Customs / Three G3 Baby Commission Slots Open - SPECIAL - $25!
« on: June 10, 2012, 08:38:27 PM »
Hey there!


I'm coming up on some difficult times money-wise and I need to raise some quick funds.  I wanted to do some commissions with a quick turn around and I thought of these G3 baby baits that need a good project.  Soooo... for this run only, I am giving a discount for 3 G3 baby commissions!  Only $25!  If you're unfamiliar with baby G3s, they're bigger than regular G4 ponies.


If you want examples of my work you can see here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-San-Ko-Custom-Ponies/216401195098443


(Please note: The $25 price entails a paint job with basic symbol, and rehairing.  Previous gen remixes, FiM characters, and personas are all great ideas for this - but please keep in mind that these are earth ponies only.)


Slots are reserved when payment is received.  I am pretty much working Paypal only right now.  OH, and domestic shipping IS included in that price if you're in the US!  If you're international, it will be shipped at postage cost only.  Of course, if you want to talk about a more complicated custom on a different form, I am completely open.  Just give me a PM.


Thanks!  :lovey:

Off Topic / Just for fun ... what\'s your age range?
« on: June 10, 2012, 01:46:59 PM »
This poll's purpose is simply curiosity.  I've always wondered about the age breakup of our users - which is the most represented, etc.  I have to admit that I was inspired by the Sat AM Cartoons thread, since our responses will probably vary greatly depending on age, haha.

I broke it down by ranges for easier results.  I think we're such a wonderfully diverse community so results wil be interesting to see!  :)

I've been excited about this film upon hearing the plot synopsis and about the voice cast, but now there's finally an official trailer!  The licensing that they obtained for this film is amazing. 


Classic video game nerds like me, you will squeal!

Off Topic / RIP Ray Bradbury :(
« on: June 06, 2012, 09:33:04 AM »
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/06/06/ray-bradbury-dead-dies-at-91_n_1573849.html

Ray Bradbury, author of such prolific works as Fahrenheit 451, Dandelion Wine and The Martian Chronicles, has died at age 91.

His books and short stories were read and enjoyed by millions.  He remains an inspiration to fiction writers all over the world, and his long career ensures we have many pieces of his literary ingenuity to remember him.

RIP, sir.  Your books and stories are among my eternal favorites.

Off Topic / The New PI Thread
« on: June 04, 2012, 06:37:22 AM »
We had a thread on the old Arena, so I figured it's be good to start a new one!

Who here plays Pony Island?  Let's talk about it here.

I play, using the same username as on here.  I have 5 sub accounts as well.  :)

Customs / Gin No Nami - G3 koi custom (for sale)
« on: June 02, 2012, 08:34:31 PM »
I finished this girl a few days ago and I'm finally getting a chance to make a thread about her!

Gin No Nami means "silver waves" in Japanese.  On one side the kanji stands for the koi carp which is on her other side. Yes, I painted the carp on the NDS, but the reason I did this was for larger working area.  Okay, and also dramatic hidden effect.  Okay, really it was a happy accident.  XD (And yes, that back fin goes around the back of her leg.)

I love her painting, but I'm really in love with her hair blend!  I used Daiquiri Ice, Snowflake, Moonlight, and little strands of Starlight.  She has a beautiful iridescent and sparkly effect in person.


She is for sale; I am asking $40 for her.  Domestic shipping is included!

A few more pics?  Sure!

Customs / Ponies on Vacation - Firefly and RD are turnin' Japanese
« on: May 16, 2012, 08:02:19 PM »
My partner has received her ponies from the Ponies on Vacation Swap, so I am gladly posting them now!


I was torn between doing Firefly and Rainbow Dash, since both were on her form ... and she wanted a G4 custom.  I compromised and did a Firefly G4 custom and styled/decorated an out-of-the-box Rainbow Dash!

Firefly was painted with a slight gradient; on her left flank she has her traditional cutie mark, and on her right flank I painted the kanji for "firefly".  Painted in acrylics, rehaired in a blend of Atomic Turquoise and Water Nixie.

I then styled Rainbow Dash's hair, cut her some bangs, and added rhinestones for fanciness.

And one last shot of the girls together!

Along with them I sent some Japanese trinkets and lots of candy, which Waffles promptly enjoyed.  XD  I'm so happy she likes them!

Customs / Need Baby/Newborn Baits!
« on: May 16, 2012, 10:12:16 AM »
Hi all!  I hope some people can help.  I'm in dire want of baby and newborn baits, especially G1 (or those DG Fakie babies.) I will gladly purchase or trade other baits.  Any condition will do!  The only thing I don't need is G3 babies (I have plenty.)

Please let me know!  Thanks!  :lovey:

Customs / G4 Fashion Style Swap - **Ponies Arriving!!!!**
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:21:03 PM »

Hey all!  The G4 Fashion Style Swap has been approved!  Sign-ups will start on Friday, and pay attention to the dates - the times run a little longer now, since a few people were concerned.  Hopefully this will change some minds.  :)


Pay special attention to the class requirements when getting your form together!  Standard vs. Epic doesn't necessarily mean Intermediate vs. Expert - it's about the level of work you're putting in to the pony and the complexity of the finished result.  That said, I would encourage less-experienced customizers to use the Standard class, but if you can prove your mettle to me with examples of your work, we can definitely find you a place in that class.  Advanced customizers can feel free to enter either category, as you know that it's about what you can handle at this time rather than what your abilities are.

As previously discussed, if finding baits is an issue, please let me know - I can definitely assist you in getting your hands on one.  Also know that TRU currently has a few models in stock right now as well for a decent price.


Dates:
Sign-ups: May 18th-June 5th by 11:00 PM EST
Partners Assigned and Notified: By June 6th
Check-in 1: June 29th by 11:00 PM EST

Check-in 2 (Photo Check-in): July 18th by 11:00 PM EST
Check-in 3 (Photo Check-in): August 6th by 11:00 PM EST
Shipping Deadline: August 20th-27th (you must get approval before you ship!)
 

 
 Rules:
 
 1. You must be 16 years or older, as per Arena rules.
 2. You must be an active member. I need to not have a problem getting a response from you via PM. This swap is open to members who have been here at least 3 months and have at least 100 posts.
 3. You must be able to prove that you are reliable. You should be able to provide at least 5 feedbacks (8 for Epic Class), and your total feedback should be positive. At least one feedback needs to involve some sort of swap or trade. Feedback should come from the Arena or the TP (with at least one coming from the Arena); Ebay only works if you're stuck for one more piece of feedback.
 4. You must have knowledge of customizing. Please be able to show me at least one example of a finished custom (three if entering Epic Class.)
 5. You MUST ship on time. I understand that real life problems come up, but it is your responsibility to contact me so that I'm aware of the problem and so I can make arrangements.
 5a. Proper shipping is your responsibility. Please package your customs very well. No colored tissue paper/newsprint which could rub off on the custom.  Be especially careful if you have sculpted, as sculpted parts can break easily during shipping.  Wrap them well and place paper or bubble wrap along all sides of the box, padding the item so that it doesn't move around the box.
 6. Keep your partner a secret! Don't tell anyone and risk spoiling the surprise. You don't know who talks to who, so please don't tell anyone, even your bff.
 7. If you do not check in, you cannot send or receive a pony.
 8. Extras are not mandatory, but as this is a swap, you're definitely allowed to include them, and often people do expect them. Just remember that in all cases, the pony should be the centerpiece.

9. You cannot switch classes after you have signed up.  If you sign up for Epic Class and there is a concern that you may not be able to complete a custom that meets those requirements, the swap hosts may, at their discretion, switch you to Standard Class. 

Class Expectations

Standard Class - You should be entering this class if your plans for your FS bait include a rehair w/styling, a paint job, in additon to some minor details/embellishments (minor sculpting included, like detail sculpting.)  This class requires 5 feedbacks and proof of one completed custom.

Epic Class - Those who enter this class are expected to go beyond the average custom.  This may include: major sculpting (ie. large wings, clothing), reposing/engineering a pose (including merponies), drastic hair techniques (ie. dyeing gradients, extreme amounts of hair, etc), clothing sewn or sculpted on the pony, very intricate paint work, flutter/fairy wings, and anything else that goes well above and beyond the original call.  You do not have to do all of these things.  Doing one of them is enough to qualify you.   This class requires 8 feedbacks and proof of three completed customs.

If you are in doubt which class you should sign up for, please contact me and I can help you decide. 

Please put "I Want to Play with the Big Ponies!" as the subject line of your sign-up form.

Approved CSA 5/12

Off Topic / Attention! Regarding "Ask Me a Question" Threads
« on: April 29, 2012, 10:07:06 PM »
Hi all!

Lately we've noticed a lot of threads popping up in which users get members to ask them questions.  These threads have become popular, and while they're fun, we noticed several threads popping up one after another in one day.  We don't think anyone would want to see this continue and have Off-Topic saturated with these kinds of threads, so we are politely asking members to refrain from creating these threads from this point on.

In replacement, we will start an official Ask a Question thread!  Please feel free to play Q & A with other members here:
http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,294607.new.html#new

Thank you,
Off-Topic Moderators
