Customs / Re: G3 Hair Tinsel?
« on: June 18, 2022, 06:47:42 AM »
I know it's called iridescent tinsel. Here's a link to a sell page. Hope that helps. It seems to be still in stock. https://shimmerlocks.com/opal
Oh, wow, I checked Shimmerlocks as well and also missed this! :whoa:
I'm a little confused by it being pink though! I really can't tell much pink in the originals, I wonder if the Shimmerlocks option just doesn't look pink once you get it separated maybe?

Iridescent film is very dependent on the color of things around it and the kind of light hitting it. Behind a white background, it's noticeably pink and behind a black background, it's noticeably green. ;)

Haha, thanks BlackCurtains. ^^
I see! Thank you so much! You made short work of it haha

Ohh, I see. So I guess that's why the Preservation Project only lists Sulky then I guess. That makes sense.

Customs / G3 Hair Tinsel?
« on: June 17, 2022, 10:15:40 PM »
I would really love to get my hands on some replacement tinsel for my G3 ponies but everywhere I look I only find replacements for G1 and G2 ponies, including on the Preservation Project. I don't know if no one's noticed the difference or there's just no supply, but it would break my heart to use G1-style tinsel for G3 restorations and customs when I've always loved the G3-style tinsel.

Try as I might, I can't find a suitable replacement for this kind of tinsel on my own. Can we use our collective powers to try and track something down?


So what's the difference? (My apologies for photo quality, it's the best I can do at night.)

In the first image I've used two G1 ponies, but the tinsel is the same for G2s. It's flat, shiny, completely opaque, and the colors are vibrant and wildly different depending on the pony.

In the second image is a G3 pony with tinsel. It's flat, holographic, transparent, and is the same on every pony. It's a bit difficult to properly capture its traits on camera, but when the light hits it it mostly appears to have a pale blue-green color, but will show other pale colors depending on the angle. It reminds me of the tinsel you find in an easter basket.

(Gosh this makes it look like I just have tinsel ponies everywhere haha, but um..... well, maybe I kinda do. I love tinsel ponies.)

I no longer need a roomie, thank you! ^^

I'm making plans to go to the Texas PFF convention during November of this year (2022), but I was hoping someone would be willing to room with me to cut costs! I'll be staying at the con's official hotel, the Drury Plaza Hotel, for 4 nights - Nov 3 to Nov 7. There are two separate queen-sized beds, I have already reserved the room.

If anyone is interested please post or message me! I am also on the Trading Post:

I am okay with (but would not prefer) dogs and kids, but I am allergic to perfumes and flowery scents. As I am new to a lot of things about this I'd like to get to know anyone a little who might be my roomie. ^^

It's just because, if it's a website I also have an account on, I'd rather that account be credited than my Arena account.
Oh, I see! That makes sense~

I have a few other projects going on atm, but I'll be sure to get your adoptable done in between them. It'll probably take a little longer, though. :art: And yes, you may post offsite, just let me know which sites you'd like to post on first.

That's okay! Thank you! ^^

As for where, at the moment the only outside place I'm considering is the MLP Trading Post. I'm not on a lot of forums and things these days, maybe I could end up using it on Buzzly.art or heaven forbid Subeta if I ever return to it, but it's a long shot.

May I ask as well, why is it important to know where I'll be using it?

Pony ref/description:

I don't really have a proper "single image" kind of ref, so here are a few different ones.

Her name is Daylight Glisten, and her mane and tail shift and shimmer with the light like water. As a general rule, it generally turns blue and sparkles in the light, while the dark parts have a soft neutral gradient. Exactly how it looks however is up for interpretation, even I don't keep it the same every time so feel free to do it the way you want to.

I want the regular pony features, please <3 And I do not want a tail ribbon, just to avoid any confusion given my reference.

Scarf pattern and color(s): White and extra soft/fluffy?
Your favorite season: Spring~

If may use it offsite, like as a signature in different places. Is that okay?

Pony Corral / MiB G2 Glitter Pony is Sticky! HELP
« on: March 10, 2021, 12:30:53 PM »
I just got my order of a bunch of G2 ponies, including one Mint in Bag/Box (box had already been opened but I think most things inside had not) G2 Queen Sunsparkle (glittery) and quickly noticed she was sticking to the bag. When I pulled the bag away from her I could tell something was definitely wrong, the bag was discolored and had that pattern on it that you get when you pull wet glue away. I had to take her out, and when I did I realized it was way worse than I thought, most of her is sticky, especially her back legs. :whoa:

What do I do?! Can I fix this? I'm a little worried that if I tried to clean her off it would either make things worse or remove the glitter. At the moment I've just stood her up to give her a little air.

 :yikes:

I finally figured out that the source of my constant migraines over the last couple of months has been a number of candles I'd had nearby, even though I'd been putting them in plastic wrap thinking that would help. I moved those out, so now that I'm feeling better I'm doing my body a favor by finally getting some proper sleep while I recover.
 :relaxed: :lovey: :zzz:

I've been re-watching Fairy Tail with my two kitten plushies to chill out for the past couple of days haha. First time I've watched anime in a long time and I'm really enjoying it. I caught a cold too, so I've been curled up in a cute Halloween blanket drinking peppermint tea.

Waaah! She's wonderful, thank you! :happy: :lovey:

Oh I love these, I agree I really liked how the ponies looked in the 80s cartoons :) If you have time I'd love one of my ponysona Creatrix please :3
Your pony is so wonderful too! Her design is lovely. :D

Oh my gosh, thank you everyone :D
Aeryala was talking with me about it a bit in DMs, I don't know how that's going to turn out but maybe some of us could make a small group? I tried out a neat quiz that said I'd probably do well as a human monk, so for lack of much of a preference I was thinking of starting out with that. I guess the characters everyone would play would probably depend on the campaign, right? Do you guys have any campaign preferences?
