Hi ponies,
This isn't strictly a nirvana question :blush:
We all know some nirvana ponies are very rare and cost a lot of pony tokens.
I certainly know there are quite a few ponies I'll never own, but I don't let it get me down ^.^ I decided that having a custom would be suitable substitute.
I know this isn't what would make everyone happy though as I know not everyone enjoys custom ponies.
Here is a custom from my own collection of French Starshine with dark purple hair.

Do you have any customs of rare ponies in your collection?

I don't yet but some of those you have in your sales thread are definitely on my want list!! ;P

I don't own any and I am also not planning to get some in the future. I prefer the genuine ponies. I would make exceptions for Glory and Moondancer I think because They are my favourite ponies.I do really like customs of a less rare pony in a different pose as normal. I for example have a custom of glory in walking pose and also Have honeycomb in a different pose as she normally is :)
-
I'm in the middle of making Ladybird from Peachy and Poof nPuff Nightglider from Bow Tie if they count, just easier to do alt pose and alt rehair respectively. Really looking forward to the results.
-
You bet! I have commissioned a reverse Gusty already, and plan on more (Rapunzel, Ladybird, Brazilian Milky Way to name a few)
Like PKW, I am at peace with having to own a substitute, (as is my bank account) for ponies that are beyond my means ^.^
*sits back and stalks thread to await more pictures*
-
I have a very cute custom of Rapunzel!
-
I made myself a reverse Gusty :biggrin: super easy and I figured since I'll never have a real one this is a close second ;)
Good grief Moonbreese your customs are beyond words! The Moonstone is gorgeous but oh my god that Ladybird. I find myself in need of her if you ever do decide to sell :heart:
-
Yes during the years of customising I made a lot of Nirvana ponies and since I try to make the ponies as perfect as possible, some have found their way in my collection:
Blue Moon

I really like that G2 Ladybird. She's adorable!
I don't have any customs of nirvanas but some of these are really nice. I do have other customs, though.
-
Yes, I have a custom of masquerade in Whizzer pose by Okami, a great artist.

Ooh, I love all the Italian variant customs!
-
someday I am going to own a herd of custom Colombia Bow Ties. Can't paint to save my life at the moment, but I do have determination *sets gears in motion*
I do have a lovely custom from pandabear_chan of White Moonstone (Peru) and will be getting a few customized Greek babies from her (Moondancer, Glory, and Minty with green hair) and a prototype Bubbles!!
-
No, but I would like it, specially seeing all your beauties. They look so real!
-
Does anyone have more pictures to share?
Here is my alternate hair German Starshine (she had a hair cut and was very discoloured and marked) I rehaired her to look like a German oddity that's in the nirvana gallery.

Not yet, but there are several nirvanas that I know I will never be able to afford that I would love to have customs of in my collection. Bluemoon and French Windy (lilac hair variant) are a couple that spring to mind. Also a couple of the prototypes like that shy pose Bubbles! :inlove:
I recently made a Reverse Gusty for Chelsea7 and I may one day make another for myself. In fact one day I will get round to making a few of my impossible grails. :lol:
Anyway, I'm loving all these customs, you guys really make them look factory! Here's a picture of Chelsea's Gusty to share :)

I'd also love to have customs of the prototype peek-a-boo versions of the baby TAF unicorns. If you made those Panda I think I'd die! :lol:

No, but I would like PKW to make me a SA Moondancer.
PKW, get on that. ;)

I don't think I do yet, but I will soon!!
The only higher priced custom I have is Sweet Scoops, but shes not a nirvana :)

I don't have any yet, but I would love to commission a reverse French Cotton Candy (not really reverse I suppose-- the pink bow-tie pose version with blue hair :) )
I do love restored nirvanas. I won a super-baity Argie Windy not long ago and one day I'd love to get her eyes and symbols repainted and rehaired!
Pandabear and PKW you guys are le-gen-dary customisers! Thanks for sharing your pics! :heart:

Thanks a lot for that lovely comment. The reverse French Bowtie is an easy one - take a Sundance and dye her in the right shade. She's indeed a lovely one.
-
These customs are all very well done. I have one Nirvana I am going to have to have done as a custom and that is the Argentina Sparkle Flutterbye Unicorn. I have the other three already and they are original. But it seems this last one seems to be very expensive so I at some point will be commissioning someone to do one for me. Chances are it'll be gotbunny as she has already done three custom ponies for me.
-
I love the color for rehair on her. The original color has always prevented me from buying her.

I love customs of nirvanas and the common ponies. I'm amazed at the talent on these boards.
Pkw, I didn't realize that you're the seller I bought the Italian Lickety split from until now. I can't wait till she arrives!
The German Starshine below is gorgeous. The rainbow reminds of one of favorites, confetti.
Does anyone have more pictures to share?

Baby Ladybird. That's about it, if she would count. hehehe I sold her recently.
I guess I haven't gotten into this line of customs (quite yet).

Awwww thanks. :o)
She was a baby cuddles if that says anything. LOL. I kept her back hooves so she would have stamping with her feet, plus I elongated her front legs. First attempt at a re-sculpt. Quite the undertaking...

:D I see it! I was trying to figure out what you had used as a bait. Thank you for explaining :)

No. But sometimes I think about it. I'd get a commission of the sitting pose Bowtie if it didn't mean taking another sitting pony out of the world. Would love to have that Truly posed Milky Way too.:3

Not yet. But I plan to get some custom Blossom nirvana`s some day. Especially Colombian varients.
-
I LOVE seeing all these custom Nirvanas! I have a list a mile long of who I would want but I'm just excited to get my first custom soon :)
-
Lovely ponies!
-
I would love to own customs of some of the painted prototypes that have been popping up. I can dream of owning the real deal, but a custom might be the closest I get :)
Btw I love all the customs shown here... Such professional work!

I'm glad you are still enjoying your ponies STP :hug:

Personally, for my own collection, I wouldn't be interested in exact replica ponies of existing variants. I understand why people do it and it's a personal choice. I just prefer genuine stuff. It takes the point of the hunt and the quest out of it for me if you can just order it to specifications.
Alternative pose or generation versions of Nirvana I have no issue with. That's a creative art form and no different from making an alt pose version of any pony (eg a Baby Fifi with a horn, like her mama).
The only caveat I have with exact replicas, especially noting the talent in the community, is that all custom versions should be marked on the hoof as such. I remember the crazy over the fake Reverse Gusties years back and there are far more legitimated custom Nirvanas in the community. So I feel strongly that, even if they are ones you intend to keep, they should be so marked. That way, if something unthinkable happened, they can't be confused for the real deal later on down the line.
Otherwise, it's each to their own for me. It's just not my thing.
-
The Reverse Gusty I made is marked like all my customs for that reason Taffeta. ;) I would think alt customs should be marked too because they could be mistaken for new variants. :)
-
Taffeta I understand that a replica is not for everyone :bigups:
The hunt is part of it! You are right to mention the tracking down and saving up are part of owning a rare or special pony.
Baby FiFi with a horn should be a thing!

I have 2 alternate BF customs. No idea who made them but the seller was in Australia.
-
Wow, these customs are all so spot on, they almost look like the real deal!

My Custom Reverse French Bowtie has arrived from the very talented Pinkkittywinks! I'm super thrilled, and now I have a Nirvana Custom in my collection! She's seriously so perfect I don't even need to dream about the real deal :D

OMG!!! A custom of this pony id one I'd love to have made some day! She's beautiful :) Was she a Parasol originally? (that's what I'd plan to use!)
-
hehe! Actually my one nirvana grail was white colombian applejack and my custom of her is also one of yours pkw! x3
When I originally saw her for sale, I thought it WAS a real aj, and thought someone was really crazy for selling her for the price she was xD, when I realized she was a custom I still didnt hesitate to buy her! I still lover her. I was originally thinking about selling her, but .. well I cant part with it, even though I dont collect ponys anymore, I still adore white AJ. :)

SOW :heart: I'm so pleased you love her so much :hug:
Daffodil I used a Parasol bait :bigups: I'd say it is the closest match without having to do a full body repaint.
True oh wow! I've not seen that girl for a while, it's nice to know she has a special place in your collection ^.^
