one? If it was just one pony I wouldn't worry about it, could just be the pony.

I do the same as you, push pin to stretch the hole, then put plug on.
Also depends on how the plugs are. Sometimes there's barely any plastic between the plugs so in that case I usually skip some plugs.

Maybe some of the more experienced rehairers can give you some advice

Ok...I ll start up the account. I need the following

1) PMs from those volunteering to manage the account
2) Suggestions for the categories; lets not have too many we dont want dozens and dozens of sets, we would be best with 10 or 12 sections
3) If anyone wants to send me an image for the header/avatar for the account that would be good too!

I can manage keeping a blogger site up to date if the image gallery in the background is off my hands. No problem for me going through the newest photos few times a week to keep the site updated.

I've been thinking on the categories. Tags could be used to further sort things but all Gens together would likely work best because some Gens are pretty short on entries to some of the categories.

1. Babies & Newborns
2. Wingers & Flutters
3. Big Brothers & Daddies
4. Sea Ponies
5. Pegasi
6. Unicorns
7. Princesses
8. Twice as Fancy (Cascade & Pretty Patterns from G3 would fit here)
9. Sweetheart Sisters
10. all other Earth Ponies

I'm going to try and work on a logo today. Nothing really inspiring me yet though...

That sounds like an awesome idea!
