is it open for all gen baits or only certan gen like fim ponies?
Oh I could do that. XD
YAY please save me a spot,I will be filling my form out over the weekend when I have enough time to get together some inspirational pics:) x
*counts* Just 7 more! *goes off to try to find people because she wants a partner and the 17th is far too far away*
Salli I sent my form in lol I was to worried id miss out x:frolic: YAY!!!!!
I think...*sees all the talent* Um...nevermind. :P
Okay, is anyone listing dark movies/books for inspiration? Because when I think of darkness and things I think of Vincent Price for one and Tim Burton as well. Is that okay to list or should I use other inspiration?
I wouldn't mind joining this swap, but I don't meet the feedback and swap requirements. I've only been in two swaps, and I don't usually do a lot of trades. I can't really call sales feedback mine, since I mostly just make resin pony bodies and pass them across the table to Tiella to doll up. Speaking of my lovely wife, we've got a baby coming in a week and a half, and he'll suck up a lot of time.
While I can't enter, I'll definitely keep tabs on the thread! :D
Enter! You know you wanna!
Enter! You know you wanna!
But I don't meet the requirements! :p
Oh my gosh, only 3 spots left. :O I'm with you Salli! I see that list and I'm psyched!
I think...*sees all the talent* Um...nevermind. :P
I think...*sees all the talent* Um...nevermind. :P
That's funny because I look at all the talent and think "WOW! I would love to swap with them!"
Ok! Hurry up you last person!!!!

<3 Love Vincent Price and Tim Burton <3 I would have to add Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee to that list of awesome movieness ^.^
Oh I totally wanna do this <3 Gonna do the form now <3

Okay, so I've made the preliminary list and I just need approval on it! Then you'll have partners. XD
So excited!!
Here are some awesome dark ponies not made by me:
DarlingV's Undead Ophelia. I don't like skulls that much but I LOVE this pony!

More inspiration - I used to be a HUGE fangirl for Linsner's Dawn comics, and here's some awesome shots of his art. I actually still have a few of my favorite pieces stashed away in the house, and unfortunately neglected to put these on my submission form :( :( A lot of his stuff isn't safe for work, but here's some of my favorites that are.

This was my grail when I was collecting his work. I'd actually put a deposit on a print about 14 years ago, but never got to pay it off. I shudder to think about what this might cost these days.

Not truly spooky, but it just has a dark feeling to me.
And... spoilered because it features a huge expanse of thigh...
coinoperatedgirl the second image is beautiful :)
Amazing inspiration pictures, everyone! I can't wait to get started on this swap :lovey:

I think this swap might call for an epic repose *looks at swap dates* yeah, it's possible.
question for my partner: if I make a pony with an outfit, do you prefer sculpted or sewn clothes (possibly removable)?

I'm good with either or for clothes, I wasn't big on sculpted until I got a little sculpted custom from someone and I love her!
I have tomorrow off I should be able to at lest start on a bait. I have a mini Airbrush I've been wanting to try looks like this'll be the pony I do a big test on. I already have some ideas but I do need to get some hair.
Oh that leads me to a question how would everyone feel about glow in the dark hair? or Tinsel in hair?
I set aside a bait but haven't prepped it I was going to but had one of those lazy days :p
Dear partner, do you like all over designs or do you prefer things more simple?
HOW DO YOU ALL WORK SO FAST!?!??!
combine them all together and make a super pony
I like that we're still using the term Epic, hanna. XD
My pony won't have an elaborate painted design, but everything else will hopefully be very epic.Its this kind of pressure which makes me think I am being too simple with my design Hanna!!! :P

Yes we are. I'm aiming high, now watch me fail >.<
Dear partner, do you like all over designs or do you prefer things more simple?Whatever you think is best! I'm not too terribly picky. ^.^
I normally like things simple and elegant, but i always trust my partners to make what they think is best. Trust inyour own judgment and im sure i will love it too :)Either!
Im torn between using a G3 or a fashion style G4. Preference?
(yes, I may sidetrack the thread with baby pics if no one has any objections).Its Monday in Australia. Tiella promised me baby pics on Monday :P WHERES MY PICS???
Partner, do you mind real feathers?
Feathers are cool, though I would prefer undyed feathers to dyed ones. There are a lot of birds who have such pretty plumage that the stuff you can buy for decoration often pales in comparison.Agreed :) Also, bub is so gorgeous <3
Perfume Puff looks most of the times lovely!
Actually, I'd love to see some one pull off gradient perfume puff hair <3That would look soooooo awesome! *_*
(I've always wanted to see someone do a 'Make-Me-Like-Something-I-Hate Swap'. Where people get a list of things they hate like g3 donkey-pose, g 3.5, ballerina baby g1s, yarn hair, sculpted hair, neon colors, BBE's, etc... and then they have to take a list of things they love and see if they can make their partner like it! )
*reads VJ's comment, panics, then reads the deadline* I'm good!
And Salli ...Quote(I've always wanted to see someone do a 'Make-Me-Like-Something-I-Hate Swap'.

This. Is a GREAT swap idea. It should definitely be done some time in the future! If someone could make me love a BBE, that person will be legendary.

Question: Do you guys collect anything other than ponies or have nerdy obsessions (i.e. Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings etc...) that you would like an extra from?

Grrrr. The sculpting broke when I started painting. Apparently I over-baked it, as none of my previous Fimo sculptures haven't done anything like this. Sigh, I hope super glue will fix this. If not I'm not sure what to do :(

How on Earth are you finished so fast?! :shocked:
Yeah, I know I'll be using the entire time to do mine *guffaw*
I really have these crazy huge ideas......
I've managed to do 2 airbrushing sessions, and since I am feeling worse than I did yesterday, I may spend my day on the couch plotting hair colours.

I've been sidelined from my pony room for a bit due to an ankle injury, but luckily I had made good progress before this week so this lapse won't hurt me. It's a mess in there and going back and forth on crutches is nearly impossible. DX
Relatively certain I'm going to be crying at how many people are almost done by the time I even start painting mine....... :yikes:
It isn't a race, ladies. :D It seems a lot of us have outside influences affecting how fast or slow we may work, and this is in addition to how fast or slow we may normally work. I personally think that, so long as you make the final deadline, you should take as much time as you have/need to in order to make your pony the best you can for your partner.
Just this guy's opinion. :D

Very much agreed. We don't want to rush our ponies. Some of us are blessed with more time on our hands than others. :)

Either way is good for me, but I do not brush my custom's manes, so if you want to do a hair-do that is fine. :)

I plan to start painting this weekend. My design doesn't call for sculpting, and it'd just cover up the glitter in the resin anyway.
Quick reminder that first photo check-in is due Wednesday! If you want to go ahead and start sending them at this point, that's okay by me.

Did you cast a resin pony for your partner????? :shocked: That is going to be awesome!

I confess that I did, yes. :biggrin:
Oh geez! I'm so far behind. Real life has been sorta nutty and getting in the way. I'll be done on time though and I'll make check in too.
Required batteries?? Wow, that pony will be epic :shocked:

Oh Kaoskat, I am sure it will be great! :D
Then, diorama!
I'm soooooo not sure about this anymore.... :sad: But I suppose I never am at this stage. Still...... It doesn't look as awesome as I'd hoped at the moment....I've had the same thoughts the entire time I've been working on mine. Now I have all this pressure to be epic!
Please remember all check-ins are due TODAY if you haven't already sent yours.
Dear partner would you mind a small base?
Base is fine with me. And Salli, she wants to know if you want a small decorated (usually) stand type thing for your pony to stand on while it's on display.
Bases are lovely, but also I have incredibly limited display space for my ponies so Nothing much larger than the pony's hoof-span ideally. I'd rather have a beautiful stand-alone pony unless she really really called for the addition of a base (i.e. for stability, or the addition of something to make her "make sense" - like my STUNNING game-ends http://strawberrymeadow.deviantart.com/art/Twisted-Fairytale-Swap-Alice-and-Hatter-Game-end-364954440 (http://strawberrymeadow.deviantart.com/art/Twisted-Fairytale-Swap-Alice-and-Hatter-Game-end-364954440) from WaePonies etc)
Extra goodies? Personally, I have a sweet tooth. I love hard candies, especially fruity stuff (except nasty lemonses, Precious!). I would beg that whichever lovely lady is making for me please not send me anything that melts, as the 95-ish Florida heat would ruins it!
