Title: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Entries closed!]
Post by: Colorscapesart on April 06, 2014, 12:03:25 PM
Welcome to the Second Fakie Appreciation Contest!

Fakie ponies come in a delicious array of shapes and sizes from "omg that's NOT a My Little Pony?" to "back away slowly....." and from time to time it can be fun as an artist to try something new!  They are cheap, easy to find, and for the most part follow the same customization rules!  So let's see what happens as our amazing Arena artists come together for....adventures in customizing!

Rules:
1. Contest is open to ANY Arena member.
2. Contest will be judged entirely by public vote, so even mods can play if they like.
3. Contest will begin officially on April 20th. Participants will post a before pic of their pony before the contest starts.  (Members can enter any time, even after the 20th, they will just have less time.  They just need to post a pic of their before fakie.)
4.  There will be TWO divisions, a Hasbro-mold division and a non-Hasbro mold division, members are allowed to enter each division one time, for two total entries if desired.
5. I require at least three entries in a division to award prizes.   
6. Ponies may be prepped for baiting before 4/20 but do not begin work until that date!  Use the time before for planning and/or ordering supplies.
7. It is not required but encouraged to post in the chatter thread (this thread) for fun.  You may show WIP pics if you like but are not obligated to. 

If you have any questions about whether or not a fakie is a Hasbro mold, feel free to ask!

Prizes! [pics coming soon!]
~Basic G4 custom commission from Hannaliten!
~G4zilla Pinkie Pie (loose)
~A basic custom commission (including Flame Kissed pony if desired) from myself
~2 hanks of Dollyhair (random colors)
~2 Prepped DG fakie babies (teal and lavender)

Non-Hasbro mold ponies are MORE of a challenge.  As such, the order for the awarding of prizes is as follows:
1st choice: 1st place winner of non-Hasbro division
2nd choice: 1st place winner of Hasbro division
3rd choice: 2nd place winner of non-Hasbro division
4th choice: 2nd place winner of Hasbro division

Winners will have one week to select a prize after receiving notification before their choice is skipped and we move on to the next winner.  Shipping of prizes will be FREE within the US.  For international winners, I would appreciate it if you could chip in half the shipping costs.


Dates:
4/6 - 4/20 Sign ups/Bait selection time
4/20 Begin!
6/1 Contest End!  Any entries received after 6/1 will not be eligible for voting.
6/3 Voting Begins!
6/7 Voting Ends, Winners Announced

Ooo, I'll join this one! I would like to do an entry for the non-hasbro mold :)

Here is my before picture of Violet Fuji, the bait I will be using for the contest (she came to me without hair, so I guess that's a bonus) She is also pictured with her brother, Diamond Dasher for comparison:

I don't have any fakies that are non hasbro mold, so I'm going to have to go hunting!

Here they be! They're Lanard ©2003. The baby is pretty adorable, imo.

I might actually have to dig thru the bait drawer of shame to see if any of the dreaded fakies speak to me or not... We shall see.. =P

I'd like to enter, but I don't know if I could ever customise one of my fakies. I'll have to think about it :)

Post by: Katika on April 07, 2014, 07:15:29 PM
This has me greatly intrigued... I'll go digging through my bait bag and see what I can find.  Are the customs-to-be limited only by our imaginations here?  Or are there any themes or such that we're supposed to aim for?

I'm definitely thinking about entering, but I'm not sure. My customs are usually spur of the moment, done over a few evenings, with no plan or guarantee.

Well, there is NO obligation! :)  You are welcome to join in for fun and if something comes up, that's ok!

I was talking to my husband about this contest, and he's really getting into it.

So much so, that he actually made an account here on the arena just to be able to participate!  :biggrin:

I'm so excited!  I have a regular size fakie all picked out now- need to photograph her!
I also got one of those pink zebra BB fakies that I think would be fun (just in case I never get the big one finished) 

Title: Contest entry
Post by: Aednatia on April 09, 2014, 10:17:27 AM
Found my fakie, non hasbro mold entry.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

 She is so tiny and the head doesn't come off, I should have picked an easier fakie

Are we allowed to change our fakie if we mess up? (Like if I crack the head open trying to do the hair and she can't be fixed)
Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Fakie Hunting Time! Starts 4/20]
Post by: Colorscapesart on April 09, 2014, 10:46:13 AM
Yep, you can change!

Also, big happy announcement! The incredible hannaliten has added a basic custom commission from her to the prize pool!! Whoa!

Question-  by "Hasbro mold" does that mean, literally, made based on a Hasbro mold?  So probably the ponies that look a LOT like the Hasbro ponies would fall into this category?

So would these ones be considered Hasbro molds since they are similar to Hasbro molds even if not exact?  visitors can't see pics , please register or login

And then the non-Hasbro mold fakies are ponies like Remco and Lanard fakies, right?
Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Fakie Hunting Time! Starts 4/20]
Post by: Colorscapesart on April 09, 2014, 04:14:04 PM
I think in the purple pony's case, she is different enough due to her body to be non-Hasbro.  The second pony is Hasbro based.

Just need to pick out some fakies and I am totally in! I have a question though, I recently got some fakies at Dollar Tree that look like G3 donkey pose ponies but they are roughly the size of a G3 baby, would they count at as hasbro or no? If you need I can try and get a pic up of them later.

I think those are hasbro mold even though they're small.

TR, those are actually about the size of a G4.  But oh so cute!!    Fakie decisions!!!

sounds like alot of fun!!
are we allowed to post test customs, and then a final submission?
i'm gonna join the non-hasbro.
don't think i own any hasbro like fakies. XD

Post by: BlackCurtains on April 09, 2014, 07:21:37 PM
All prepped! Gotta say I'm impressed with the quality. Very nice paint job (that I have now stripped, lol), especially around the eyes. Even the nostrils and lips were lined with a pale pink. So, go Lanard! You make some pretty decent toys  ^.^
Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Fakie Hunting Time! Starts 4/20]
Post by: NoDivision on April 09, 2014, 07:24:38 PM
Yeah. I've discovered while bait hunting for this that the actual Lanard ponies are quite nice. It's the fakie lanards that get a bit scary, heh.
Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Fakie Hunting Time! Starts 4/20]
Post by: Colorscapesart on April 09, 2014, 07:48:21 PM
A Hasbro mold pony is any pony that is identical is appearance, this includes those with a bigger or smaller scale.

you know what? I have fakies and I think this might give me the kick in the butt to try to give them a better life and customize them.

I'm in the exact same situation! I have two who I have "started working on" which means one has her hair removed and the other has her paint removed (the poor girl didn't really have much hair left). so I'm basically nowhere with them. in this state, would one of them qualify as my entry (do they still count as "prepped for baiting, work not yet begun")? I think I have "before" pics of both of them.

I am sorely tempted to do this...my excuse for not customising is that I only ever use decals cos I can't paint finely to save my life (no practice, dodgy hands). Maybe this will give me the boot up the bum I need to get round to actually seeing how bad I really am :D

Ooo! Can I join the non-hasbro category? I have a bunch at the bottom of a drawer. They aren't as cute as some of your guys' fakies but they need love too. Hmmm, I'll go pick one.

BlackCurtains, your ponies are super cute!!

Just throwing my hat into the ring for this challenge, Cottontale gave me one of her fakies from her giant pile of ponies, so i'm gonna hack, glue, paint, and try new crafting techniques i've never done to it. it's a non-hasbro mold entry - visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I would really like to enter this! Customizing has been slow, lately, though...but there seems to be enough time. I'll see if I can't find one that will inspire me, yet be simple enough not to be too hard on my hands :)

Yay!  I just won a lot on shopgoodwill- for a shockingly good price! (Although the shipping price was a little less happy) It had the PERFECT Fakie that I'm going to use for the non-Hasbro category (erm, ignore the brother- he was a happy bonus!) :

Molding as in reposing/changing the existing mold?  Then yes!

Might consider if only because I saw some older style fakies at Dollar Tree. IN TWO PACKS. So 50 cent pones may tempt me into playing around with customs

Omg, she must be related to my Pirkko. :D Same mould but mine is yellow, slightly see-through and she glows in the dark. I could never customize Pirkko, she's the queen and guardian of my herd!  :P

I'm very much tempted to join and I should have some suitable fakies, let me check my bait box!

Quick question for the non-hasbro part: Can we use things like the Cabbage Patch ponies, or are they a no-go since it's technically a different toy line rather than a fakie?

Quick question for the non-hasbro part: Can we use things like the Cabbage Patch ponies, or are they a no-go since it's technically a different toy line rather than a fakie?

Nope, it's all good! Go for it!

Count me in.... Also, can we use sculpting for the cutie mark or adding a friend or are we just to using painting for the cutie marks....

I have a fakie to use, it will just be a couple of days before I can get a picture of it.

NoDi, your bait is so cute :)
+1, I want her <3

I've just realised I don't have much fakies. apart from my lovely childhood ones (whom I would never customize) I only have a few (definitely less than 5, including the 2 from which I'll use one for this challenge). I usually donate fakies back to thrift stores or sell them if I receive them in lots.
now I so regret leaving that fakie G3 baby behind whom I saw in a thrift store on Wednesday, and for a moment considered buying exactly to customize. poop! :( I hope she went to a loving little girl's home!

these are the fakies I'm thinking of using:

orange baby:

purple G3 fakie:

I think I'm more likely to enter with the orange one, as I have clear plans on customizing the purple one, but I don't have all the needed hair in hand.
whereas I'm sure the purple one qualifies as a Hasbro mold fakie, I'm not sure about the orange one. could someone help me out here?

she's a well-done girl for a fakie, but she definitely is a fakie ^^ she had so few and bad quality hair (that's all she had what's visible, no missing plugs), her plastic is more lightweight than that of a regular G3, and she has no stamps on her feet.
also, of this I'm not 100% sure (and at the moment she's somewhere under a pile of stuff which I said I will pack away "this weekend" about a month ago  -_- ), but she is a little smaller than a real G3.
I'll dig her up, now you made me curious :D

She's actually quite cute, isn't she? Her mouth is open a bit, and there's a platic wall inside, so I could probably paint teeth on her and make her into a Princess Rinse n' Spit cousin...Princess Dutchie! (As in pass de dutchie...)

The poor CPK pony has a bunch of marks that I haven't been able to remove, so I'm hoping to make her pretty again. And the G3 is a little smaller than the Styling size Starcatcher. I'll have to take a pick of them side by side before I rip her apart.

I guess I'm the "lucky one" without temptation then, my week and weekend is so dang overscheduled I wouldn't even have the chance to start before the 20th  >_<
but I'm free on the 21th, so I'm planning to start that day. I can't wait ^^

I most likely start on 20th, I have all I need with me here at my parents' house so I can start as soon as it's allowed.

I will most likely have no time to die on the 20th XD during Easter we always have a big family gathering in my grandmother's house either on Ester Monday, or (like this year), Sunday. Mother has a biiiiig family, so it's always a very busy day during which I can't do personal stuff, and after which the only thing I can do is lay down and fall asleep (sometimes with clothes on) :lol:

yeah, the excitement itself is so much fun already, I can't even begin to imagine how much fun it will be when the game will be on! my mind is already flashing through possibilities of how the participants will customize all these fakies :)
will we be allowed to post previews or in-progress shots? or would that kill part of the fun?

fortunately fakies are much easier to come by second hand than original MLPs, and general stores also sell them new. I wish you luck fakie-hunting, and hope you'll be able to enter the contest! :)

rybett, your fakie seems to be the twin sister of my Hasbro mold fakie girl :)

I'm looking forward to seeing a Wolverine pony  :biggrin:

maybe on a carousel pole for you?
*snorts diet coke out nose*

I think NoDivision has given her approval!

That would be quite a feat-  a Wolverine Carousel pony... *trying and failing to picture*

My fakie came from goodwill yesterday! Got some fun craft supplies too thanks to Amazon-  hopefully I'll have time on the 20th to scrape that crazy looking hair off of her!

(Seriously I am so excited about my custom that I actually had a dream about what I was going to do to make it less ugly!:lol:)

I would love to join this, if I may?

I do have a few questions though ~

Are themed fakies allowed?
(Theme, I mean, can we add a display/background/other props to go with the pony.)
If I decide to enter, Can we pull out at any time?
(I've just come across the thread, and will need to think about fakie/customizing/time limits etc)

What is NOT allowed, with a custom fakie?
Or is it anything goes, just needs to be a fakie, and altered?

Thanks!
 ;)

Sooo does she count as a Hasbro mold or a non-Hasbro mold?
Also, I've found a set of three fakies plus a doll for 18$... I know it's very expensive for fakies, but one of them is huge, perfect to make a Big Bro out of her! But she will have to wait until I can afford more money for toys Dx

I'd think this qualifies as a Hasbro mold since it's so easily identifiable as a G4 wannabe. She is adorable, though!

OMG the switched heads! Your daughter iis very creative and seems to enjoy thinking outside the box. I like that :) Poor Princess Dutchie is losing her mind, though...

Of course you can join in!  Anything goes honestly, themes are fine, resculpted are fine, frankenponies are fine.  This is about trying new things!  There is NO commitment at all.

Also, WIP pics along the way are fun, but not mandatory!  We can all be crazy hippy love pony artists or secretive masterminds, totally up to you.

I already know what I'll turn my little orange baby into. I am not planning to do major changes to her, she'll stay orange, but will get new hair, eyes and symbols :)

My pony's going to get a completely different look. A horn, a darker body color, I'm throwing around the idea of her being TAF...Pretty much the only thing that's going to stay the same is her hair since  I'm terrible at re-rooting but she will get a haircut.

the bait I prepped last year (but didn't have time to participate). I also fell in love with her after cutting her nasty hair off....but I have a nicely haired version on the way to me, but I can't decide if I just want to rehair that one or customize her. I will decide in the next couple days. If I don't use her, I'll use a totsy bait I have for the non-hasbro

dg fakie babies count as Hasbro mold right? :P (heh, I know they do ;) so a pic with the other bait is forthcoming)

The boiling water method might be a better option for these poor ponies.

I actually had 2 other fakies in this pose and have customised them as practice but I haven't planned what to do with this girl yet, it'll involve sculpting though! Hopefully inspiration will take hold soon, until I've got clay in my hands and hours to experiment I can't know for sure what I'll be entering.  :P

Okay, I finally decided on which fakies to use! Pardon the terrible picture, I naturally waited until 3AM to take my photos! :lmao: I'll try to get a better 'before' shot in the sunlight tomorrow!

Here is my Tara pony; she arrived to me in a lot of baits I bought, painted up like this! She was airbrushing practice for her first owner, and although I thought the paint job was totally bold and exciting, it was scuffed in quite a few places, and I had no way of repairing it. So tonight I stripped her, and she's the most lovely shade of lilac underneath! I'll give her another go with the acetone tomorrow, there's still some stains I'm hoping will come off.

And here's my Hasbro-pose fakie! I was a little worried about using her - since she's my only fakie in that pose and color - and then I realized, what else would you use her for, silly, she's already stripped! :P

Lonewolf- that is such a pretty fakie!

Snapdragon- mine is the same pose of Tara pony! So curious to see how they both come out... :D Also, I tossed mine in the oven with another sculpted pony I was baking and he did fine (at 215*F)

I think I saw that, I even thought "should I use the same pose, someone else is using it already"! But I remembered that my very first custom was made with a Tara pose, so I figured it might be a nice check-in with how my skill has progressed, and hope my second attempt doesn't come out as nightmarishly as the first, LOL!

It'll be really cool seeing how two similar fakies can turn into two different customs! Those sculpted eyes are gonna be tough to work around...! XD

I wish so too, TwistedRiver. I want to see what the fakie looks like after getting some apoxie treatment, wondering if there is any (rather easy) way to make her look like mor of a MLP instead of screaming "FAKIE". I don't wish to sculpt much, though, as the fakie does have her own charm as she is... I know, there's a contradiction. XD

I don't trust my skills to do much sculpting on mine, I've not had a lot of luck with it in the past and don't think I want to practice it with these babies, but I have some interesting ideas.
I wouldn't make her look "too pony-like" if I were you, I happen to think the individual looks the fakies have on their own is a big part of their charm.
One thing I have to give fakies credit for over hasbro is they are not just all recolours of the same pony.

I'm waiting on a bait nonhasbro to arrive in the mail - here's the seller's pic of her (it's a head/body mismatch in color but they belong to the same pose - I own 4 others in that pose, but I wanted to give new life to this one since she's mismatched)

I am curious to see how they come out too! Even if we were both making the same thing I still wouldn't worry about it because they would still be completely different :) But there is zero chance that we'll make the same thing. I really dislike the eyes. I am going to sculpt over them to make g4-style eyes. (Well, try to anyway...)

are you sure this fakie counts as a Hasbro mold? I think she's the little twin of my orange fakie baby. I asked about whether she qualifies as Hasbro mold or not, didn't get an answer but my name was entered into the non-Hasbro category, so I assumed she isn't one.
I'm totally OK if she's one though, but in this case may I please request my name to be moved from the non-Hasbro to the Hasbro mold category, Colorscapesart? :hug:

on Thursday I became super sick (I went to work in the morning, got sent home a couple of hours later because I looked awful, and ended up in the emergency during the evening with a high fever :sick: ), so I am not sure if I'll be able to go to the family gathering tomorrow. but even if I stay at home I might not be able to start working. I hate to just lie around and do nothing, but due to the fever basically my whole body hurts, my fingers hurt as I type, so to start rehairing might not be the best idea in this state  -_-

she's a DG fakie baby in the EXACT same mold as G1 newborns :)
the one you have looks very very close, but has a rooted tail. I think she looks a little funky because her mold and plastic are not quite as good as the DG one, but I would count it as hasbro mold. your purple one you pictured is hasbro mold for sure...

now I had to stop and think this over again, and I just realised that I don't own any Earth newborns, only unicorn and pegasi - maybe that's why this mold skipped my mind as being a Hasbro one. thank you for the explanation! this means then that my name indeed needs to be moved to the Hasbro mold group :)
yep, she has a rooted tail. to be honest, it gives me worries... first I just wanted to remove the whole part and give her a regular tail, but if I traced the hole based on the rooting pattern it would make an enormously thick tail, but if I cut a smaller hole in the middle it would bother me that the rooting pattern is visible around it, so I think I will keep her rooted-tailed :P
is your fakie's body pearly by the way? mine's is, and I thought it's just the lights in your pic that makes it look non-pearly, but now that it turns out they aren't from the same origin after all this might also be different.

yes, the purple one is clearly a Hasbro mold :) tough I will not be able to get some hair which I'd need for the idea I have in mind for her, so I won't be participating with her in the contest.

Technically it is the 20th but I was worrying about the same thing myself so I decided to work on one of my other projects till I hear an okay about getting started. Should probably be using this time to figure out what exactly (other than hair color) I want to do with my "hasbro" fakie. XD

[edit]
Just realized my name isn't on the list and I've got fakies for both hasbro and non-hasbro picked out. Colorscapesart can you add me to the lists?

G1 international Princess Sparkle is the only one I can think of who lights up...

There were a few G4's to light up as well...oh! And G2 had the Loving Family mummy and baby ponies...baby Swirly and her mom, who had a light-up horn, and Twinklestar, who had light up features on her side. I think those are all I can think of though...I don't know about G3's though :/

G3 line has Lily Lightly: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Lily_Lightly :) She and Princess Sparkle were the only ones I knew of, it's great to learn more about the G2s and G4s!


I'm back in town now and started prepping my bait by removing the hair and the jewel on her forehead. I ran out of acetone, however, so removing the rest of the paint will have to wait. Not that it's even necessary but I like working on a blank canvas.  ;) I also noticed my Apoxie has turned orange (it's been a year since I used it, after all...), I'll have to see if it still works or if I need to order a new batch. I may have to order anyway since there'll be a lot of sculpting. So far I only have a general idea of what I'm doing, I think the next step is to make some sketches and put the final design on paper!

Oh CSA, you just make everything look good, even weirdo fakies!

I kinda know what I want to do but I've been really occupied lately with some pretty big things. Not sure how much I'll be around or able to do now.

It's a butterfly!! The two little blue splashes of paint there are the antennae! It took me a minute to figure it out though and I couldn't stop seeing mutant baby chicks and laughing.

My biggest question right now is what do I want to do for eyes. I took out the 'glass' (they were plastic) eyes that were there before... but do I put in new glass eyes? Do I sculpt them and paint regular eyes? Do I do twinkle eyes, or something else? I feel like I can't do anything else until I make a decision, haha.

Umm, how much sculpting/reposing is too much, or is it 'anything goes'?

I didn't see any rules about major customising limits and I just got thinking that I may have gone a little crazy. My pony is in the oven for her final bake but she doesn't look very much like a pony anymore. :lol:

Her legs are replaced, her ears are gone, her eyes have multiplied, her body and head have been bulked up... the only thing left 100% pony is her mouth, is she going to be disqualified? :blush:

I'm torn between posting WIP pics or keeping her a surprise.  :P

lol, I also had a "fakie of a fakie" thought yesterday when I found one of my fakies who is a fakie of a Lanard fakie, and thought I might enter the non-Hasbro mold with her. but since I didn't have any exact ideas about her I left her alone :)

(and now I have a certain Nine Inch Nails song in my head going "I'm just a copy of a copy of a copy..." *whistles* :D )

not sure if i should go fancy with my fakie or simple. how many people are going all out on their fakies to create something different and new?
I won't even recolor mine, she will only receive a rehair and a symbol repaint, so nothing shocking here ^^

My Hasbro fakie (if I finish it) is just going to be a re-hair, re-color.

I'm going ALL OUT on my non-hasbro pony!  I'm not entirely sure the result is going to be entirely.... attractive-  but it will definitely be ... extreme!

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to see what you all come up with - very interesting things from the sound of it! Maybe I can participate in the next one.

I've moved on to sculpting the horn and adding the Twinkle Eyes. I'm really glad Mary Sue has wings, because the horn was a lot easier to sculpt than the wings would have been. It's a little short though...oh well. The Twinkle Eyes are just little gems off some cheap Wal-Mart earrings I bought.

OMG I would freaking love if it weren't legal.  It is SO legal.  Working 40 hours a week around here means you are a slacker.  When I read about the vacation days and weekly and hourly work weeks that are normal in other countries, I am SO envious...   

I made good time with my non-hasbro fakie because a) I have been super inspired based on some awesome bling that I had to affix to her) and b) during the one hour of freetime after dinner and before bed- where we usually watch tv, I have my supplies all set up and have been working on her every night for at least 30 minutes.   ALso I had this last Sat. and the Sat. before-  seriously I can't remember when I've put so many hours into an art project-  I sure hope you guys like her!!!

 (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/uninu/media/IMG_4950_zpsa0d8ba60.jpg.html)

Anyone know anything about her? Her plastic is regular fakie-plastic, squishy and soft, but the design is close to original ponies, especially her head is really cute!

I won't participate with this fakie though as I don't think she'd qualify to Hasbro-category, I will try and find the pink sparkly Crumpet-fakie I have in mind.

eta: Here's the green fakie's head, rather cute isn't she?

All done! :biggrin:

I'm not 100% happy with her but she's got a proud place on my customised fakies shelf and I feel silly because her paint job was so simple.  :blush:

I'll not post a finished pic just yet, I may decide to add details before the contest is over and it's more fun to keep it secret... but here's a teaser of her first day of sculpting.

I wish I had a hasbro mold fakie to customise and enter, but I only had the one DG Baby and he's already had a makeover.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the entries and WIP along the way!  :biggrin:

Well I am trying sculpted wings for the first time on my Hasbro fakie, and while I'm not particularly happy with the results, it has DEFINITELY been a learning process.  At least I know what to do better next time?

I am much more pleased with my ugly non-hasbro fakie!

Here are some sneak peaks!

I got my pimp on!! My new idea is much better than my initial one, though my hands hurt from the sculpting. I have to figure out the tail, but I don't think I'll need to do a rehair as I initially thought. It's still going to take a long time for how simple it is, but I think it'll be worth it when I'm done!

Ok... my fakie has got the pony equivalent of Vitiligo with varnish. I'll have to quit her from the contest, but tomorrow I'll fetch a cute pair of fakies I've seen in an one-dollar store. I'll post pics of them as soon as I buy them, and also a photo of my other fakie, since I won't submit her to the contest.

They have some funky plastic that is seeming to be more sensitive, in my case it worked better than sanding the base as the acetone kind of smoothed/melted it..

Definitely cheaper plastic-  my newer g4 mold fakies are only a couple of years old and have large discolored areas already.  These ponies are BEGGING for customization!

I managed to glue it all together, but I am worried that the cracks may show though the paint.
This is the first time my kitty ever chewed on a pony, so I guess I have to hide my projects when I'm not working on them. :(

I think I'm going to have both my fakies done by the deadline! *happy dances*
I was getting worried that I wouldn't because of not being able to settle on something for my Hasbro style fakie but now she's almost done! My non hasbro still needs a bit of work but I think I may have figured out how to do what needs to be done to complete it.
I was so worried that I'd have nothing to show for my work when the contest ends due to real life and such, but if all continues at the same pace as it has been these passed few days I should have 2 complete entries. :D

Great customs so far, everyone!!  I am LOVING everything I have seen, and a lot of talent sprouting up everywhere!    I am going to work on mine a bit more today...I've been waiting to do the painting on it, as I have been wanting the practice on the airbrush.  I'm still behind, but I will hopefully catch up soon. 

For now, she has gone from a pretty shade of purple to a deep green!  Will grab pics later!

I just have an eye detail to finish on my non-hasbro fakie- and she is finished!  I really like her!  My hasbro-mold fakie is not going so well, I got the wings finished but haven't even started on re-hairing and need to airbrush her pronto, but will be gone this next weekend, argggg!  If only I worked just a tad less...  maybe I should explain to my team/boss that I had to go home early and finish my pony custom project?  hehe

I am so excited, I showed my mom my hasbro fakie custom and she thought it was new pony I'd just received in the post. She has no idea just what a huge ego boost that was for me.

Holy god that's terrifying
Pony is going to suck you into her giant gaping maw of doom!!  :devious:

Her nose was way too bulky so I redid it. Hoping to give her at least one coat of paint tonight.

I've got quite a bit of sculpting done this weekend, if I can finish sculpting today I might still have a chance! :D Too bad I'll be away next weekend so either I need to finish early or take the pony with me. Let's see... It would be a real shame to drop out now so I'm doing my best to get my pony done in time!

I think I'm the queen of procrastination...  :redface: I've had my fakies prepped for the last 3 weeks & just started working on my hasbro one yesterday. At least she's rehaired, so I'll be starting some sculpting today & hopefully painting tomorrow/Tuesday. I still have no idea what I'm doing with the other one though.
Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [It's Go Time!]
Post by: Loona on May 25, 2014, 12:22:03 PM
still going slow, but this weekend at least I made some progress: yesterday I finished my fakie's tail and made plugs in her head, and today I gave her a new mane too. I might redo some plugs later (many people do too much hair for their first rehair, it seems I'm the opposite: I don't dare adding too much hair per plug, and I end up with not enough -.- I had to redo many plugs in the tail for this reason), but for now I'm OK with it.
now a pair of new eyes and symbols, and she's done. I'm not sure I'll finish her in time (dang month-end weekdays are coming, and I won't be home the next weekend), but I'll try to.

can you guess who she will be related to? ^^

do you see those hairs sticking out of her head straight up? that's how all the hair looks when it's not tucked in between her legs. at the moment she's a little punk girl :P the hair's very stiff (it used to be hair extensions I found in Claire's, nothing of high quality), so I'm afraid it will be difficult to style. we'll see.

I have been highly procrastinating, and gotten no farther than the original base coat...which doesn't even fully cover said pony.  >.>  but she is a pretty shade of Leaf Green! 

Will start doing a bit more work on her tonight xD

Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [It's Go Time!]
Post by: Ariadna on May 31, 2014, 07:27:44 AM
Sorry to hear you've withdrawn to captaincurran :(

Everyone always says that Totsy ponies look 'dastardly'. When I hear this word I think of cliche', mustache twirling villains from the black and white film era, you know the kind who tie damsels to train tracks. Totsy was going to be transformed into Count Dastardly, I was going to give it a coat of paint and hair making it appear like it was in an old black and white film. The hair would be black and slick, a fake twirlable moustache added, and was going to be given a monocle and black cloak with tails to boot. I was going to keep Totsy's symbol up on the shoulder but instead of it being girly bow I was going to turn them into more masculin bow ties.

Sadly I've not had any time to devote to Totsy's new makeover, I've been run off my feet. Though I will try to finish it off and post it one day :) I'm not very good with technology so none of my sketches are up (I don't know how to use digital art mediums) and my scanner busted a year or so back, so no concept art from me, just a description.

I'm still hoping to finish mine by Sunday evening as I get back home. I've painted most of the base colours, some parts still need a few more coats and then I can move on to detail painting. I had to skip some of the sculpting I was planning to do in order to make it in time and if need be, I can leave out some of the details in the paintwork too. I just want to be able to submit something, and most importantly, he still matches my original vision even though he isn't quite as detailed as I wanted. In any case I think it's a huge improvement compared to his original looks. ;)

:( I also didn't time my right. This is my first semester in college and I didn't realize how harsh the final month was going to be. Plus we lost 4 people at work so over time there led to no time at home. I am also going to finish mine just don't know when, since I signed up for summer school and we are still short at work. Just can't leave the poor girl naked and hair less though.

Title: Re: "Pimp Yo Fakie" Contest [Last Day for entries!]

Well CSA.... I just read through this after PMing you, so if I'm too late you can just ignore my entry. That's what I get for not checking things before work. >_<,  I'll still be happy to share my custom, & I'm super stoked to see every one else's entries :D This was such a fun project, I'm glad you were  here to inspire us all. <3

I am so excited to see everyone's entries and so nervous about whether mine can even compare. XD Still have no idea how I'll even be able to pick favorites enough to vote.

Sent in my pics! I am so excited to see all of the ponies!! I am such a make-over junkie!  :frolic:

I just noticed that I spelled my name wrong on the collage! lololol. Oh well, the pony is the important part ;)

When will they be posted? I'm anxious to upload mine to my DA account (want to wait until after it's posted here).

Lol Salli :D I didn't even bother to make a collage yet as it was getting late, I just sent individual pics. Will throw together a collage for my own website and DA later after the voting, and maybe come up with a name for the pony, too... Although I'm pretty sure the working title will stick. :P 

I can't wait to see everyone's wonderful makeovers! And those who have already posted pics of theirs (WIP stage or finished) -- great work! :cheer:

Ok, I'm finishing up the entries.   Waterline, I did not receive an entry PM?  I will look back through the thread to see if it was posted there. 

Just a general notice, each entry has a small before picture and one larger after picture UNLESS the custom has removable/changable details.  I did my best to select the most appealing pic out of collages, but one image keeps things fair for those artists who are not as experienced with collages and professional shots. 

Added entrants:
Non-Hasbro:
Rhini
Salli
Snapdragon

Hasbro:
tsukikakushi
uninu
Snapdragon
Waterline

No problem about the collage thing, sorry about making more work for you  ^.^ Everyone did so well! I hope to see another contest like this again :) Thanks for hosting!

No worries!  I wasn't specific enough and there were several lovely collages!

Yes thank you for hosting!!!!  The fact that it wasn't a swap really made it low pressure- but also still fun and motivating to come up with something.   I was able to come up with my first (successful) sculpted pony, and am well on my way to completing the one that didn't get finished. 

It was a great learning process and I don't even have to worry about someone having to get "stuck" with my ponies  ^.^

A bit late but my kitty chewed mine up a few days prior, so I gave up on finishing it. Instead I decided to work on another project. :/
