"Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Entries closed!]

[Colorscapesart]

Welcome to the Second Fakie Appreciation Contest!

Fakie ponies come in a delicious array of shapes and sizes from "omg that's NOT a My Little Pony?" to "back away slowly....." and from time to time it can be fun as an artist to try something new!  They are cheap, easy to find, and for the most part follow the same customization rules!  So let's see what happens as our amazing Arena artists come together for....adventures in customizing!

Rules:
1. Contest is open to ANY Arena member.
2. Contest will be judged entirely by public vote, so even mods can play if they like.
3. Contest will begin officially on April 20th. Participants will post a before pic of their pony before the contest starts.  (Members can enter any time, even after the 20th, they will just have less time.  They just need to post a pic of their before fakie.)
4.  There will be TWO divisions, a Hasbro-mold division and a non-Hasbro mold division, members are allowed to enter each division one time, for two total entries if desired.
5. I require at least three entries in a division to award prizes.   
6. Ponies may be prepped for baiting before 4/20 but do not begin work until that date!  Use the time before for planning and/or ordering supplies.
7. It is not required but encouraged to post in the chatter thread (this thread) for fun.  You may show WIP pics if you like but are not obligated to. 

If you have any questions about whether or not a fakie is a Hasbro mold, feel free to ask!

Prizes! [pics coming soon!]
~Basic G4 custom commission from Hannaliten!
~G4zilla Pinkie Pie (loose)
~A basic custom commission (including Flame Kissed pony if desired) from myself
~2 hanks of Dollyhair (random colors)
~2 Prepped DG fakie babies (teal and lavender)

Non-Hasbro mold ponies are MORE of a challenge.  As such, the order for the awarding of prizes is as follows:
1st choice: 1st place winner of non-Hasbro division
2nd choice: 1st place winner of Hasbro division
3rd choice: 2nd place winner of non-Hasbro division
4th choice: 2nd place winner of Hasbro division

Winners will have one week to select a prize after receiving notification before their choice is skipped and we move on to the next winner.  Shipping of prizes will be FREE within the US.  For international winners, I would appreciate it if you could chip in half the shipping costs.

4/20 Begin!
6/1 Contest End!  Any entries received after 6/1 will not be eligible for voting.

Ooo, I'll join this one! I would like to do an entry for the non-hasbro mold

Here is my before picture of Violet Fuji, the bait I will be using for the contest (she came to me without hair, so I guess that's a bonus) She is also pictured with her brother, Diamond Dasher for comparison:

I wanna play!!!!  Must think on the fakies though. 

[NoDivision]

I don't have any fakies that are non hasbro mold, so I'm going to have to go hunting!

[BlackCurtains]

Here they be! They're Lanard ©2003. The baby is pretty adorable, imo.

Oh my gosh, that pair is adorable! I have a fakie on the way from an awesome friend

[rybett]

Don't think I've ever seen a baby L in that pose.  Love it!

[Eluluu]

I might actually have to dig thru the bait drawer of shame to see if any of the dreaded fakies speak to me or not... We shall see.. =P

[Ariadna]

I'd like to enter, but I don't know if I could ever customise one of my fakies. I'll have to think about it

[Katika]

This has me greatly intrigued... I'll go digging through my bait bag and see what I can find.  Are the customs-to-be limited only by our imaginations here?  Or are there any themes or such that we're supposed to aim for?

[Sarahlacewing]

Yay! Gotta start the fakie hunt.

[hannaliten]

oh, I want to join. Time to go fakie hunting!

[Tulips]

I'm definitely thinking about entering, but I'm not sure. My customs are usually spur of the moment, done over a few evenings, with no plan or guarantee.

[Colorscapesart]

Well, there is NO obligation!   You are welcome to join in for fun and if something comes up, that's ok!

[Galactica]

How fun! I totally want to join!!  I have a really cute fakie I've been dying to fix-
