Pony Corral / Show me your homemade pony clothing and accessories!
« on: March 14, 2019, 05:53:57 AM »
I know how to sew and I'm currently learning to knit again. I have an urge to make pony clothing and I need a little inspiration XD

So I'm creating a little thread so everyone can show off their designs/clothing patterns! I'd love to see what everyone has created! :D

I apologize if there is already a thread for this!

Pony Corral / What was your Ponyland like as a child?
« on: March 09, 2019, 01:39:38 PM »
So basically how was your imaginary 'Ponyland' set out as a child? Did one pony rule them all? Did ponies live in specific places or were they here there and everywhere?

Also, it's a little sad, but I sometimes think to myself- 'I wonder where my childhood ponies are now?' I sold most of mine, (Easter Cheerilee, Dainty Daisy, Sky Skimmer, Light Heart and Ivy being the lucky ones who managed to stay behind) and I kind of regret it now, at the time I didn't think about how much they meant to me or if I would ever get back into ponies...but now I'm wondering where they are now. Are they in the hands of someone who loved them just as much as me? Are they sitting on a charity shop shelf? Have they been thrown away? Customs maybe?

Does anyone else ever think the same about their ponies?

Off Topic / What book are you currently reading?
« on: January 23, 2019, 12:13:30 PM »
I don't see one of these in the first couple of pages in the Off Topic section (except for a Manga one) so I thought I'd make one :)

What's everybody reading or what book are you hoping to read?

Edit: I'm currently reading The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, I got halfway through What Katy Did Next by Susan Coolidge and forgot about it, I really need to finish it, I was really enjoying it.

Please check the comments!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone!  :)

I've had enough of college work and decided to take a little break and get creative this weekend!
So I've decided to make a little adoptable giveaway!
If you need a ponysona or just want a friend for yours, you've come to the right place! :P
The first 5 people to sign up will be entered into the draw to win a random pony, I haven't given them symbols or names but if you'd like me to just comment "symbol please!", "Name please" or "Symbol and name!"
I'm currently learning to use my mini tablet and Photoshop (as you can see I attempted a new avatar XD) So I need some practice.

I love the G3 pony style, especially the backcards on the boxes, so I've decided to make the adopts in that style but feel free to change that lol!
Ponies will *hopefully* (I've got one drawn) be given out Thursday 24th Jan or when all spaces are taken, so stay tuned! :D
(I'll also link the backcards I've used too!)

I must apologize I've never done a giveaway before haha XD hopefully everything goes smoothly!

I've spotted a Peachy I'd like to buy someone for Christmas and everything looks perfect (No haircuts, symbol rub etc.) Except for some dirt on the legs of the pony. Is there anyway to get rid of this? Should I scrub her with a toothbrush?

Thank you in advance :)

The Dollhouse / Novi Stars?
« on: November 02, 2018, 02:34:09 PM »
I just remembered that these were a thing, I've never owned any but I genuinely think they're quite cute.

I want to buy some myself if I'm honest well when I have the money to XD. Does anyone collect these dolls? Are they worth buying? (like are they worth the price/material quality good?)

Also, has anyone made customs of these? If so what was your experience like? Share some pictures if you want, I'd love to see customs of these dolls!

So many questions

Pony Corral / Your dream army pony?
« on: October 20, 2018, 03:42:02 AM »
What pony do you/ or would you love to have as your army pony?

I'd love to have Sundance (G1 specifically) as my army pony, I've only got one of her at the moment :lovey:
I currently have 5/6 McDonald's G2 Sundances so I guess she's my current army pony  :P I'd like to change that lol.

Edit: I guess you could say I've got a bit of a G1 Posey army too :)


What about you?

My bait pony has finally arrived but I would like to know before I customise her, how rare is Secret Tale? I can't find out how rare she is anywhere so I might as well ask the pony community  :biggrin:
Her symbols are still intact but her mane and tail have been chopped, she has pink highlighter on her legs and she's missing an eye jewel

Thank you in advance!

Customs / My first custom- Flower Frost
« on: October 15, 2018, 05:11:05 PM »
I spent most of my day finishing her off and she's finally done! I want to thank Safflower, Tailrustedtealeaf and Griffin for name suggestions  ^.^ I mixed everyone's suggestions into one!

And now time for the big reveal!!!




I kind of went with the flow on her, I didn't have a plan I just went with what felt good and what worked. She's a winter custom made from a bait G3 Sweetie Belle.
Her hair is made from acrylic yarn, it was blue and white but the more I used the less blue was there!  :lookround: so she's has a bit of a gradient thing going on I guess?
Shes covered in white glitter from horn to hoof to give off a frosty affect, she has rosey cheeks, eyeshadow made from a mix of acrylic, eye shadow and glittery nail varnish. Her symbol is made from an old earring I found, but I am debating whether I like it or not :wonder:

Maybe if I improve and continue to practice I could open myself up to commissions or even stick one in a swap as a gift!
She's currently hanging out with Ivy on my shelf :P

So...

Do you like her? Does she look okay for a first custom?I really hope I haven't ruined a poor pony!!!

Customs / Winter Pony (WIP) Name suggestions? FINISHED! NEW THREAD!
« on: October 14, 2018, 09:02:32 AM »
Check her out here ----> http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,393522.new.html#new

(Note: This is my first custom so the finished product wont be great!  ^^; )
Since my bait G2 hadn't arrived I decided just to scrap my OC custom for now and make a G3 custom. I had a baity G3 Sweetiebelle lying around and some yarn I had purchased the other day. At first I wanted to make a hippie pony named Dream Catcher but the yarn I was using didn't really suit her so instead I've decided to make a winter themed pony.

When I took off her head, I noticed strange copper coloured substance around the plug and when I fully took her head off, I was greeted by rust! Everywhere, inside her legs, inside her head, ugh it was disgusting! :X Luckily, shes clean now (Thank you Safflower for suggesting dish soap to clean her!).
Excuse my bedding, I love cacti

She still needs some cleaning around her eyes but im doing that after rerooting her. I'm thinking about painting her eyes as if they where shut and giving her some nice wintery eyeshadow! Shes got a tuft of pink hair sticking out as it seems to be stuck in there XD

Shes lacking a symbol as she has no name yet   ^^;

She had frosty hooves now and I repainted her horn and forehead using some glittery nail varnish, her eyeshadow is a mix of eyeshadow, nailvarnish, clear nail top coat paint and acrylic paint. I added fake lashes instead of painting them on as I got frustrated with painting them on and not getting them even XD
(One of her symbols is still a bit visible on the last pic)  ^^;

Now time for the symbol and name!


Anyone got any name suggestions?

This is the correct place to post this right...?


Anyway, last Thursday (4th oct.) a purchased a pony from eBay, unfortunately the poor thing is being delivered by Hermes Not my first choice for delivery and everything was going well for the next few days; order was being tracked and parcel was moving swiftly through the process until it just stopped. Last update I got on my parcel was on the 6th at around 8pm with the details 'Driver not scanned at depot'. Its been almost a week now since that update and the parcel was expected to arrive yesterday or today but I have had no further details of my poor pony  :( My mum says that I should give it till Monday but its supposed to have arrived today. What should I do? Shall I see if it arrives this afternoon or this evening? Should I give it till Monday? Or should I get in contact with the delivery service bearing in mind they are not the nicest nor most helpful...


Thank you in advance!

EDIT: No mail this afternoon or this evening, there has been no update on tracking. I've also emailed the company and waiting for a reply

EDIT 2: Contacted the seller and he too was furious at Hermes and has put in a support claim and will let me know if anything happens. Also, I checked my tracking history and it says 'Label reprint' and ' Northern' in grey below so I'm guessing it was sent elsewhere?

EDIT 3: Now at customers local depot. Should be on its way today or tomorrow hopefully.
Thank you for all your help everyone :)

Customs / Custom tips for a newbie? (Super silly question, I'm sorry!)
« on: October 04, 2018, 02:24:54 PM »
I really hope I'm posting in the correct area for this  :lookround:

I just purchased a bait G2 pony from eBay as I have an itch to get creative and make a custom. I know the basics of rerooting a pony and I've decided to use yarn for her mane and tail as its most suited to her hair style. So...I would like to know has anyone got any tips? What's the best paint/product to use for painting a symbol on? (Her symbol is going to be very basic/simple)

Thank you in advance! ^.^

Pony Brag Arena / Charity Shop find! - Forsythia!
« on: October 03, 2018, 04:24:24 PM »
A huge charity shop recently opened near my house and so on Sunday I decided to have a little look around.

In the toy section, hidden in the corner behind all the other toys I spotted this lovely lady :lovey:
