Customs / Rainbow Skies - baby G4
« on: May 30, 2012, 04:35:13 PM »
I dont have much to say about this girl. she's re-rooted in dollyhair's Yellow fever, Heart Throb, and I'm pretty sure the blue is After Midnight.
and I dont think I ever broke as many needles as I did on any other pony... I went through seven needles on this girl's mane alone  :crazy:  but i think she was worth the all effort!

Customs / Dear Diary - a G4 pony
« on: May 29, 2012, 01:07:17 PM »

Dear Diary was made from a g4 pinkie pie. She's been re-rooted in DH's kitten, lemonade, heart throb, mango tango, and yellow fever (pretty sure it was yellow fever. might be something else). her symbol is a diary with a pen and hearts. I didn't bother to change the eyes because I wanted blue eyes for her anyway.
 
that's all I have to say about this girl :) opinions?

Customs / G1 to G3 Mcpony - Bubbles

I've been working on the cutie for the past week and I think she turned out gorgeous :)

She was made from a mcdonalds Pinkie pie. I don't like the look of the giant-hunk-o'-plastic g3 mcpony tails, so i decided to cut the whole tail off with an exacto and sculpted back whatever I didn't mean to cut off (which was basically her whole butt and the backs of her legs.) and made a regular tail hole by sculpting around a wooden dowel. I decided to go with darker blue bubbles instead of light blue and green to match the hair blend. Her hair is just random clippings from a g3 Denim Blue blended together. And of course she's been painted with acrylics and sealed with modpodge.
 
So what do you all think? :)

Pony Corral / Show me your de-tinseled ponies!
« on: April 25, 2012, 11:54:39 AM »
I wanna see ponies without all that wild, unmanageable tinsel in their hair! :)
I guess I'll get the ball rolling: Here's my detinseled Princess Serena
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

her tinsel was actually ok untill I put her in a plactic baggie with baking soda to get rid of her smoke smell. after I took her out of the bag, flakes of gold tinsel were flying everywhere, and that left the tinsel strands all blotchy, ugly, and kinda mustard colored... and of course not sparkley anymore. It was kinda crazy on top of that so I just detinseled her. That made it easier to de-frizz her tail, and now after all that I think she looks AMAZING! :)
 
So lets see some detinseled ponies here! :)

Customs / G2 - G3 Eve (with lots of glitter and glam!)
« on: April 09, 2012, 05:23:35 PM »
This is Eve, based on the G2 pony of the same name (which you can see here, for those who don't know: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/wystearya/100_0726.jpg) , with my own spin on her. She's gotten a whole design revamp: blue, pink, and purple stars, hearts, bubbles, and rhinestones all over her back leg and around her symbol, and on her forehead for a sort of henna tattoo look. Her dolphins and all the stars, hearts and bubbles are glittery (except a few which are matte). Her eyeshadow is a gradient from pink to blue, with glitter all over (which you can somewhat see the glitter in the pictures).
Her hair has long blue strands (that glow in the dark!) and shorter pink strands blended together so it kinda looks like it has a dip-dyed effect.
 
Enough of my babbling, onto the pics :P

I feel like this is one of my best customs to date, but i feel like i over-done the symbols and stuff a *tiny* bit  :lookround:  either way I'm happy with how she came out!
 
I'm just looking for opinions from the general public :) thanks for looking!

Pony Corral / Cigarette-smelling ponies... what can I do?
« on: April 08, 2012, 08:21:40 AM »
I bought 2 ponies off of ebay back in August that smelled like cigarettes (wasn't noted in description, if I had known that I wouldn't have bought them, but thats not the issue here). The smell on them isn't that bad, but i'd like to get rid of it. I've tried just about everything i could think of; Febreeze, dryer sheets, febreeze AND dryer sheets together, popping the head off and letting it air out outside, spraying them inside and out with my sister's perfume (not the best idea probably, but it has a strong scent, and some smell nice), more febreeze, cleaning them inside and out with fragrant soaps, more dryer sheets.... dryer sheets stuffed inside the body for a month and a half... febreeze again, scrubbing it with dawn, wiping it down with lysol wipes... everything I've tried so far, the smell came back a few days later, or didnt go away at all, and I dont want the smell to spread to my other ponies :( I have kept these ones away from my other ponies since I got them too. They're both lovely otherwise...
 
Is there anything else I could do about them? :(

(these are the best 2 pictures i got of her, all the others turned out with lots of glare)
 
Mimic started out as a Sweetcream Scoops. I stripped all her factory paint off and re-painted her mane and symbol. She's been sealed with mod podge.
also its not very clear in the pictures but the green in her eyes is kinda glittery/metallic :)
 
I'm just looking for a bit of feedback from the community :) i'm open to any critique as well. thanks for looking!

Wanted! / I'm looking for a TE Masquerade!
« on: March 07, 2012, 02:10:23 PM »
It doesn't have to be super mint of anything, but i'd rather a decent looking one. by decent, i mean:
*i dont mind slight frizz or dryness in the hair or a few missing plugs. but i dont want one with cut hair or a missing tail.
*i dont mind tail rust.
*slight surface dirt is fine by me
*i'd rather have one with the head and body matching in color. i dont mind if the head is just a little bit lighter or darker than the body, but i dont want the head to be really significantly lighter (or darker) than the body
*i'd rather no (or at the very least, minimal) cancer spots/ink marks. marking under the hooves aren't an issue for me since its not seen on display. I don't mind pindot either as long as it doesn't cover a large area of the body
*rubs to the eye paint or symbols is fine by me. but i dont want one with like half the symbol scuffed off.
*For the eyes, i dont mind if the iridescent coating on the jewels is rubbed or absent. But i'd rather have no huge scratches, scuffs, or gouges in the jewels. If its just a tiny scuff then its not a problem. i just dont want any really significant damage to the jewels.
 
I'd rather have a seller in the US if possible.
 
*looks back at my wall of text*
i hope that doesnt sound too picky! XD

Pony Corral / Well, I'm not surprised.
« on: February 25, 2012, 08:17:12 AM »
I didn't see a thread for this so I'll start one.
 
http://derpyhoovesnews.com/:muffin: Ponies-new-voice/
So, now there is an edited version of "the Last Roundup" where :muffin: Pony's voice is changed, her name is removed from the dialogue, and her eyes are normal. I'm not surprised, honestly, with all the "OMGZ Headache :drama: Pony IZZ AN OFFENSIVE CHARACTER!!1!" crap that I've been seeing since "The Last Roundup" first aired. I can't say I'm upset because of this, but I'm not happy that it happened. And I actually like her new voice a lot better.
 
What do you people think?

I don't have too much to say about this one, other than I love her to bits and my back hurts from leaning over to reroot her for so long!  :P Here she is:

I know I kinda went overboard on the hair, but I was bored and I thought it looked cute. i did also sew those fishnet gloved myself from an old pair that i had laying around.

Customs / help? g3 hoof magnet problems
« on: January 29, 2012, 10:39:49 AM »
so i have a tangerine twinkle bait, and she had a lot of excess glue on her foot around her hoof magnet so i used some goof off on the spots where the glue was showing and washed it all off right away. now the magnet has white streaks all across, like what it looks like when you clean a window. i tried washing it off and scrubbing at it but the streaks keep turning white again when it dries. there's also some of these white streaks on her foot but not touching the magnet.
..did i just ruin tangerine twinkle's foot? >_<
