Title: Hello!
Post by: CrystalLance on January 29, 2012, 01:30:11 PM: Hello everyone! I am one of the more recent recruits to the hobby of MLP but when I was a child my cousin had tons of the older ones that I adored. We'd spend hours having the ponies go on epic adventures to save princesses, save worlds and make new friends of the kingdoms near by. I have many fond memories from that time and now, after getting into Friendship is Magic my love for ponies has been rekindled :).

I currently have all the fashion style ponies minus Twilight and Applejack and a number of the smaller ponies. I currently don't have any of the older ponies but would love to slowly acquire some and who knows, maybe start modding.

I'm an art student full time majoring in illustration and yes, I have been drawing ponies recently. I've even done pony versions of characters that weren't ponies to start! I also do sculpture and collect and photograph asian ball jointed dolls in my free time. I'm not a pro with a camera by far but it's tons of fun, especially when I surround my crankiest doll with the ponies :lol: .

Anyway, hello all and I hope to have a lot of fun here!

Listening to your childhood pony adventures totally reminded me of how my friend and I used to play with our ponies. I'd love to see some of your art work. Please feel free to post some pony related pics in the Art forum for us to look at :frolic:

Thank you kiwimlp! That's really cool that you used to go on pony adventures too. I have posted some of my stuff up in the artist's area and I'm sure that pretty soon there will be more on the way. Something about these cheerful little ponies is just so addicting.

Hello and Welcome to the Arena!

So glad to have you here!

Aww, thanks and it's really nice to be here. It's really cool being in a place where no one rolls their eyes at you for collecting ponies. My sister just doesn't get it :lol: .

Thank you and I certainly did. I honestly think that it's one of the things that inspired me to become an active role player with some friends and my sister. She and I have been doing story telling style for years :). I still remember the time that my cousin and I had the ponies going from land to air, and then air to sea to try and rescue princess Buttercup from the clutches of the evil marionettes and return her to her father, the king of the sea :biggrin: .

Thank you! Ha ha, to begin with I wasn't interested in collecting the dolls either but now I own six full ones and two floating heads. We have meets at the anime cons nearby too (Acen is the one I've been to) and I certainly am planning on some crossovers. If you have any questions about the dolls, feel free to ask me. I have been collecting since 2007.

Just checked out your intro thread and that is pretty cool that you are one of the guys doing bronyradio!
As for a quick sample of one, here is a picture of my newest boy with my G4s :frolic: .

That Giant mass of pink in the back is Pinkie's mane. Also, as soon as my new ponies come in there will be more pictures with the BJD, specifically my poor put upon centaur XD.

Thank you so much and very happy to be here. I agree, making up stories for them is a lot of fun and perhaps I'll get to doing some photostories along the way. I've done some for my other dolls so why not ponies right?

Thank you and I sure do! Jut finished washing down my first ponies for custom too so I am totally excited :happy: . The Tutorials here were amazingly helpful in getting rid of scuff marks, and how to get the tails out. I still need some needle nose or curved nose pliers to get the plugs out but that's nothing a little trip to the old craft store can't fix.
