Customs / Re: Advice for a First time customizer?
« on: December 23, 2014, 03:34:38 PM »
Personally, I would just do a full body repaint on that rather than try to remove the thermal paint.  But then, I haven't tried to customize one of those yet so I don't know if it makes a difference in the finished product. 

Anyway, I've found that using a thin layer of primer works wonders to get paint to stick to the ponies. 

Look at a lot of tutorials, experiment, don't be afraid to mess it up.

Remember, it's never a mistake, it's an Artistic Choice!

Good luck!

Customs / Re: Interest in mini food (pony) commissions?

Wow!  Your customs are gorgeous!  I love the 3D additions on them.  It makes them so much fun!

As for how much people would pay, I don't have any idea.  You could always put one on Ebay and see what people are willing to pay for them and go from there if no one on here has any suggestions.  Just decide on the minimum amount you'll accept for your work and go up from there. 

Your work is beautiful.  :)

Customs / How do you decide...
« on: December 12, 2014, 03:36:28 PM »
I'm curious (and not entirely sure if this is the right forum for this question).  How do you decide how much to sell your customs for?  I often see how high some artists charge and wonder if they actually sell for that much or if they end up taking up shelf space for decades on end.  I understand that some require a lot of work and therefore cost more, but I see stuff that I wouldn't pay more than $10 for being priced at $60 or more.  Maybe I just don't like the design enough to pay that much for it.

On the other hand, what determines how much you are willing to pay for a custom pony?  And if I price my customs low in an effort to reach more buyers, does that make it look like I don't think my work is worth much?

Thanks so much for all your comments  :biggrin:

I'll post a link on the for sale forum when I put another batch of customs/artwork on Ebay. 

Until then, be sure to check out my DeviantArt page and see the cutie mark trinket boxes and pony piggie banks I painted.  :)

Very pretty.  What kind of dye do you use?  The one time I tried to use dye it looked okay at first but faded in splotches.  Any tips?

30 really isn't that old, unless you have some underlying health issue that will shorten your lifespan.  If it makes you feel better, I'm older than you are and don't have kids either.  Even if you don't have children now, maybe one day you will.  Maybe you'll adopt.  Or maybe you'll marry someone who has their own children.  Maybe you'll get a niece or nephew that shares your love of ponies.  Personally, I think it's a bit early to be worried about where your ponies are going to end up.  If it's really bugging you, though, maybe you should make a record of which ponies you have and what they're worth or maybe you could pick someplace for them to go (a charity or a friend) and make sure that someone close to you knows that's where they're supposed to end up if anything happens to you.

Introductions / Hello...
« on: December 08, 2014, 11:13:50 PM »
I started collecting ponies when I was 5.  My very first was Baby Glory, so you can figure out how old I am from that.  Now I not only collect, but I do custom work as well, which my brother sells for me on Ebay.  My favorite color is purple.  I work at a library.  I'm fluent in sarcasm.  I dabble in writing.  And I'm waiting for my Prince Charming to get his act together and show up.
