So yes, these were all created on Pony Creator by GeneralZoi on DA as it's much easier and faster to play around with different designs on the creator to come up with my final design than drawing them (for me anyway, I'm very slow!). These ponies are all based after my OC's I've been writing for a very long time and I'd really like to pony-fy them and maybe write a pony story on them-I've already got some ideas!

Problem is, when it comes to colors and designs, I'm not very good at it. I much prefer to think of personalities than looks and with ponies it's even harder to ensure all the colors mesh well. I notice a lot of my ponies tend to be rather monochromatic and I worry they start to look a little boring after awhile (I rather like matching colors and I don't tend to gravitate to bright colors so that probably doesn't help). So I'd just like an critique or opinions on their designs!

These two are meant to be twins which hopefully excuses some of their similarities. Unfortunately neither have names as of yet. Once a powerful alicorn working in the guard of Princess Celestia, a dark curse has separated them into two, leaving the unicorn bitter and hurt, traveling the land as he seeks out a way to restore himself to his former glory while the pegasus, found by the Princess, has lived comfortably in the castle, unaware of his other half.

This is Dusty Shadowbox...I'm probably most iffy about his design. He's supposed to be the epitome of EARTH PONY, a bit of a bully but still kind-hearted when it comes down to it.

This is Pan's Labyrinth, a unicorn who sold his soul for dark magic and wings. A self proclaimed King of the Grim Ponies.

This is Off Chance, a plucky, happy-go-lucky pegasus with big dreams of someday flying for princess Celestia.

This is Only Coal, a twinkle-eyed earth pony lost in the big world and still struggling to understand himself.

So just yesterday I brought home Baby Romperooni and I was super excited to get her all cleaned up to join my G3 baby herd. She was a little banged up but nothing a good spa day wouldn't fix. However, she had some marks on her face that just would NOT come off so...I pulled out the Goof Off. I have used this before without any problems since I'm always really careful about not getting it on my hands/eyes/etc. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Baby Romperooni

I took too big of a swipe with the Q-tip and half her eye now looks like it's melted off. I FEEL AWFUL  Seriously, I can't even take a picture of her to show because I just feel so bad. I shoved her in the back of the bin and I can't bear to look at her. I know, it's not like she's my childhood pony or even that I've had her for too long or that she'd be super hard to replace. But I just feel SO bad, like I can't replace her. I'm terrible at painting so I have no idea if I can fix it or even know how-do I wipe the whole rest of the eye off?

I saw the other thread with the other poor little baby pony that was suffering from some bad spots and the suggestions of dressing her up were super cute, but I don't know how I could cover her eye without some sort of eye patch. I don't really want to do that though since it just feels super obvious

I know, I shouldn't be this upset but I've always tried to be really careful around my ponies and I can't believe I was so stupid to make such a mistake. She hasn't even been here 24 hours! 

So I've been wanting to go to our local flea market for a LONG time but just never had the time to. Well this weekend my sister and I finally decided to make the trip, woke up super early on Saturday to drive on over...and found out it was closed@  So much disappointment, but since we were already out and had made the trip we didn't just want to head home. So we drove around for a little bit since there was a cute town nearby and my sister spotted a tiny little shop that looked like a cute second hand boutique so we stopped inside. Who did my sister find?

Applejack and Medley! I already have an AJ, but she's in my favorite pose and just so sweet looking I couldn't leave her behind! And now that she's home and I'm able to compare her to my other one, I'm surprised to find that they each have their mane flipped a different way. I wonder why that is, but I like that they're each unique! The little mirror was only $2 and super adorable too.

Then, as I kept browsing the store I came across a MLP thermos, super adorable but sadly a bit out of my price range. But when I picked up the thermos, look who was hiding behind!

So sweet! I think her name is Little Flitter? I don't normally collect these types of ponies, but she's just so pretty and her wings are completely intact that I think this beautiful girl may just have to stick around <3

Now today we decided to try our luck at the flea market again, and huzzah! It was open! The luck started off slow, one lone little yellow pony ( the one with the umbrella cutie mark) stashed away in a basket. Then a little better, found 6 at a table, including my little G3 baby! So excited about her! Traveled on a little further, found a table with a few and man putting a few more out. As he saw me picking out the ponies, he went back, and came out with a tub halfway filled with them!!  I was SO EXCITED!!! I found not only G3s, but a G4 Cupcake, the little yellow G1 baby and 2 G2's! My first G2's ever! Unfortunately I had to leave some behind but I was able to snag my favorites. Then on our way out, picked up the cute little Breezie for a quarter

Unfortunately I only know the name of like five of these ponies and I'd love some help identifying them! I hope to clean them all up since they all actually seem to be in fairly good condition, nothing a bath and some good conditioner cant help, and I'm sure at least half of them will be up for sale sometime down the road.

So, I tried asking this on their Help forums...but apparently trial users aren't allowed to ask questions. UGH.

And I know this is like, a really stupid question. But I've read every manual and typed in everything I could think of on Google, but for the life of my I can not figure out how to actually GET to my pony's profile in order to feed and vet him. Everything I've read either tells me how to understand the profile or to use it , but I can't seem to find it in the first place! I've clicked everywhere but I've yet to find it and I would really like to take care of him. Can someone please help me out?

So I know this has been discussed a few times, but I'd really like to drudge up this old topic just one more time since I'd like to get your guys' thoughts from those of you who collect armies? I never really 'got' armies, though of course I don't belittle anyone who has one, we all collect differently of course But more and more lately, I find myself wanting to buy every single G3 baby I happen to come across, even if I already have her! I don't know why, I'll stop and remind myself I already HAVE one and don't need doubles, but it got me to thinking about armies.

So I'd like to hear your thoughts on them. What, to you, is the appeal of owning an army? Or is your army made up of different poses and variations so you don't actually have the same pony over and over again? I don't want to start buying up all these babies only to later feel like I've wasted my money, but at the same time, something about those G3 babies...they all tug at my heartstrings in the best possible way! I feel so sad leaving one behind! If I knew how to do customs I'd use my extras to make customs from my other favorite ponies

So, I'm still pretty new to collecting comics, but I know that sometimes multiple issues of a comic will be combined into one volume. I'm wondering if its been confirmed or mentioned anywhere at all if the MLP comics will also be sold later in this way? I know I can buy the individual issues right now, but if say 4 of them will be released later in 1 volume then I'm fine waiting till then since I like having less clutter and I think they tend to look nicer that way.

So, I have a few G1's here, most in fair to bait condition that are in need of a new home. Because they were a gift to me their previous owner has asked that I don't sell them, but is okay if I either trade them or just give them away. Since they're not exactly rare ponies or worth a whole lot I haven't had much luck trading them, and I don't mind just giving them away for the cost of postage. Problem is, I feel like I want to do this in a way that's fair, so someone doesn't come along and take the lot of them just because they can. I really want to be absolutely sure these ponies will be taken cared of (maybe I'm thinking too much about it) since they were so generously given to me for free and I feel like I have to do right by them.

Any suggestions for how I might go about this?
