Customs / The Painted Ponies
« on: March 15, 2023, 02:49:19 PM »
I promise this will be my last post for awhile :biggrin:  It's just that I've been on a custom kick lately.  I do have other ponies I want to make but I think I will work on my many deflocks next for a bit.

Some of you, if you've been around the arena awhile, may remember this picture, my "Painted Ponies" I created many years ago, based on American Paint Horse pinto-style coloring:

Well I've updated/changed their symbols a bit:

And finally made them real!

Making the white spots was challenging.  I made the green pegasus first, and she had a of of green dye bleed through.  I tried three days of sunfading, and even considered ordering another HQG1C blank to start over. In the end I decided to keep her as is.  I created her, I couldn't get rid of her :biggrin:  Blue unicorn was better, with less dye bleed.  Orange earth came out great!  I learned I needed MANY more layers of rubber cement and masking fluid!

One other thing I've learned... I'm never curling hair again! :lol: :lol: :lol:  I am not good at hair!  I boiled green and blue's hair in curlers, let dry for two days, and blues's tail held curl, but both their manes unravelled. Oh well :P

After a custom sabbatical I might make my "Friendly" the unicorn from my care bear crossover! 
Thank you everyone for the comments lately with Baby Frosting and Gator!!!!!!

Thank you HQG1C for making the blanks!

Customs / My pony persona "Gator"
« on: March 07, 2023, 10:36:23 AM »
I finally exist as a real pony!  But we will call this my long-haired variant, LOL  :lol:  because after rooting all that hair, I was afraid to cut it and attempt to style it like his hair in my artwork.  I AM NOT a barber :P :lol:

Customs / Custom Baby Frosting
« on: February 19, 2023, 04:33:36 PM »
Here is my custom Baby Frosting!  Made from a bait Moondancer who had eye damage, symbol loss, and no tail.
My symbols aren’t perfect.  It’s hard to paint small on a pony.  I much prefer painting on paper😂
I also hate styling hair 😜. Her mane looks bad.  I think I had the mane wrapped too tightly and it made it wrinkled.

For Sale - For Auction / My ponies for sale on a pony Facebook group.
« on: February 10, 2023, 01:34:41 PM »
I don’t know if this will work, especially since it’s a private group, but I feel like a lot of us arena members are on the same pony Facebook groups so I hope you guys can check this out.  I have some pony sales in this group.  I was trying to avoid posting photos again so Loa said I could try this.

These are G1 only.

The Dollhouse / Any doll customizers here? Monster High
« on: January 22, 2023, 11:50:53 AM »
Is there anyone on here that does doll customization that could help me with a question? I have used Clay to make non-pony characters from the pony movies and series. I now want to make a Catrina. However I don’t want to sculpt a whole body from scratch. I was thinking I could take a regular doll, and use milliput or similar epoxy clay to sculpt Catrina‘s face onto a doll, then paint her face and re-hair the doll with some gold/orange hair like Catrina‘s.
I know monster high, barbies and other similar dolls would be very tall compared to pony figures, but I saw a Clawdeen doll that looked like she had claws on her hands. I figured this would be a good doll to use for Catrina since she sort of has claws as well.
I also think I may have seen a YouTube video where someone shrunk the monster high doll’s head so it wasn’t so big. I thinking that would be an option for Catrina‘s head.
I have never worked with dolls before, would anyone have any advice for me?

For Sale - For Auction / Rep sculpture from Escape From Katrina
« on: January 11, 2023, 11:49:01 AM »
Would there be any interest for this sculpture I did of Rep?
I was going to try auction-style on one of the pony facebook groups, but I'm afraid I wouldn't do it right or would be overwhelmed with messages.  It's quieter here on the arena.

Asking $60, shipping included, paypal goods and services. I prefer just within the United States at this time.  He is fragile and I will have to pack him well, and I don't want to worry about him trying to travel internationally.  Sorry.

He is not perfect.  I am not a trained artist.  I guess think of this as folk art, there are flaws.  So you must be okay with this.   :biggrin:

He is pictured next to Wig Wam for pony size comparison.  I planned to make this Rep smaller than my first piece, but even though I tried, he magically came out the same height.
Wig Wam is available for sale separately too if anyone is interested, but he needs a bath.  Something is in his hair.  I got him in a lot with Bushwoolies full of water, so I think previous owner tried washing everybody and maybe shampoo or something is still in his hair.  I also think he has regrind.  On his left butt cheek he has pale nickel sized discoloration to the plastic, yellow compared to his normal orange.

Drop me a PM if interested.  Thanks.

Pony Brag Arena / My first RAOPK
« on: December 16, 2022, 06:34:59 PM »
I just had my first RAOPK you guys.  It’s a great feeling.  I don’t believe she’s a member here, but she got me a Bonnie Bonnets as a gift, and had it shipped directly to me with the help of Katz Pony shop, who is a member here.  I thank them both!!!
You’re down and depressed, then a bit of goodness and sunshine peaks through.  This really made my day.

Arts & Crafts Corral / Rep from Escape From Catrina
« on: November 27, 2022, 11:55:47 AM »
Here's my newest creation.  He has some issues.  Head is too big, thighs and tail aren't thick enough, and he's already broken several bits while in the oven.  But I still think he'll look great painted and on the shelf.

Pony Brag Arena / Roller skating ponies
« on: November 20, 2022, 08:43:27 AM »
I have in the last few months acquired Jazzie and Hip Hop!  I probably won’t seek out Melody with skates because I’m not huge into variants, so I’m ok with regular Melody.
And I also got the last two playschool ponies I needed as well!

Pony Corral / Sunfading is hard
« on: August 06, 2022, 03:29:59 PM »
Sunfading is rewarding and sad.  Such a balance.  Too little can become too much in just a moment!  I burned the edges of my Perfume Puff Dainty Dahlia’s feet and her ear tips.  But… she’s blue again.  So I succeeded but failed.  I’m still going to keep her.  She’s going to be haired with normal hair and not be a Puff.
