Customs / Is there a way to...?
« on: April 30, 2013, 08:13:07 AM »
...make a clear bubble-like thing on a custom?  Case in point, I wanted to make a custom of a video game character that always wears a space suit, but I wouldn't know how to go about giving him a helmet.  Any ideas?

Oh, and it isn't like an actual astronaut helmet with a visor in the front; it's like a full-coverage, fish bowl style helmet...

Holy crap, I'm finally done! :drunk:

I've had this one painted for a long time and finally got around to rehairing her today!  Took about two hours and left a horrible pain in my shoulders, but it was worth it.  This little memento of UA will have a nice display spot back home.

Hair is Cherry Pie and Raincloud.  Question:  though I only used nylon and got them from the same place, one of the Cherry Pie hanks felt and behaved differently than usual.  It was much softer, a bit springy, and it had a strange sheen to it.  Any idea why it's so different from the other courser, shimmering, stiffer hank?

Arts & Crafts Corral / Concepts of Upcoming Customs + G2 Style Attempt
« on: April 24, 2013, 01:38:56 AM »
Too tired to post any descriptions.  Seriously, my brain's running on empty.  Basically, pokemon customs for my friends, and an attempt at a G2 style.  Sorry I can't say much more. XP

The friend who wanted an Umbreon custom specifically said she wanted hair, not sculpting.

Off Topic / Anyone here savvy with gaming hardware?
« on: April 20, 2013, 08:37:56 PM »
So I recently ordered a new screen lens for my Gameboy Advance (a regular, non-SP GBA), and after I put it in, and brought the LCD back on top of it only to see that it had a great big black splotch on it!  I was doing my best to be super gentle with it, but I guess I wasn't gentle enough!  Does anyone know how to fix this, or if it can't be fixed like this, can anyone give me advice on how to prevent it from happening again when I order a replacement?

Here's what it looks like now:

Customs / Alicorn Custom and Alternate Color Rehair
« on: April 18, 2013, 07:52:19 PM »
Did both of these a while back.  First is the alicorn custom.
She was originally a pink Celestia.
Hair colors are Kitten, Old Bubblegum, and Bougainvillea.
She was made as a pony sons for a coworker's young daughter.
I even scented her hair with the "Rose Bouquet" fragrance from Dollyhair.

Next is an alternate color rehair for Up, Up, and Away.  Hair colors are Key Lime and Butterfly.  Sadly, while I was in the middle of making her, someone else posted a rehair of her with the same colors, so this is not original by any means.  To that other person, I swear that I did not steal your idea; we just had the same one at the same time! :P

She's for sale if you want her; $12 plus shipping.  Her symbol has a few rubs/scratches in some areas, but they are hardly noticeable.  Also, her legs appear to be warped, but she can still stand.

Customs / Questions about Hosting Swaps
« on: April 16, 2013, 09:17:16 AM »
Hope this can go here.  Since I'm primarily interested in custom swaps, what better place?

I think I'm about to reach the requirements for being a host and I do have some ideas in mind for hosting, but before that, I have a few questions: 

1.  Since the swaps are anonymous, does the host even get a pony?  If they're the ones organizing the thing, then wouldn't that mean that they know who is making their custom?

2.  I have a bit of doubt when it comes to matching by skill.  Would someone be able to help me get everything straight?  Also, if only two sign up in the newbie category, would they only be able to work for each other and thus know their partner already?

Just some things that confuse me.  Sorry if I seem dumb...

Arts & Crafts Corral / (Incredibly) Rough Sketch - Frustration

Drew this yesterday in about 15-20 minutes.  Yeah, I'm sure you can tell by its crappiness. XD

Anyway, this is my ponysona Stardust showing her frustration with calculus.  She loves math, but admits that it can be a pain in the flanks.

Tried a new art style with this one...  Well, okay not really a new art style, more of a new generation style.  I usually just do G4 art but this time I tried G2.

Also, about her hair, it's a representation of what mine was like at the time; I woke up late and didn't have time to brush it before bolting to work, so I went around all day with a massive bed head.

Customs / Love Swap Pony for MoonHawke
« on: April 05, 2013, 08:49:31 PM »

MoonHawke had pirates and the Portal Companion Cube on her list, so I combined them to make this pony.  Hair is Cherry Pie and... Butterfly, I think?  I've got lots of yellows, so I may be wrong. :P

Also, just a piece of trivia:  I got the idea of the color scheme from the pirate Neopets.

Trader & Shipping Support / My mail was stolen... Now what do I do?
« on: April 03, 2013, 09:54:03 AM »
I'd been expecting an MLP comic for over a week.  It was supposed to come boarded in a large envelope.  Well, the envelope came, but there was nothing in it.  It was completely torn at the top.

It's really frustrating and heartbreaking, especially since this week has been bad enough already.  And what's worse, my Mom and Dad both told me that there's really nothing I can do.  But I feel like that's not right, and that I can't just sit back and take it.  Please tell me there is something I can do...

Wanted! / Earth Rainbow Dash Prototype and FS Rarity
« on: March 29, 2013, 11:17:50 PM »
Title says it all!  It's the one seen here.  Looking to get her in mint condition.  Thanks! :)

Edit:  I'm also looking for FS Rarity without accessories.

Customs / Stork Swap for Rainbowjuice
« on: March 21, 2013, 09:00:03 PM »
For this swap, Rainbowjuice listed two ponysonas, Barnacle and Salty, and Big Macintosh and Fluttershy.  I went through quite a few concepts for each but ultimately decided on making the child for Big Mac and Fluttershy.  This is the result:

(Pardon the quality.)
As you can see, she takes after her mother in coat color and talent(/cutie mark) and after her father in hair and eye color. :)
The concept of Murphy's Law applied greatly to this custom.  Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, and before I knew it, it was too close to shipping time to fix...  I hope Rainbowjuice really liked her...

Wanted! / Looking for a very specific bait...
« on: March 19, 2013, 12:47:25 AM »
I'm looking for a white G2 in the Sky Skimmer pose, preferably with blue eyes.  Also, due to the fact that the custom I plan on making has to be pretty quick, I'd like for it not to have any major flaws (bite marks, permanent stains, etc.).

PM me if you can help, pretty please. :)

The Dollhouse / FS/FT: Scaris Deuce MIB
« on: March 11, 2013, 03:00:20 PM »
Pics will come later.  Everything looks to be in order, but if you want to keep him MIB, I should warn you that his glasses are lopsided.

Currently taking offers.  Willing to trade for complete swimsuit/punk Venus.

Pony Corral / Killing Mold?
« on: March 05, 2013, 03:41:08 PM »
I have a bait that's been sitting around with mold on her for a while, and I think Dad's getting sick of her being there.  I am too, so I'm here to ask, how can I kill off this crap?  It's the large brown kind with the dark dots in the middle.  I've seen success stories of sunfading, but that's out of the question because our weather is misbehaving...
