Title: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: True on January 16, 2012, 12:38:47 PM
Remember to leave feedback for your partner when you get your pony! :D

If you are done with your custom, feel free to ship now. If you do ship please post here letting me know when you do and when you receive a custom.
Remember:
Make sure you custom is perfectly dry before shipping
DO NOT wrap pony in colored or printed paper

 
Welcome To The MASH-UP Custom Swap

 This swap will be all about taking two original Hasbro ponies and turning them into one new pony. Obviously taking two cutie marks and combining them seems a little bit simple, there are a number of other factors to think about while your planning your custom. You might dream up a new cutie mark, then there are so many other things to take into account, hair, eyes, body color, pose? Lots of things to consider! You could even be mashing up generations. Just remember that all customs should be made using adult G3 baits.


 Mash-Up Custom Swap Important Dates:
 Sign ups start-end:
January 1st - 14th
 Working: January 16th
 Progress, update: January 30th
 Progress, Image required: February 19th
 Shipping: Start-February 25th
 Last day-March 17th
 
 Requirements and Important information:
 =Willing to ship internationally
 =Examples of recent work
 =Feedback (minimum 3 arena/trading post)
 =Must have been a member for at least 3 months
 =Must be at least 16 years old, according to arena rules: www.mlparena.com/Forum...48916.html (http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=148916.html)
 =This is a random swap, your partner will be a surprise, do not let your partner know who you are, it spoils the fun.
 =Please be responsible, Its not fair to your partner if you drop out. If something comes up, PM me right away so I can plan accordingly. Ill be replacing MIA partners so if you absolutely can not finish.. don't just disappear or wait for the last possible moment to tell me, resulting in me dashing around making a custom for someone at the last minute, when I could have had more time to make it.
 =When you ship, DO NOT wrap your pony in colored or printed paper, like tissue or newsprint, as it can transfer onto your custom. Also be sure your pony is completely dry before you pack it up.
 =ONLY list ponies that you absolutely love, you do not get to pick what 2 ponies your partner uses for the mash-up!
 =All customs will be made using G3 baits.
 =When you send your application please include "Mash-Up swap" somewhere in the title.

Everyone should have a partner now. Let me know if you did not get one, or if something is confusing, I THINK I got everyone but I'm still getting used to this new mail format xD Start working everyone!

Yay!  I got my partner, now just to figure how to mix up their ponies!

Post by: Ellis1342 on January 16, 2012, 04:13:04 PM
Woohoo,


Got my partner and have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing! Just need to prep the bait and order the hair. I wonder how long it will take me to get done O.o
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [sign ups closed]
Post by: BlackCurtains on January 16, 2012, 04:34:48 PM
I dig the ponies my partner chose. I have a couple of ideas already but I'm going to mull for a while.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [sign ups closed]
Post by: StarFaerie on January 16, 2012, 04:40:23 PM
Yay. I'm going to love doing this. Love the ponies chosen and even have the perfect bait.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [sign ups closed]
Post by: Eviecorn on January 16, 2012, 05:45:09 PM
I already have the PERFECT ideas for my partner's pony, and I even bought the bait tonight.  Look at me being on the ball and stuff!

Got my partner!! Yeah!!
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [Planning Working!!]
Post by: Summer-blade on January 17, 2012, 10:24:56 AM
got my partner and got everything together for the custom. I picked out a bait that was the perfect color but wrong pose so I found a pony that was the perfect pose and just did a full body repaint...I hate FBRs but I do them so often...
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [Planning Working!!]
Post by: lilgryphon on January 17, 2012, 08:33:39 PM
Already working away, can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

OK Iv seen posts from everyone but steffers29madds, DevlishSmooch, Sam_rules, and pythia. Please post guys, so I know that everything is alright, I'll PM if I don't see them by the end of the week, Id rather not PM though because personally I think having a lot of reply pm's involving swaps can get kinda confusing.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with, and remember the deadlines, and take your time. ^^
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [Planning Working!!]
Post by: Summer-blade on January 18, 2012, 06:26:59 PM
Got the start of the symbols man the ponies my partner picked out were all over the place! I had to stretch my brain to think of something 
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [Planning Working!!]
Post by: True on January 22, 2012, 10:11:46 AM

Post by: steffers29madds on January 30, 2012, 09:11:17 PM
Finally came up with some ideas and prepped my bait! Next up....sculpting. I love the ponies my partner picked and own all but one of them which is helping for references.

Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [check in please]
Post by: Sternenstaub on February 03, 2012, 05:34:18 AM
I'm half way with my custom and I got the "specials" for my custom I wanted. :)
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [check in please]
Post by: Uninu on February 07, 2012, 03:30:22 AM
Aaaaand I'm done! Paintwork isn't as good as I hoped for, but it's the best I can do with my current brushes. Now I'll just ahve to wait for the photo check in and shipping date.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: lilgryphon on February 07, 2012, 02:05:50 PM
I'm more behind than I thought I'd be, we finally found a house after 6 months of searching so I have an unexpected, quick! move this month. However, I still fully expect to have her done before the ship date, don't worry! ;)

Post by: BlackCurtains on February 12, 2012, 08:38:53 PM
Bumpity-bump!

I've finally been able to finish airbrushing (things have been holding me back) so I can start the detail painting. Her body came out very well, much better than I'd hoped!
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: Pythia on February 13, 2012, 02:38:21 AM
I just have to get my hairin' on, and she'll be done. Whoop whoop!

Post by: True on February 14, 2012, 08:40:23 AM
Thanks for the updates everyone ^^ The first pony has arrived safe and sound, Ellis asked to ship early and also happened to be my partner :p

Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: True on February 16, 2012, 07:05:03 AM
please keep in mind there is a photo update coming up on the 19th. If you are already finished feel free to PM me your update photo. these photos do not mean that your pony has to be finished, just a progress update, so i know there is actually a pony in the works. there is still time to work. :)
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: lilgryphon on February 16, 2012, 08:01:39 PM
I'm about half way done with symbol painting...very time consuming, but hopefully I can finish up this weekend and start rehairing.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: gemini_pony on February 16, 2012, 11:40:40 PM
I finished the painting, now i just need to seal and start the re-hairing....once again im kind of sad to let this girl go, but im sure i will get an awesome one from my partner.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: True on February 17, 2012, 01:57:12 AM
i just added the hair to mine, i could be done as soon as the glue dries but i thought of a few things i might add to the body xD

geminipony i know exactly how you feel, for some reason every time i join a swap, i LOVE the pony i make for someone else xD
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: Uninu on February 17, 2012, 06:11:10 AM
I too like the custom I made very much, even though I screwed up with gloss. I love her color combo and I just may have to use it again in some custom I'll keep to myself :D
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [working]
Post by: Sam_rules on February 17, 2012, 10:19:45 AM
I broke the third needle rehairing this pony today :( She just doesn´t want her new hair I think, but I so like the color on her! Anyway, as soon as she has her new mane I am almost done. Probably next week I hope!

hey sam, have you ever used a slightly larger needle to make the holes bigger before you put the hair in? Its what i do now and i break so many less needles that way, it really does help. These are what I use.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I just stuck a large needle in an exacto handle, its much bigger then it needs to be but its all i had around the house at the time and the holes shrink pretty quickly. If you run out of needles let me know, i have a few extra in size 8s.

Post by: lilgryphon on February 18, 2012, 05:24:12 PM
And I'm surprisingly done! We had some downtime at work and luckily I was warned to 'bring something to do' so I finished my rehair there. Just styling her up now!

My pony is soaking in Oxiclean again - she met with an unfortunate accident and I needed to restart her   >_<    My niece apparently wasn't watching my son very well and he got into my customizing stuff (I could KILL her).  But I don't think it will be a problem having her ready to mail on the 25th.
 
If you like, I could send you a pic in 2 or 3 days?  Sorry!

Finally rehaired my girl. For some reason I kept getting stuck up on the hair; that frustration and the addition of Minecraft led to my pony hiding in the corner for a while. But now she's haired, and should have her cutie mark and be done tonight or tomorrow! Huzzah!
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [photo-check in]
Post by: steffers29madds on February 23, 2012, 06:03:29 PM
Completely finished painting tonight! Just needs to be rehaired and sealed and then I'm finished. Yeah!
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [photo-check in]

And back up to page 1. Can we start shipping or do we need to wait for a specific ok for each person?

Post by: Sternenstaub on February 24, 2012, 12:05:33 PM
Drop you a pm already.
 
Will take new pictures tomorrow.
Our old Cam died and we bought a new one - but the pictures I took are just bad. I guess I can take better ones in the daylight tomorrow.
 
I just need a little extra for my custom. I really hope I can find it in teh stores soon. :)

I'm still plodding along. I keep changing the colors of the symbols. They look fine one day and the next I think they're all wrong. I'll finish her eventually... :lookround:

Post by: steffers29madds on February 24, 2012, 04:34:26 PM
Have to fix the eyes after they smudged when I sealed them. AARGH!! I waited a whole twenty-four hours so this wouldn't happen. They were better the first time!

Post by: KiwiSquirtBottle on February 24, 2012, 04:36:02 PM
This morning... This morning I was done.

And then my girlfriend woke up. And suggested things. And now I'm adding on to the pony. XD Arrrrgh. And having to figure out how to make some of it removable so if my partner doesn't like it, they can just take it out.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [photo-check in]
Post by: True on February 24, 2012, 05:48:21 PM
I still have to style the hair on mine some how lol, im still deciding. :p

If you are DONE and want to ship go for it, but PLEASE let me know first, if you want to just post on here that you shipped, that is fine, but id like to be able to change your status by your name just so we can keep track of things.

Did you want to see finished pictures, truevampiress?

Post by: lilgryphon on April 03, 2012, 06:23:00 AM
I haven't seen anything yet, and my own pony had a long way to go, so no surprise that it hasn't shown up yet. (although I keep hoping!)

Post by: lilgryphon on April 08, 2012, 04:52:06 PM
Have the others that haven't received theirs checked in at all? I was in a swap once where my partner went MIA and I never did find out if they received my pony. Gemini_Pony, I hope you weren't my partner, because if so it should have been here a loooong time ago. :(
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: True on April 09, 2012, 03:52:26 PM
I haven't gotten any Mash-up PM's in some time. This is just crazy and very disappointing. :/
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: Pythia on April 09, 2012, 05:39:55 PM
I'm still waiting for mine, but we all know how international shipping can be, and I wonder if the post has been a bit worse than usual because of easter?
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: True on April 10, 2012, 05:57:00 AM
all of the ponies that are still out there are being shipped internationally from "somewhere" lol so I hope that this is just slow mail and not lost, even If I am loosing my patients with these mail people. lol

I am going to PM the people who are waiting on ponies yet to make sure they haven't gotten them but forgot to say so. aside from Pythia since I know you haven't gotten yours xD

Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: True on April 14, 2012, 09:30:26 PM
everyone was accounted for whos custom hasnt made its destination yet. I am going to wait a while before i start figuring out if replacements should be made, mainly because all of them that have not arrived are being shipped internationally.
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: Pythia on April 14, 2012, 10:21:11 PM
Well, I don't know about the others who are waiting but I'm happy to wait a bit longer. Shipping seems really slow at the moment, this isn't the only thing I'm waiting on that's taking ages! Hopefully they'll all arrive eventually. :)
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: lilgryphon on April 15, 2012, 06:44:05 AM
As long as everyone is still communicating I think we're good. ;) It'll just take a while for them to get here.

**Checking in**
 
I'm also still waiting - but I'm not worried yet -  I know that international mail can take forever.
I will track my partners parcel later tonight to check which info I can get. :)

Can you contact ups about it?
Title: Re: Mash-Up Swap [ponies arriving!]
Post by: lilgryphon on May 30, 2012, 07:57:57 AM
Can you contact ups about it?

I sent it USPS, and apparently since it was a 'small' flat rate box they don't track those once it leaves the country, even though it has a tracking number...

I don't know what to do, this is the second time I've joined a swap, sent my item and NEVER heard anything more from my partner.
