For Trade / TRADED!My 5 intl excls for a MH boy/EaH Maddie
« on: August 01, 2013, 03:21:10 AM »
I found a trade person so I'm marking this as traded :)

This is mostly a feeler, but I'm wondering if anyone in the US would be willing to pick up one of the current Monster High male releases (Music Festival Clawd or Home Ick Heath) in exchange for all five of my international exclusives? I have Star Dreams, Star Swirl, Sky Wishes, Daisy Dreams and Rainbow Flash. They're all loose but I have most of their accessories.

My ebay ID is mr.pickles23 and I live in Australia.

EDIT: I'm also open for trading for an Ever After High Maddie Hatter as well if anyone is willing to locate one for me.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Totally Talented Pet Band Featuring Blythe
« on: December 09, 2012, 11:18:46 PM »
Man, I really dig the facial screening on Blythe and think her eyes look so much nicer without the thick eyelashes and such. Alas, I really don't like much of the other accessories and pets, so i can't justify $30 AUD on her.

With the current pony poll happening, I felt inspired to actually attempt drawing my favourite boy, even though the only thing I have is a mouse and GIMP, heh. I hope you like it!

Pony Brag Arena / G1 Repros at the Arcade
« on: October 29, 2012, 02:50:33 AM »
So me and my friend were at Galactic Circus (a HUGE arcade in Melbourne city) and we both loaded up on $30 cards and went nuts playing all the games. Between us we got about 1000 tickets and yeah, we decided to redeem them for prizes.

Imagine to my surprise to see two G1 repros in the prizes display for the cost of 210 tickets each (when the rest of the prizes were things like stickers or dinky plastic knockoffs in that prize range). The hair was simply awful but hey, I still wanted to get at least Minty because green ponies are cool. Turns out despite having two drawers filled with the blue pony, the only Minty left was in the display, so I just got that one. And I got the other pony (anyone know who she is?) just because I had about 300-ish tickets left and the rest of the prizes didn't interest me.

I boil permed them so their hair lays better and yeah.

For Trade / Loose G4 Sky Wishes for Funko Bubbles?
« on: October 17, 2012, 05:21:35 AM »
I have a loose, freshly removed from box Sky Wishes pony I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to trade for a Funko Bubbles figure. I might also have a loose Starswirl somewhere here, but I'm currently not in my room to confirm it from the Rarity carriage set.

Heya, my first time posting in here. I won an Ebay auction from the Ebay Seller Silverbis1 on the 29th of August for a lot of 4 ponies described as baits and opted to pay by Bank Deposit on September 4th. I would have paid by the next day after the auction ended, but it took me a few days of running around trying to find a way to pay this person, due to their bank not having a branch in my state.

Anyway, after I paid, I've heard basically nothing. I decided to give the benefit of the doubt as I was late myself in paying the person and such, but after a few weeks of nothing turning up in the mail I sent them a polite ebay message via "Ask the Seller a Question" a few days ago without any response.

"Dear silveribis1,

I haven't received the items since paying about two weeks ago. If I can have an update about them, that would be good :)

- mr.pickles23"

And I'm getting really antsy about the lack of response and don't know what to do. I honestly just want my ponies and have this done with, but it's getting less and less likely.

For Trade / Daisy Dreams or Rainbow Flash for Cherry Berry?
« on: August 05, 2012, 01:40:28 PM »
I have a loose Daisy Dreams (no forelock)/Rainbow Flash I'm willing to trade either for a Cherry Berry brushable also loose without accessories.

I am willing to trade both if you manage to get both Cherry Berry and Trixie or Lyra. I also live in Australia which may factor into willingness to trade. No sales thank you.

Pony Corral / Pics of the Wedding Castle?
« on: July 30, 2012, 09:21:19 AM »
I've been flip flopping between getting the castle or not since the first pics of them trickled out, and it's been exceedingly difficult to find out of box photos of it. I think it would be a nice display piece and a great way to customize it to look nicer, but I'm not fully convinced of actually getting it when it comes out here.

Pony Brag Arena / My first G1s!
« on: July 10, 2012, 08:05:10 PM »
Well, actually, first-ish, since I had Seashells for about 10 months. But now she has friends! Woo. They're still kinda dingy and and have smooze and stuff on them, but I'm genuinely happy to have these girls in my possession!

I can't wait to style and clean them though!

Also, I scrubbed all of them in hot soapy water, but it seems Surprise has genuinely turned this really... weird colour. I would at least like some more contrast between her hair and her body, if I can't restore it to her pure white. What should I do???

Customs / Queen Chrysalis w/ temp. wings
« on: April 27, 2012, 09:49:06 AM »



Any ways, here is my Chrysalis custom painted up and all shiny. Can I just say she is IMPOSSIBLE to photograph because of how dark she is? Also her tail looks weird from any angle asides from the back, yes.


She is a molded Celestia body with a Fluttershy head, with an extended neck, and her hooves molded with milliput and had holes carved into them. The rest of the bits are also milliput and tears. I studied from the screencaps that she is indeed slightly taller than Celestia and is a head taller than Shining Armor so I used my Shining Armor as a reference. Her temporary wings are stolen from 3D glasses because I wanted a place holder for them.


She is definitely my most labour intensive, milliput laden and design complicated custom I have ever attempted and probably would not do ever again. Also her hair kept snapping off so she’s definitely fragile and such.I know that there’s already a bunch of Chrysalis customs and I’ll never match the speed or quality but hey, this was my personal project and I’m pretty chuffed at her.
I’ll take more pics when I get her proper wings done.

Customs / Cadence and Shining Armor restyled/customized
« on: April 23, 2012, 09:12:35 AM »
So I received my Taobao ponies on the same day as the episode aired so after watching the ep I instantly got to work, muaha!

Okay, I was sort of concerned seeing Shining Armor’s toy pictures but when I got him in my hand I could see him being reasonably awesome to work with. One thing I notice is that he’s really, really big in scale. Whilst I like the sculpt I hope there will be a slightly smaller stallion mold in the future.
Any ways, I sculpted his hair and painted his hooves and filled in his pupil. I personally like these improvements though I know others wouldn’t really approve of me customizing an unreleased pony yet.

And here is Cadence with her hair restyled. Her hair was much thinner than I would have liked and her tail lacked colours but I wanted to try curling her hair and giving it some volume.
Of course I now need to make Chrysalis to complete my canon collection of alicorns.

Customs / Flower Trio, Pipsqueak, Posey, Photo Finish
« on: January 30, 2012, 05:23:00 PM »
I had a literal flood of sweetie belles recently due to getting the CMC set and trades and such and I thought “Hmmm, I should make Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara” but I grew a brain and decided not to. I then saw my crappy Pipsqueak sculpt I was making and thought that using a Sweetie Belle base would be good. So I lopped off a horn and ears and stuck on a pair of Rarity’s ears on him. I looked up Pipsqueak fanart on some pony image site and asides from the unsavoury… pics, I found a really cute grown up version of him with a neck scarf.
And so here is a slightly older Pipsqueak with a neck scarf. I painted him at the mini pony art meet and surprisingly he turned out very decent.


Also scary butt fun

Welp, the Flower Trio. I was going to split it into three separate posts but I got lazy. Plus the fact I didn’t take many pics of them to split separately.
Anyways, these three are a Pinkie Pie, Plumsweet and Cupcake bases with milliput hair and acrylics. I put off doing these indivually because they’re already recolours of ponies I’ve already done and I felt it looked weird if I didn’t have the trio. Not much else to say except it was pretty easy to do these gals and I’m glad they’re done.
I just need a bunch of things for them to freak out at.
Btw I was inspired to do these three partly thanks to the Ask the Flower Trio tumblr so go send them some love here: http://asktheflowertrio.tumblr.com/

Daisy is the first third of my Flower Trio. She's a Pinkie Pie I slapped milliput hair on with and made her hair and eyes green.
Not much to say except I totally pair her and Sir Colton together since she's the only one of the three to actually wander off on her own. So I'm planning to make a Colton eventually...

Here is Lily made from a Pinkie Pie recolour, cupcake. Her lily is from a Monster High Lagoona and the rest of her is milliput. With her together I really love her colours together and squee a tad. Thanks to the Ask Flower Trio Tumblr I wanna get her video games and a wide screen tv to procrastinate on...

And here is Rose, also known as Roseluck. However, since the show refers to her as Rose she is Rose. Roseluck is just her Hasbro name (which they also called Daisy Flower Wishes so I'm just going to disregard Hasbro canon for the moment).
Anyways, she is a Plumsweet I stained with copics to be the off white colour, hurr durr. It was a bit uneven and didn't take in some places, but hey, she's done and I can move on.

On my list of concept mane 6 based on G1 ponies was Posey, a generation xerox of Fluttershy. The most I did was style the hair of a fluttershy and cutting off her wings, and sanding it back a bit. Otherwise she was possible the easiest of the concept ponies (asides from Applejack).
I already have a Lulu Luck lined up for Twilight, and hankering for that pink coat/blue hair peg for Firefly, but I have absolutely no idea how to approach doing Rarity’s concept pony, most because she’s had *one* recolour of her done in the single packs.

WELP, turns out I was sitting on these pics since the beginning of November (due to real life lol) and I assumed I already posted these pics of Photo Finish…
Anyways, Photo Finish is made from a Rainbow Dash with her wings chopped off and such. I decided to make her cuz she really reminded me of my High School Photography teacher (ironically my best friend is like Fluttershy and I was very much like Rarity…) and plus I love the hamminess of her character.
Heck, even two months ago, I can see where my skills have improved and how far I’ve come in terms of customizing, but still, I love this custom, flaws and all.

Customs / Equestrian Princesses
« on: January 30, 2012, 05:02:47 PM »
So here are Celestia and Luna. I… I was not enthused at this project. It doesn’t feel like a custom, but rather fixing up a gigantic hot mess Hasbro crapped out. After painting Celestia white, she feels and looks more regal and less… childish. I know that adults THINK girls like pink, but honestly, the over abundance of Pinkie Pie and generic pink recolours should have been sufficient.
Any ways, it’s good that our celestial ruler has finally come to my shelf in her proper form.

Geeze, I’ve only had this girl sculpted and unpainted since… October.
At first I wanted to give her Nightmare Night hair but I realised how stupid it looked in Milliput so I just lopped it off and sculpted her first hair style. Who knows, I might actually do the Nightmare Night hair on an altered Celestia instead…
Anyways, she is indeed taller than my other ponies but not Celestia’s height. Hopefully she looks comparably good to my other Luna I did for a friend.

Customs / G4 Pegasi (Wonderbolts and Surprise)
« on: January 30, 2012, 04:43:13 PM »
Blaaaaaah so much to catch up on... Anyways I've been working on a bunch of pony stuff and decided to redo my Spitfire. So yeah, I decided to redo her head and give her sculpted hair, nicer eyes and generally a darker coat. I studied the screencaps and realised that the Twilight eyes she has are basically the roud eyes but with a little white triangle attached. So she looks so much better than my first derped up attempt.
Anyways, she’s a much brighter yellow than Fluttershy and basically, I’m very happy with her result. Hee.

And here is Soarin in which I originally made to go with my Spitfire… which resulted in me recustomizing her to go with Soarin. He’s basically a Rainbow Dash base and altered with milliput. Before anyone asks, I’m trying to find a pie for him so he can nom at it all he wants.
Anyways I need to get a Blossomforth to turn into the third Wonderbolt because it seems weird not having a trio of them failing to save Ponyville.

So basically, I follow a bunch of Ask Pony roleplay blogs and all of them combine art and writing seriously well. Now while I usually only follow alternate versions of the main characters I do read a bunch of background character blogs as well. It’s actually because of them I’ve been able to give a crap about making the custom pony versions of them.
Now, Echo Fleetfoot had such a pretty colour scheme and such a sweet backstory (being blind and having echolocation as her talent) I decided to give doing her hairstyle and eyes would be an awesome challenge.
I am debating on giving her rosy cheeks but hey, I got her little buck teeth and eyes mostly well done…
Check out her blog here:

So I’m a huge fan of Pinkie Pie and I adore all forms of her, especially concept form. Part of me will always mourn Surprise not being part of the mane 6 or at least her colour scheme because I think it looks really nice with her purple eyes, white coat and yellow hair. Pinkie Pie is amazing, but really, she’s kind of of too… overwhelmingly pink at times.
Anyways, I’m slowly making the concept mane 6, but I kind of want them to be mirror images of the mane 6 I currently have so I’m going to rehair them. Surprise was first on my list due to her awesomeness (and awesome ask blog http://asksurprise.tumblr.com/ )… As you can see I’m sort of failed on her crazy hair but I think it’s adorable looking…
Surprise was made from a Plumsweet head, Blossomforth body generously given to me in a trade, her hair being a mix of Rainbow Dash’s, Rainbow Flash’s and Lily Blossom’s hair…
I chose to go for this combo rather than wait for Diamond Rose just because Plumsweet’s eyes are purple and I’d rather not mess with eyepaint if possible.
