Title: Horns and Skulls Swap, 2 days to FINAL CHECK IN DUE AND SHIPPING
Post by: Saja on August 28, 2014, 07:24:54 PM
This swap is for anything with horns, and or skulls, can be as simple as a unicorn or as full on as a skull, Let your imagination run wild, some previous thoughts and inspiration posted in my previous thread here
http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,357977.0.html
Feel free to add in inspirational pics to this thread.
Dates:
Sign ups: open now for 2 weeks or until we fill up
Partners assigned before or on: Sept 15th
First check in: Oct 15th
Progress pictures required: Nov 3rd
Final check in: Nov 25th and then shipping. in order to beat the Christmas rush
Please remember to always check your organizer's feedback before joining a swap.
Sajas Feedback http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php?action=trader&id=13012

Rules:
1. You must have atleast 3 positive Arena feedback and no negative Arena feedback.
2. You must have been an Arena member for at least 3 months before sign ups are over.
3. You must have pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs to show the quality of your work. This is a skill based swap and I need to know where to put you.
4. Ship on time! I realize real life issues come up sometimes. If this happens, I want to know about it as soon as you realize you will be late.
5. No shipping early! I will be withholding addresses until shipping time to prevent this. The exception will be after final check in and your partner is ready to ship as well. I don't want anyone disappointed in this swap and with so many people going MIA lately, it's best for everyone to hold off until we are sure their partners haven't disappeared.
6. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date.
7. Send me pictures of your completed custom before you ship. I want to know your custom is complete before it goes out.
8. Let me know right away when you ship your pony and when you receive one.
9. Do not let anyone know who your partner is. It is secret.
10. Extras are not required, But everyone loves receiving extras in there package. However, do not go overboard with these. This is about the customs. A small treat/gift or 2 is fine and good but not too much. After all, you worked hard on the custom, it should be the most exciting part!
11. This swap includes all generations of ponies (G1, G2, G3, G3.5, and G4), if there are any of these you do not like, include that in your form. Do not use any fakies unless your partner requests it.
12. You must be in no more than 2 other custom swaps (total of 3).
13. The title of your PM should be " Where's my skull", so I know you read the rules. If the title of your pm is not right, you will not be added to the sign up list.
14. PM the sign up form to me Saja by the sign up deadline. I will do my very best to get partners out ASAP.
15. You must check in with pictures for the final check in. If you do not check in, you will not be receiving a Pony.
16. KEEP YOUR SHIPPING RECEIPTS! You need to be able to produce proof of shipping when asked. You need to hold onto your receipt until your partner confirms that they have received their pony. I also highly recommend delivery confirmation for those not shipping internationally.
17. IF AT ANYTIME YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE PULLED FROM THE SWAP. This includes, but is not limited to, missing check ins and sharing partners. Make sure you are familiar with the rules before you sign up. You are expected to follow them.
18. Please be willing to Post Internationally. It makes it alot easier to pair people by skill when everyone is willing to post anywhere.
If your not willing to post internationally which I understand, please don't be offended if your paired with someone not based entirely on skill.
19. Customs MUST be posted in a BOX. a well packed padded, bubble wrap, peanuts, foam something, but MUST be posted in a box. and must include a card or note from you to say who its from.



Form:
Arena Name:
Real name and shipping address:
Email address (for contacting you off forum if we need to):
Link to feedback:
Links to pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs (more than one image if each is welcome) {Please send pictures that show off the qualities you intend to possibly use on your custom. Sending me a bunch of ponies that are heavily sculpted but don't show off your painting skills when you only plan to paint or showing off ponies with no sculpting when you plan to sculpt is not very useful for pairing you up. Please choose what you feel are the best of your recent ponies displaying the qualities that would be useful for this swap.}:
Will you ship internationally?
Which generation(s) would you like to recieve?
Which generation(s) do you prefer to customize?
Is there any generation you do not want to recieve?
Is there anything you do not want on your custom?
Is there anything you favor on your custom?
Do you have any allergies?
Do you smoke, have pets, or any other things we should be aware of in case your partner has allergies?
What other swaps are you in?
Please choose and list 3 color combos or options for your pony:
1.
2.
3.


Please list upto 5 Things you would like with horns or skulls, please add in any pics for referendces too, for your partner to choose from,
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Please include any pics that would help your partner with your ideas and choices.
Some inspiration, feel free to post more!!

I have never done anything with horns or skulls.. and I am not even sure how to do them (horns that is) how do you attach them to heads?? or else I would sign up for this

Personally I clay a wire into the head
-Using a pin I make a hole in the head then thread the wire in until its out the bottom of the neck
- The wire can then be bend and cant get back out of the hole 
- Then you just pull it back in and add some clay so it doesnt move ^.^

After its set cut the wire to the right size and then clay your horn shape ^.^

You should join ^.^ Will be good fun and good practice ^.^

I'd ask Saja but I dont think it needs to be sculpted ^.^ It could be painted or you could join the newbies section and practice some sculpting ^.^ Its alot of fun ^.^

Have been thinking about whether or not to enter since I'm in a private Halloween swap and want to do a Christmas swap and I have a vacation at the end of October... but really this one's right in between all that, so the overlap shouldn't be bad. AND there's another newbie, so I think I'll be submitting my form soon...
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, Sign ups OPEN!!
Post by: Griffin on September 07, 2014, 03:31:05 AM
I stated in my form that I'd be happy with a painted custom. :) The swap theme gives so many possibilities and not all of them involve sculpting. Here are some ideas in pony form! Painted designs and horns made with alternative materials:

Haku by lilacamy931 (http://fav.me/d4qt9vw)
Santa's Pocket Watch by EllisArts (http://fav.me/d4s0n4h)
Icy by DeeKary (http://fav.me/d4s9fxs)
MLP The Last Unicorn by simplysteffie (http://fav.me/d41aj3h)
The Many Faces of Mimic by eponyart (http://fav.me/d33xacf) (slight gore warning!)
Undead Ophelia by Kanthaka/DarlingV (http://fav.me/d5jhv0y)
Bad 2 the Bone by BadJuju86 (http://fav.me/d53jhua)
Fawna by StarshinesCustoms (http://fav.me/d6yi2ju) (No horns/antlers/skulls here, I know... but imagine the fawns all grown up with antlers and it fits the swap theme ;) )

I have a soft spot for ponies with animal portraits painted on them. You could choose any horned animal and I'd be happy!  :biggrin: Skulls work well with painted designs, too.

Sculpting horns is fun though, I can totally recommend trying it even if you haven't done it before! Antlers and twisted horns may be a bit trickier but straight prongs or slightly curved antelope horns are relatively straighforward, especially if you leave out the ridges or just paint them on.

Saja, do you happen to know the name of the last animal in the photo (the ones that are extinct in the wild)?

It really saddens me how quickly animal populations are diminishing and how some have already gone completely extinct in our lifetime, while others only exist in zoo's and animal sanctuaries.

No sorry they were all long names I cannot recall.  And yes completely the same, all the animals they spoke of had like 400 left in the wild, an I was telling my kids, to appreciate the view of them now, as I bet once there kids are born they wil be extint. its very very sad.

Got a good bit of sculpting done last night. Hope to finish sculpting the details tonight and then it's baking and painting. Had to revise my original plan, but still on track. :). Hoping my partner will like this one. Undecided on the color schemes though... Which is why I haven't ordered hair yet. But soon... :D

This past month has been very busy for me. I'm about to finish a private swap, so I'm working on gathering supplies for this swap. Almost have everything I think I'll need! This will probably be the most I've ever sculpted on one pony! Glad there are still many weeks to go.

I'm not sure if my design is finalized but I started sculpting nevertheless, let's see how it goes! These sculpted parts are what I'm sure about, it's the rest that gives me troubles... At this point I feel the best solution is to keep working and let the pony decide what it wants to become. ;)

Thankful for this cold, rainy day I had off from work.  Much progress was made today!

The sculpting is done (much more sculpting than I originally planned on) and the hair has been ordered (intended to order earlier, but was torn between a color scheme and waiting for dollyhair to restock so I could place a mass order). I am soooo loving this particular pony project!  All that's left to do is priming, painting and rehairing.  And then a few fun, top-secret details.  Muahaha!

On another note...

Anyone have any useful tips/tricks/suggestions for shipping a somewhat fragile custom pony?  (Besides gobs and gobs of bubble wrap and a super sturdy box) ?

Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, progress pics check in nearly due
Post by: Thunderwing on November 01, 2014, 05:44:30 PM
Sunshine - you could try double boxing, that is the method I use for fragile porcelain figurines. You wrap the item in bubble wrap, then it goes into a small box. You then place that small box inside a larger box and pad it (I use packing peanuts). It helps add an extra layer of cushioning. Use enough bubble wrap that the figure does not move around, and enough packing peanuts that if you shake the final package you can't hear anything moving around inside.

Progress pics sent!

Oh dearest partner, I seem to have purchased an extra nurse redheart when I hit up Walgreens. >>() If you are not a fan of g4s disregard this question, but if you DO collect g4s do you already have her or would you like to receive her as an extra?

I'd love her as an extra. :)

I haven't quite decided if I want to do more or if I prefer the elegance of simplicity, although it's less what I would care for and more what my partner would prefer, I'll see how I feel once I'm done adding the eyes and hair :)

That paper is awesome! Where on earth did you find it?  :blink:

Finally back on progress. I have almost everything I need now and will be on time although not early by any stretch of the imagination. ^^;  I'm just glad it no longer looks like I'll be last minute anymore. I'm waiting on things to dry enough for me not messing them up putting more things on but should have it ready for details by Friday.  ^.^

Old posters, duplicate comics (the comic was one I got as a double because the guy at the comic book shop had one that he spilled coffee on and was going to throw away), pamphlets that come in the brushable, I have been trying to recycle all my paper bits and put them to good use.

Finished sculpting! :newpony:

Aww, I can't believe some of you guys are shipping already. Well, sculpting was the most time-consuming part on my pony, the rest should come together pretty easily. I hope... I still have some sewing to do and that's definitely not my forte. XD
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: archidraca on November 10, 2014, 04:34:12 PM
I'm going to finish up the horns tonight and try (3rd time) to finish up the rest of the sculpting tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll be finished pretty soon.  ^.^
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: aintnobuffalo on November 10, 2014, 07:54:06 PM
I've finished all the sculpting! I think that will end up being the part that took the most time and effort. Painting should be fairly simple, I think. Partner, if your creation happens to be non-pony. What are you feelings on not having a cutie mark? I have been debating this idea in my head since I finalized my plan!

I can't believe people are shipping already! Impressive. I guess I should keep a closer eye on my mailbox?
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: Iris Patch on November 10, 2014, 07:56:50 PM
If it were my pony, a lack of cutie mark would certainly not be a deal breaker if the overall design is well done. :)
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: MikeysGrrrl on November 10, 2014, 08:14:46 PM
I'm all finished, just sent my final pic :)

Not at all bothered about whether there is a cutie mark or not, sometimes less is more ;)
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: archidraca on November 10, 2014, 08:49:54 PM
Having to go slower on these horns so I don't mess them up... It's so hard to wait for sculpting to dry!  ^^;

I think sometimes the curie marks are unnecessary. I don't think they need be forced in.  ^.^
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: Saja on November 10, 2014, 09:25:06 PM
Agree with above. mine does NOT have a cutie mark. As it would ruin the overall design
and I have SHIPPED!!
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: Griffin on November 11, 2014, 03:42:35 AM
Mine won't have symbols either because her butt will be hidden. :D I agree that sometimes less is more* and symbols / cutie marks are often unnecessary with non-traditional customs, like when the pony is turned into another creature. Go with whatever you think looks best! ;) 

*Considering my own design I can't believe I just said this... :'D

Cutie marks make no difference to me, either! :)

And I should be finished up with most of the FBR and detail painting this weekend.  Hoping to get her rehaired and ready for shipping in the next few days thereafter. 

Can't wait to see what everyone has come up with!

As for my custom for my partner:  I'm finally finshed with the FBR. Just need to detail it and seal it before rehairing. Very excited with this girl! :)
Title: Re: Horns and Skulls Swap, photo check in passed.
Post by: Griffin on November 16, 2014, 01:35:56 PM
That kirin is beautiful, I love those scales!

I'm rehairing mine right now, this sucker is taking forever... I should've rehaired her before sculpting the horns (spoiler! lol). I used Apoxie inside the head to secure the wires and I tried to make sure the plug holes remained open but there were some tricky spots nevertheless. I'm almost finished now though, can't wait to move on to the next stage!

I'm very happy with the paint job, that's what makes this custom for me. I was quite worried as I wasn't too excited about my initial design. Made some tweaks and I like it, so far! :lol: I hope I will grow to love her by the time she's finished. Most importantly, I hope my partner will love her.

Opened! I love him! :heart: :lovey: :heart:

This is definitely one way to show you want something to arrive in one piece. ^^;

Picture of the fab loot she sent me, thank you for all the goodies! My cat begged me for the ornament because it jingles just like her toys. xD I didn't let her have it of course, but it was funny to watch her reaction.

My deer is so gorgeous and adorable! I love the blending of Disney style and FiM style :D The sculpting on the antlers is just exquisite.

Squeeeeeee!  :cheer:   So glad she made it to you safe and sound! I tried my best to package her to avoid any breakage/damage. 

I'm so pleased that you like her. I was kinda sweating it for a while there during the creative process... was afraid she didn't quite fit the color schemes you specified.  Good to know you're ok with her.  I really loved making her for you!

Here's the link to the brag thread.
