Title: Harry Potter swap - finished!
Post by: hannaliten on April 14, 2014, 08:37:59 AM
This swap is for anything Harry Potter!
Feel free to add in inspirational pics to this thread.

This swap will include a BASIC and ADVANCED category. The basic category is for repaint/rehair, small sculpted bits, etc. Join the advanced category if you're planning major sculpting, sewing, reposing work, etc.

Dates:
Sign ups: NOW- May 3 or until 20 spots have been filled
Partners assigned on or before May 10
First check in: June 7th
Progress picture required July 5th
Final check in: August 11th
Shipping August 11th - 15th
Please remember to always check your organizer's feedback before joining a swap.
Hannaliten's Feedback http://mlparena.com/index.php?action=trader&id=10561

Rules:
1. You must have at least 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.
6. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date.
7. Final pictures are REQUIRED. I want to know that your custom is finished before you ship it out. If you do not check in with a picture, you will not be receiving a pony!
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 a secret.
10. Extras are nice, but not required,This is about the customs. You worked hard on it, 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 "Quidditch", 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 Hannaliten by the sign up deadline. I will do my very best to get partners out ASAP.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. Please be willing to Post Internationally. It makes it a lot 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.
18. 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.


If you have any questions for your partner, please feel free to contact me or as a general question in the thread.

Humm, I might be interested... Not fully certain though. Would it be character only swap or would it be possible to request pony made based on the spells, items and so on?

Anything that has to do with HP. You'd be listing 5 item, characters, spells, whatever, for your partner.

I had so much fun with this when I was in one. I still have my custom from it too . I dont do much customizing lately but id love to see the harry potter themed ponies in the forum again. ^^ theres soooo much that you can do with those movies!
Title: Re: Gauging interest: Harry Potter swap
Post by: Uninu on April 14, 2014, 11:24:11 AM
Okay, that does sound good! :D I guess I will wait and see what Saja comes up with in her thread, though I should have two spots open in my custom swap list by the time this swap opens up.

I guess I should watch the movies at some point... I have only read the books :P

It seems like there is a lot of interest in a twisted fairytale swap instead (not hosted by me). Maybe I should hold off on HP? Or just run with it and maybe get fewer participants?

I know that I would be willing to join both :)

I say just run it! Otherwise if we wait it would probably run into the Halloween swap... there's probably always going to be some conflict, and there's no harm in joining two swaps (if you have room/time to do so.)

There will be. I'm still fine tuning the details

ETA: I will accept up to 20 participants. You'll be divided into basic/advanced, based on what kind of work you want to do. I will also accept beginners into this swap. This is a great opportunity for anyone starting out with customs or who doesn't have enough feedback to join the regular category. I will be on hand to answer any questions or to brainstorm ideas with anyone.

Boggart snape pony... be still my heart! <3 I love all your HP stuff, Salli. At one point I was making over my whole bedroom at my parents house to look like the gryffindor common room, so I had a ton of cool stuff gathered up - tapestries and rugs and a big red and gold painted plaster lion shield... Sadly most of it has since vanished D:

A vanishing dormroom drawer, I think! I mean the rugs and stuff I still have, but a lot of the decor items like hanging art and the big crest I know I packed and took to college but never put up, and I haven't seen them since!

Oh, no! That stinks most of it is gone. I'll be going to Universal Orlando at the end of May so I'll have to pick something up for my swap partner while I'm at Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'm really excited about this swap!

I wish I had time to join this swap.  Just too many things going on for me!

I've put myself on Salli's permanent waiting list.  When ever she's ready to make me more Snape ponies my monies will magically appear in her wallet lol.  I wish to monopolize the Salli made Snape pony market.  Usually you can find me in a dark corner holding  the Snape custom ponies while in my best Gollum voice saying "preeccciousssssss, my preccccioussssss".

I can't wait to see what everybody comes up with!  What an exciting thread!

UGH, jealous Mana! I am waiting for the one in california to open, but that's not supposed to be ready until 2016. I need to go with my best friend, because we met through an online Harry Potter RPG. And she lives in LA. I guess we could in theory go on a trip to florida together, but it makes more sense to wait.

(As it's obvious in my form, I would be from Ravenclaw and my Patronus would most likely be my late greyhound.)

Question, how did you guys find out what your patronus was? Did you just chose one or is there like a quiz you can take or something?

Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!
Post by: Midnight_Dream on April 17, 2014, 04:10:41 PM
Ravenclaws for the win!! :D I am one as well.

I found out my patronus(a wolf) through a quiz. I actually took several because....reasons. :P If you google it you will find plenty to choose from.
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!
Post by: NoDivision on April 17, 2014, 04:11:47 PM
I chose my patronus because I honestly believe that's what it would be if I were really a wizard XD Ever since I was a kid I've had an affinity for lions and have always seen them as protectors - probably came from reading the narnia books at a young age!
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!
Post by: puuush on April 17, 2014, 04:20:17 PM
Hm, Not sure about the House, i guess gryffindor. My patronus would be... A tiger? Or a budgie, but I'd prefer tiger. Lol

So much fun. ^^

Post by: ApertureScience on April 17, 2014, 06:40:45 PM
Just sent my application form in.  I'm kind of nervous about this because I can't remember much of the series past the third book. XD  But it's okay.

My coworkers introduced me to Pottermore recently.  It sorted me into Slytherin...  I don't see it in myself.  I see myself more as Hufflepuff or something.  It least the Slytherin common room is awesome, right?

Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!
Post by: Midnight_Dream on April 17, 2014, 07:23:07 PM
Or you can choose your patronus! XD It would be impossible for me to choose as there are several animals I really have an affinity for, so I let a quiz decide for me.

I wonder now...if anyone in the books ever had a Dragon patronus and it was just never mentioned. Can you imagine summoning something the size of Smaug and how scared the dementors would be?

Oh, I so wish I had feedback so that I could join as a beginner! If only I hadn't been guesting so long and started forum involvement when I first signed up.

I am such a huge HP fan! It's good to see so many Ravenclaws here! I would be so interested in an HP swap if you're ever doing this again in the future. Hopefully I'll have been involved enough by then to have done some things for feedback. Thanks for starting such a fun swap! It's great just to be able to see what people have done in the HP category.

I chose my patronus, though I guess it could be fun to see what quizzes would give me also :) Sonata, my greyhound, was the joy of my life so I think it fits.

I took couple of tests, one gave me frog and another wolf. Quite a difference between those two... XD

Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!

In quizzes I generally get a cat or feline of some kind, so I think I'm pretty on-point with my choice :)

Okay, I did third test regarding what my patronus would be and got a stag/doe. Needless to say I don't trust these tests much, each seems to give a different answer - or maybe I have an infinite number of patronuses depending on my mood? XD Nah, just kidding, it's just the tests. ;)

*chuckle* Yeah, I feel like I know myself and what's important to me a bit better than a random 10 question quiz.

I've loved Ravenclaw house forever and I was super nervous when I took the Pottermore quiz, but it sorted me in Ravenclaw too! YAy! Yep, I'm a nerd :D The sorting hat in the books takes a person's choice into account more than anything so even if you get sorted into a house you don't like, I feel like you would be in the house you want. Like when the hat wanted to put Harry into Slytherin.

I chose my patronus too. I had an imaginary friend who was a pegasus as a kid so it's kind of that. I should take a quiz though for fun. I feel like the quizes have such a limited number of outcomes. Like what if you love ocelots and there aren't any on there? Or iguanas? Or naked mole rats? I feel like it should be an animal you feel a connection with.
Ooo, a dragon would freaking rock. You'd have to be a Slytherin for that one for sure. Smaug as a patronus makes me wonder if I can just have Benedict Cumberbatch as my patronus....;) I wonder if you could have a sea creature as a patronus? Like a shark or jellyfish?

Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!
Post by: NoDivision on April 18, 2014, 08:11:56 AM
I know that there were wizards with a wooly mammoth and a giant for a patronus, so I don't see why you couldn't have a dragon! That would be awweeesome.
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - signing up! Beginners welcome!

A dragon patronus would be something else, that's for sure! :)

I was sorted (Pottermore) into Slytherin. I think my patronus would be a ferret. (the quiz gives me an otter....close enough. ferret is more me)

Pottermore put me in Hufflepuff. I'm pretty happy with that.

I did a Patronus quiz and got a Dolphin, which I'm not so chuffed with. Dolphins kinda creep me out.  :yikes:

Dolphins are the jerks of the ocean, so I say you patronus should be whatever you want it to be. ^.^ Personally, I kind of want to change mine to a Dragon now that we have been talking about it so much.

I bet Charlie Weasley had a dragon patronus....

Anywhoodle...Y'all need to quit yer wafflin' and join this swap!! :P

^ This was me too! I knew if I didn't sign up that once the brag thread started that I would actually start crying with regret.

I am so excited to get my partner's info! So many ponies I would love to make. Someday I should make a Gilderoy Lockheart pony, wouldn't that be so fun? Maybe with a little cage of blind-bag size Cornish pixie ponies XD

Glitter and metallics are awesome in moderate amounts, but please don't drown the custom in either if it's not necessary for your custom.  Not sure about flocking, I guess it could be nice :)

YAY! I am so excited about my partner!
A marathon is SUCH a great idea. I have to decide which inspiration to go with for this pony. So many awesome possibilities...

Styling Size: yes :)
Glitter: sure
Metallic: sure
Flocking: not unless what you are making REALLY needs to be flocked. I'm not a huge fan of it but I can imagine some customs that would kind of need to be flocked to work.
Matte/gloss: I prefer Matte, but whatever you want to do it fine :)
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - partners sent, start working!!!
Post by: NoDivision on May 05, 2014, 08:54:46 AM
Styling Size: If you want!
Glitter: sure.
Metallic: sure!
Flocking: If the piece requires it
Matte/gloss: I prefer a more matte finish on an overall pony with gloss where needed on accents of designs or whatnot.

Basically, do whatever you think is needed for the design. I'll trust my partner's vision :D

Styling Size: Yes. :)
Glitter: Sure
Metallic: Sure
Flocking: Not a huge fan of flocking, BUT if it works well with the custom design, go for it!
Matte/gloss: I like an overall matte finish with gloss accents/highlights if needed.

It takes 19hr 46 mins w/o factoring in time to switch out dvds and bathroom breaks.

not that I have done it >_> *ahem*

I am so anxious for wedding photos...I hope there are lots of photos of my custom chocolate frogs and tiny cauldrons and floating candles...I want to share! haha

my favorite movie is hard to judge....i love Azkaban....and Chamber....and Goblet....and basically all of them. An easier question to answer is which is your least favorite. That would be Order...cause Umbridge makes my skin crawl.


Styling Size: sure
Glitter: glitter is good
Metallic: good in moderation
Flocking: not a huge fan
Matte/gloss: I am a fan of matte, in general. Gloss for accents/in moderation.

Hmm... I think my favorite is either HBP or DH1, but SS was very special for me. Oh, geez, DH2 was good too.. Hmm...

Here's a pic my friend Toni drew me from Christmas. (My OC's name is Dr. Maslyn, and here my friend's OC is styled into Hagrid.) It's fashioned after one of my favorite scenes from SS. That face is how I feel about this swap right now. :lol: What do you think?

This might be a good question:

When descriptions from the book don't match the presentations in the movies, which do you prefer to see on your pony?

Personally, I don't have a preference, but it was a helpful question when brainstorming my work.

Personally, I don't have a preference, but it was a helpful question when brainstorming my work.

When it comes to Ravenclaw I strongly prefer blue & bronze house colors, as it is in the books.

For everything else, I don't really have a preference.

Hm... I guess it would depend specifically on the thing. I don't think I put too many things on my list that would be that different. When it comes to actual plot and characters I prefer staying true to the books, but I think the movies did a great job with the visual representation of the HP world.
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - partners sent, start working!!!
Post by: Salli on May 06, 2014, 07:35:25 PM
Fave movie: Chamber of Secrets (I <3 Lucius in that one, but I hate the spiders!). I also love the first film even though the centaurs make me pull my hair out just because it's so fun kind of being reintroduced to everyone. :) (My favorite book is the 3rd but it's my least favorite movie because the director SUCKED.)

Movie vs. book accuracy: It just depends. I like the black/blue Ravenclaw from the later movies, but I like the book's version of the centaurs. I usually lean towards movie though. I think... :lookround:

Pony update: In a rare couple of efficient days I got a bunch of sculpting done. I was lucky enough to have the bait I needed. If it comes together really quickly I may make a second pony (no sculpting needed on that one) just because it was so hard to decide between the 2 ideas I drew up and I want to make it!)

Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 06, 2014, 09:18:42 PM
What is everyone's favorite book? Mine is hands down Goblet of Fire as that is when the story really "grew up" in my opinion and sooooo much happened in it.

Favorite movie: DH1 as it is the only movie that really followed the book.

I am very...uptight about the movies in comparison to the books as my first taste to the entire series was the movies and I was not all that impressed, but once I read the books (Started after Half-Blood Prince came out) I was in love. And the butchering of the fourth movie... I literally can not watch that movie anymore as so much was taken from it and just...no. /end mini rant.

Glitter: Yes, but don't over do it.
Metallic: Same as with glitter.
Flocking: No thank you.
Gloss or Matte: I prefer a matte finish

I prefer the books, but I can live with the movie versions, too. The movies did pretty good job on visualizing the books, so for this swap go ahead and use them as an inspiration if you haven't read the books.

Fav movie?
Hard one. I guess everything after the three first movies, the first three were a pain to watch through for me... XD It was a shame as Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book.

I won't throw fakies at you :D But you will LOVE them. So MUCH happens in the books that doesn't in the movies. They left out whole characters! I keep wanting to read the UK versions of the books. I saw a list of the terms they changed to publish the US versions and I was shocked! i.e. torch for flashlight etc...

Question: You are a Hogwarts student and it's a sunny Saturday afternoon  (and all of your homework is done). Where would we likely find you?

I'm thinking I'd be in the library anyway, dueling other Ravenclaws in the Transfiguration courtyard (anyone else play HP on XBox?) or pestering the ghosts asking them about themselves and their lives.

Bit late to the question-answering party, but here goes: 

Styling Size:  No objections here.
Glitter:  As long as it's not flaky and making a mess, I'm cool with it.
Metallic:  Sure.
Plain/Matte:  Also fine.
Flocking:  Not too fond of this, to be honest.
Books or Movies:  Either for 1-6, but I could never finish the 7th book, so I'd prefer the movies in that one's case.
Phrases:  Either context is fine.  I actually can't think of anywhere this one would apply, as far as what I like in the series.
Where would I be:  Probably just wandering the halls, admiring the architecture, and looking for secret passages and shortcuts.  I used to love doing that in the video games, as well as messing with the prefects at night. XD

Did I miss anything...?

THIS! Admittedly I have seen the movies more, because its easy.
But I have read the series at least 10 times...and I swear every time I re-read them, I fall in love with the details all over again <3
the HP book flowers are awesome!!
and I have a few shots of the wedding decor!
The table decor! The tops of the jars each had a different HP book art on it  (cauldron idea from nodivision)

Favorite Book:  Chamber of Secrets.  Same for movie, but I prefer the book.

I'm a fan of book and movies 1-3.  When it starts getting darker is when I start losing interest; I think that's why I was never able to finish the 7th book.  It's weird...

@Jupi:  Those are so cool!  I love the wands, and the chocolate frog looks great. :D

the cauldrons have tulle and electric tea lights in them ^_^

Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - partners sent, start working!!!
Post by: Uninu on May 08, 2014, 12:30:06 AM
What I would be doing:
I would most likely be in the library, wolfing down information as much as I could. I would most likely be from a muggle family after all.

Poses I don't care about:
Hum. G3 Donkey pose and G3 core six pose. For G1 everything is fine and for G2 I don't care about the magic motion ponies/the ponies with moving limbs.


edited to add: Finally decided what to do for my partner :D I had the idea ready, but I had two options how to make it and now I managed to decide which option to choose.

And a list of my likes in general (pony & non-pony) can be found here: General Likes for Swap Ideas (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,353297.msg1158935.html#msg1158935)

The links to both of those posts are also in my sig for easy access. ;)

You are a Hogwarts student and it's a sunny Saturday afternoon (and all of your homework is done). Where would we likely find you?
Hmm. Probably in the library reading, or maybe in the courtyard reading under a tree.

For those who read the books, which is your favorite?
My favorite is Half Blood Prince, second favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban.

Partner, are there any poses that you don't care for?
G1 Dislikes: Tootsie pose, Collectors pose, Bride pose, "looking" flutter pose, any BBE pose
G2 Dislikes: any magic motion pose
G3 Dislikes: broken neck pose, walking pose, donkey pose
G3.5 Dislikes: everything :P

Oh snap! It might be a stupid question, but what did you make the wands out of? Also, did the books have actual spells in them form the books/movies? Because that would just be too adorable for words.

And just soes ya know, Jupi, I would be more than happy to take those reject frogs off your hands.  :dribble:

Poses I don't like:
Broken neck
Donkey
Walking

I'm a Ravenclaw. I sorted myself into Ravenclaw when I first got into Harry Potter. All the online quizzes I've taken have given me the result of Ravenclaw. And when Pottermore came out, it sorted me into Ravenclaw as well. I attended all the midnight movie opening and midnight book release parties dressed as a Ravenclaw, complete with a scarf that my father made for me. Ravenclaw suits me very well, I love to read and to learn. After all, "Wit beyond measure is man's greatets treasure." ;)

the wands are actually chopsticks, hot glue and paint. I had faaaaaaaar too much fun making them! and yes, the spell books have 75+ spells in them ^_^ (the magic word, and what they do)


as for sorting, I always said Gryffindor, but I was Pottermore sorted into Slythern

oh and I don't have any poses that I don't like...I have seen them all work well for particular customs. I will say my favorite pose is seaspray (I seem to like the less common poses - haha)

Post by: NoDivision on May 08, 2014, 11:36:38 AM
At one point I read an article and discussion about the pottermore sorting algorithm and it turns out it was basically just one step above random assignment. So I don't put much stock in what pottermore says.

And at any rate, remember that personal choice plays a part in house sorting anyway :P

I found the first 4 books on CD at the thrift store near my house for $5. I have all the books and prefer to read myself, but my sister prefers listening to the CDs. So I bought them for her and she loves them. The actress who plays Luna Lovegood is Evanna Lynch, I only know because she is my favorite character. ;)

I have my idea, hair ordered, and design chosen. Now I just need to select the perfect bait, which is easier said than done because I am picky. :P

Post by: puuush on May 09, 2014, 12:53:01 AM
I was looking through the boxes I packed for ebay years ago and found... TWO BAGS OF PONYS! (Not that I wouldn't have had enough bait (two boxes) to choose from, but now I have three boxes. Yay.
Hair should be no problem too. *eyes the 50+ hair colours in the box*

Still torn between two ideas, but both would be totally cool.

Questions:

I prefer the books. But the visuals are quite good in the movies, so feel free to mix from both to your liking. :)

Where would I be: With Hagrid trying to breed dragons. Or down at the lake swimming with the giant squid.

Poses I don't care about (but which are totally fine to use if it fits the custom):
G1 Quackers pose because they always tip over. lol.
G1 ballerina baby poses.

I love all the G3 poses. Incl. Donkey, broken neck and all the rest.

Jupi, all of your decor and wedding EVERYTHING looks and sounds amazing! What a memorable wedding :D

I'm a die-hard Ravenclaw. I even got sorted by Pottermore into it. Sounds like a lot of us will be in the library :D I also forgot that I might be at a S.P.E.W. meeting.

ApertureS: Messing with the prefects sounds awesome! Except I am a prefect ;) I know, I can  mess with the other prefects. lol.

I am so freaking excited about this swap, the pony and the extras I am gathering. I am already hoping someone hosts another HP swap sometime soon after this ends XD Hannliten: my pony is coming along nicely (crosses fingers).

I watched the Goblet yesterday and forgot how annoyed I was at EVERYTHING that got left out. But it's okay, I will have to re-read the book. At least they didn't leave out the Draco/ferret moment.

Bases are okay.

I also prefer non-sculpted hair; I would love for the creation to be able to look great hanging out next to other brushables. I like nylon better, but other types are fine too.

Hmm, I guess for some of my lists' things it could be fine, but I do prefer customs with hair.

Post by: Jennifer2004 on May 15, 2014, 07:08:10 AM
Dear partner what is your hair type preferences?
I prefer brushable hair, nylon is my favorite but other types are great too, like saran, polypropylene, kanekalon, etc. I'm not a big fan of yarn or mohair (perfume puff).  I'm also not a big fan of sculpted hair. Although I have seen some customs with sculpted hair that look great, so if you think that's what would work best for the custom you have in mind then I'm sure it will be great partner.

Also would my partner be ok if a design has no hair (at least in the sense of pony hair)?
I do prefer customs with hair. However, if you think a custom with no hair works best for the design you have in mind then I will trust your judgment partner.

No hair is fine since some of the things on my list have no hair ;)

Finished my movie watch-a-thon. The last film makes me so annoyed at the flying robes of death scene and the face-groping-'are they going to kiss?-scene with Harry and Voldy that they made just to "look cool" on 3-D. I cry every time Harry goes to die. Also when Snape cries over Lily. Neville rocks!! (And HOW did Matthew Lewis grow into a handsome man? I am baffled.)

Griffin Door, haha punny. Makes you wonder if they did that in the movies on purpose, cause in the books they just say it's "a gargoyle"

Dragons: green!
Hippogriff: if not Buckbeak, then I love the idea of a chestnut blanket appaloosa :heart: or a palomino!
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - partners sent, start working!!!
Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 17, 2014, 11:55:00 PM

Hippogriff: I am in the same boat as Jupi; Appaloosa or Palomino. :heart:

Post by: cloverofmist on May 18, 2014, 09:05:33 AM
Dragon: greens with gold tones or purples with blue tones

Like Buckbee.. I like greys with black and white tones
Title: Re: Harry Potter swap - partners sent, start working!!!
Post by: ApertureScience on May 18, 2014, 05:25:15 PM
Hair Type:  Prefer brushable to sculpted.
No Hair:  If it's appropriate for the design, like if you were doing a Hippogriff, then sure.
Colors of Hippogriffs/Dragons:  I remember in the Prisoner of Azkaban video game for GameCube, there were three other colors of hippogriffs:  black, gold, and red.  I loved all of them, but I love Buckbeak too, so that would be fine.  As for dragons, I dig earthy tones.

I'm on holidays in Lisbon for the week so I can't work on the custom. But I will when I come home. :)
 
Hair: nylon and Saran and mohair are fine, I don't like yarn or poly... Sculpted is fine too.
No hair: sure, when it fits the design. :)

Dragon: black/gold, white/red, icy blues, or tropical venomous colours. Or whatever you have in mind.

Hippogriffs: Andalusian dappled grey. Or whatever fits. ^^

I like earth tones and neutrals for mythical creatures such as hippogriffs and dragons, but I'm open to all colors. I don't think "no hair" works for any of my ideas, but I bet it would work for certain things in certain cases.

I just finished rehairing! I tried something new with the colors that was fun! I hope the styling stage goes well! Have a lot to do still, but I think this is my favorite part.

I was using my x-acto to cut off the ponies head, and my 2 year old was watching me. She then proceeded to take one of the plastic spoons from her play kitchen, and pretended to cut on the head of a different bait. It was so cute :heart:

now to shift thru my hair stash and make sure I have the colors I need.

I already despise the time I will have to rehair... the bait is so hard it will cost me at least two needles... *sigh* Any ideas how to soften up the neckline when you did a full body repaint?

I've heard some people mention using a heating pad (or you could probably use a hot water bottle) and letting the head rest on it. I would thing that might warm and soften it just a little without risking damage to the paint.

Hair at the ready and design selected. I just need to choose the right bait and start painting. Do I want a pegasus or an earth base? Choices, choices.

All checked in :D

Hannaliten, if you are a beginner, I hate to think what that makes the rest of us... ;)

The heating pad thing is such a great tip- I'll have to remember that one.

NoD, you are doing 2 ponies? I'm still thinking about doing a second one. I wonder if a small g3 McD's pony would be okay. Or maybe I'll just do the whole enchilada. I guess I'll see how time plays out.

Wow.  Woooooow...  Okay, so, my partner had an animal of sorts on her list, right?  I drew it, but had trouble with the bottom half, so I tried to have the bottom half kind of fade off in a ghostly manner (which also suited the background), and the ghostly fade somehow ended up looking like a seahorse tail.  And the animal isn't even close to resembling a seahorse. XD  Yeah, maybe I should fix that...

I like the concept. Smoothing her out more might help you. I find it to be a tedious piece of sculpting that takes practice (I'm still practicing), but working on that aspect has helped my projects.

No problem, most of us can improve in some areas.

Question: What is your favorite quote from the HP series (books or movies)?
Dumbledore has so many great quotes. Quotes that make me ponder my life. I'll have to pick one. But for fun, 2 of my favorites are in the CoS movie. I LOVE when Draco says 'I didn't know you could read', Tom Felton does such a fantastic job there. He's not even being mean, he's actually baffled. Love it. And when Lucius is in Hagrid's hut and says "You call this a house?" he does the same thing, normally he would be saying that in a mean spirit but he is honestly perplexed by the fact. So good. Makes me laugh every time.

Question: What is your favorite quote from the HP series (books or movies)?
So hard to choice just a few lol
Harry Potter: Aren't your feet cold?
Luna Lovegood: A bit. But all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared. I suspect the Nargles are behind it.
Ron:"It's Levi-OOOOH-sa not LevioSAR." She's a nightmare, honestly. It's no wonder she hasn't got any friends!

Ok working on this pony and doing some research I now know I MUST read these books lol Im off to the book shop this week to get the last installment of mortal instruments so I think I will see if I can a grab a copy of the first book x

erm....I use so many HP quotes on a daily basis, that I don't know that I could pick just one...or 5....or 10. as seen by my list for this swap (sorry partner) I can't narrow down my HP favs, because I fav them all...Except Umbridge.

Post by: aintnobuffalo on June 02, 2014, 03:08:20 PM
Yes, it so hard to choose a quote! There are so many good ones. And yes, Umbridge the worst! Probably the worst person in the books. I feel like Voldemort is less evil in some respects.

I suppose if I had to choose just a couple quotes I would pick when Luna says "You're just as sane as I am" and "Words, in my most humble opinion, are the most inexhaustible source of magic we have" from Dumbledore. Dumbledore has soooo many great things to say though.

I dunno, when my bestie and I are having bad days with our super drama queen kids we have been known to text "You know... I really hate children." which we don't really mean but it makes us laugh to quote her.

I think I love "Of course it's all in your head, but why should that mean it's not real?" the best.

I also love everything Luna says. She's so great.

Post by: NoDivision on June 02, 2014, 04:30:53 PM
There are a few I say a lot, haha. Most of them come from Ron. I love the way Rupert plays Ron, he does a great job pulling off the 'I'm a teenage boy and so I'm not always as sharp as I could be' thing and being very genuine and lovable.

One that comes up a LOT is 'Why couldn't it be follow the butterflies?' Because there is a butterfly exhibit at my job, and it's the next building down from mine, so sometimes people come in and need direction. And we have these giant butterfly flag/sculpture things that lead over to the gardens. So I literally get to tell people to follow the butterflies.

One of my all time favorites is this scene

I love the scene where the spiders want Ron to tap-dance :heart:

One of my favorites, that I also use a lot is
"Don't let the Muggles get you down" - Ron
(used a lot in conversation also, "no post on sundays" and "I shouldn't have said that, I should not have said that" and "I WAS DISTRAUGHT!" and "why couldn't it be follow the butterflies" and "I'd like a nice cup of tea, or a large brandy" .......we have also have "always" engraved in our wedding bands)

other favorites are:
"Actually, I'm highly logical, which allows me to look past extraneous detail and perceive clearly that which others overlook." - Hermione

"You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach" -Hermione (that whole scene is brilliant)

"You may not like him Minister....but you can't deny...Dumbledore's got style" -Kingsley (movie) Phineas (book)


Harry: "Hagrid warned me about the dragons."
Ron: "No, I did! Don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you! Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out."
Harry: "Who... who could possibly figure that out? It's completely mental. "

"I suspect the Nargles are behind it" - Luna

"Anyway, my mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end." - Luna

"I don't think you're a waste of space" - Dudley

"She needs to sort out her priorities" - Ron

"Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself. Think of it this way; every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?" - Harry

 "Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby's tea cozy." - Ron

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" - Dumbledore

 'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.' - Dumbledore

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" ' Dumbledore (he has sooooo many good quotes)

"The ones that love us never really leave us." - Sirius (we used this one on the memorial at the wedding)

"The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in one night, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons! " - McGonagall

Mad-Eye Moody: "For those of you who haven't taken Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning. It tastes like goblin piss."
Fred: "Have a lot of experience with that, do you, Mad-Eye? ...Just trying to defuse the tension."

I could probably go on all night XD

You guys have some great quotes!! I'd forgotten about some of them :) The spiders and the tap dancing scene was so perfect.

Around here, when my kids are acting spoiled and demanding, I say to my husband "36?!?!!! But last year I had 37!!"

Also, when Umbridge asks Snape if he failed to get the post of teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts position and he says, "Obviously." It's so perfect. Although everything Snape says is perfect. I'm always amazed at how Alan Rickman looks nothing like the Snape JK described but how he so owned that role.

Random question: You know the movie scene in Prisoner of Azkaban where they are casting at the boggart? Am I the only one who finds that freakish clown jack-in-the-box to be wayyyy scarier than the snake?? I saw the clown thing in an exhibit and it was even creepier in person.

Depending on where you ordered from, well, I wouldn't count on it. Most of the time it's months (and sometimes months and months and months) before colors get restocked. You may need to start looking for someone on the arena to trade or buy from.

Progress is going well here. I'm still working on base construction at the moment while the pony itself is at a standstill.

Yes, I miss the activity in this thread!

I've been working on an accessory today. The miniature scale is giving me a literal headache, but I hope it turns out as a fun addition. I just got a new job, so my buying of supplies has been delayed a few weeks, but I've got a good plan to keep me on deadline.

Anyone else working on some fun accessories? I've got three planned, not including clothing. One done, one in progress, and one planned (we'll see how it goes for do-ablity in the real world of a newbie). Actual pony is waiting on some supplies. Got two small extras in mind too, if I have some time at the end. It's just such a fun theme not to!

I can't wait to see everyone's brags! There are so many talented people in here!

Oh, and has anyone put a magnet in a G4 head before? I've seen how people do it with larger model generations, and I have heard of it being done successfully on a G4, but I was wondering the difficulty of it.

Thought a bit and ended up deciding to do the base coat darker than originally planned as I think it'll make the pony's other parts pop out more. :)

So glad everyone seems to be having good luck with their ponies :)

I have a question: What non-cannon couples are you a fan of, if any? I've always liked Lucius and Hermione but I wouldn't have liked that if it was actually in the story XD I just associate with Hermione and love Lucius. My best friend likes the Draco/Hermione pairing. Also, what do you think of the Neville/Luna thing they did in the movie?

In the newest short that Jo wrote from Rita Skeeter's perspective she says that Luna married Rolf Scamander (grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander)  and Neville married Hannah Abbott.
Tho, I too always thought they belonged together.

The stuff on Pottermore is all written by JK herself. I just read a fascinating bio she wrote about Remus. It made me cry. The reason I don't like Sirius/Remus is that before the 3rd film came out I had a huge crush on Sirius. I am still mad she killed him. I'm also mad they cast Gary Oldman as Sirius, since I wanted Hugh Jackman to play him. Poor Sirius :( I even wrote most of a fanfic explaining how he wasn't really dead, but that was before Harry saw him as a ghost on the way to the forest to face Voldy.

we have no ac here. It's not really worth it for only a couple of weeks. Hubby has been out of town on business trips a lot lately, so the kids and I have camped in the living room where it's cooler than upstairs at least.

Ok everyone, most of you have received an address from me. If so, you have been cleared to ship. If you didn't get one either you or your partner have not checked in with me. Everyone should ship by Friday, unless you contact me for an extension.

Given the cost of overseas shipping I think it is perfectly fine for them to not have extras. I mean, if you can afford it then more power to you, but....Bah! I am not even shipping overseas, so I don't even know why I am throwing in my two cents.

International shipping has gotten insanely expensive. No worries at all :D (Mine isn't international ;) ) I just CANNOT help myself on a Harry Potter Swap. It's hard for me to not send a trunk full of everything Hogwarts. Instance #5,438 where I WISH I had Hermione's bag from the Deathly Hallows.

I just took pictures. Will pack up and hopefully make it to the PO tomorrow

Edit: I took pictures and noticed a large yellow spot that wasn't there all the hours I was painting...and it won't come off. So I have to figure out a fix...probably extending the symbol :/
Aaaaand my internet is out...most likely until Saturday. Grrrrrrr
I will try and ship this weekend, after a few minutes crying in the corner.

Finally the swap pony arrived, apologized and sneezed floo powder. Apparently she was lost in Knockturn Abbey, tried to apparate to my place, mixed up the address, studied a year in hogwarts, became quidditch champion, found a way to conjure food, befriended a Blast-Ended Skrewt and now finally found her way to me.

I'm super happy that she arrived, is in one piece and looks stunningly fabulous. Thank you Jupi, she is perfect - the paintwork, the colours, the hair, the pose. Everything!!! :frolic: YAAAAY!
