Pony Corral / PC: HTF G4s
« on: September 10, 2017, 06:04:31 PM »
These are the last 4 ponies I need for my G4 collection, just want to check how much I should expect to pay for them.  Are there significant differences in the price loose and MIB for Blossomforth and Holly Dash?

Customs / Moevelvet's WIP Thread

I figure this will be a good way to get myself motivated!  Here are the three customs I'm currently working on.  Please excuse my mess!

First up is Haute Couture Bow Tie

Bow Tie arrived to me in a lot of baits.  I nicknamed her 'French Bow Tie' almost right away - I'm not sure why.  (She's not French)  As I was removing her hair, I noticed that her scalp had split.  I've decided that she needs a glamour treatment.  She's going to get cleaned, repainted and rehaired (somehow), and I'm going to make her a one-of-a-kind designer outfit.

Next is Thrice As Fancy Bright Eyes

She arrived to me as a bait pony.  Major symbol rubs, chipped eyes, and cut hair.  She's going to be made into a companion for Thrice As Fancy Gingerbread (pic in spoiler).  First thing is to see if I can polish up those eyes.  Then, a fancy new repaint and lots of rhinestones!!

Finally, we have My Little Chocobo

I bought this Celestia what seems like ages ago, for a completely different custom.  I knew virtually nothing about customizing, and I messed up badly.  The poor girl has been sitting around ever since, her head cut off, no tail, no wings, and gouges from an xacto knife on her legs.  The inspiration came when I was playing Final Fantasy XIV with my brother, and I asked him when I would be able to get a chocobo.  He googled it and told me the name of the quest: My Little Chocobo.  I had to do it.  This custom is going to take a LOT of sculpting, and when I'm done will (hopefully!) have poseable wings and real feathers.

Pony Corral / Hair problems
« on: October 12, 2015, 05:44:38 PM »
Okay, so I've got this little darling mostly cleaned up.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

SHe's just got two problems left.  She has something red in her mane - I'm guessing either nail polish or lipstick - and her tail is super frizzed at the tips.
I was going to try some eye makeup remover on her mane, but I couldn't find mine.  That would remove it if it's lipstick, right?  I'm already tried washing it with dish soap and shampoo.  And I've tried conditioner and dipping in boiling water for the tail.

Can anyone help this poor pony?

I got the living room set last year, and I found the bedroom when I went to Ikea yesterday to get a shelf for my ponies!

The furniture is 1/6 scale.

Customs / Does anyone know the artist? (G4 Wigwam)
« on: October 10, 2015, 09:06:39 PM »
I purchased this custom at Cutie Mark Con in 2013.  I'm hoping to find the artist and contact them.  Does anyone recognize him?

Pony Corral / Show me clean, happy ponies!
« on: September 19, 2015, 01:00:27 PM »
I've been working on cleaning a big lot of ponies, but my fingers are all pruney, so I'm taking a break.

Show me pictures of ponies that you've cleaned up or restored, so I can imagine how happy mine will be when I'm done!

She's in absolutely terrible condition, but I'm gonna clean her up and make her nice and pretty again!   :lovey: :happy:

Was so excited to share her I couldn't wait.  I'm probably gonna go back to bed now.  :zzz:

Pony Corral / BBE Anatomy
« on: September 05, 2015, 12:41:20 PM »
I just recieved my second BBE pony today, and she has some pretty bad eye rust.  Which is actually one the reasons I bought her, because I wanted to fix her up.  Any recommendations, or even better, pictures of how it's set in her head and how it works?

Hi, I'm looking to buy (or trade for!) a 6/7 bjd wig.  I'm open to any style or color, but it's for a boy, so not too girly.  Please PM me with pictures and prices!

Pony Corral / What makes a pony "bait"?
« on: August 31, 2015, 07:49:20 PM »
I know everyone has different standards.  A lot of ponies in my collection would be considered "bait" to others.
Maybe I'm just sentimental, but I can hardly ever bring myself to wipe a pony clean unless she's completely unfixable.
So what about you?  WHat specific qualities make a pony "bait" to you?

Customs / New customs - Sundance and Gingerbread
« on: August 31, 2015, 10:16:55 AM »
These girls have been waiting for a long time.  You might remember them from this thread.

First up is Sundance.

This is the only picture I took of her 'before.'  She had frizzy, frizzy hair - heat damaged beyond repair.  I tried to defriz it, but I just gave up and took it out.

She sat around bald for a while while I decided what to do with her.  I don't have any extra pony hair lying around, so I had to find a substitute.

I found this tutorial and decided to try it.  I made my own rehairing tool and used some pink yarn I had.

The mane took the longest, almost three hours.  Once it was done, the tail was easy.

And then I brushed her hair. I brushed her hair for five hours.
Here's what she looked like at the end:

(Please ignore the mess...  :yikes:)

Bonus Sundance selfies

And now for Gingerbread.  Gingerbread was a pretty intensive custom for me.

As a reminder, here are her before pictures:

Just looking at her made me sad.  She was rock hard and had highlighter marks, browning and sharpie over her cutie mark.
I had no idea what to do.  Eventually I decided on a full body repaint.  And it just snowballed from there.

I fully repainted her body, added details in blue and purple, bedazzled her with Swarovski crystals, and restyled her hair.

I picked this girl up at Goodwill last year for $3.  I've only cleaned her very gently, so she still has some marks and the price was written on the bottom of her hoof.  She has her diaper and her mechanism still works.
I'm not currently planning to sell her, but I was wondering how much she goes for?

Arts & Crafts Corral / Nachtlicht/Nightlight Plush

Just completed this girl!  She is very experimental, and thus absolutely one of a kind.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


She was made without a pattern.  Nachtlicht was chosen based on the complexity of her symbol and the colors of fabric that I had on hand.

This is the first time that I've tried stitching details like this.  I made several mistakes, but overall I'm pleased with the result.

She is weighted in her mane, tail, and legs.  She tends to tip forward due to her head being too heavy.

She's a little bit fat, so she can't stand, only lie down.
