She's really pretty, you did a great job on her! :heart: I love the blaze on her face, and her bright green color! What a fun pony!

Customs / Re: How would you strip a paint job?

Is it acrylic paint? Honestly, there’s a lot to be said for hot water! I’d probably start with a very hot soak, maybe even in a pot on the stove, and let it soak for a bit. Then try to peel it up with your fingertips or a chopstick, or some sharp tool? You might be able to scrape a lot of it off! Maybe some dish soap too? Best of luck!

Does your pony have a food item in her symbol?

Omg, right after I sent it I realized she is TAF, not a simple symbol! Oops! :rofl: my bad! She’s my go-to of “not quite pink, not quite purple”! I’ll wait to guess again!

Woah, I’m glad you didn’t trash it Nella! A baity mansion would probably still be worth something to a collector, because I imagine it would be like a baity Mimic - it’s still a Mimic, but more affordable for the average person!

Pony Corral / Re: Hair is falling apart…
« on: August 17, 2023, 12:29:51 AM »
Oh no, I've had that happen before! It's called dry rot, and although it inevitably happens to polypropylene hair with enough time, it can happen to almost any kind of hair, given the right circumstances. Usually excessive heat over a long time, I think, like being stored in a hot attic/garage for years? But I'm not 100% sure!

It happened to a set of fakies I have - three of the same kind, all little donkeys, with this same very light pink hair. Opened up my fakie bin to do some reorganizing, and I was thinking, where did this pink dust come from? Not dust - the powderified pink hair, destroyed by dry rot! :yikes: I also had a G1 Barnacle arrive to me with EXTREME sun damage, and his body was incredibly sunburnt and yellowed. His hair was this incredible pastel orange, and when I tried to touch it, it started shredding and falling apart!

I've generally seen it happen with red-tones of hair, like red, orange, and pink, but I think in the right circumstances it can happen to any pony. Remco fakies are pretty notorious for it, almost all of my vintage Remcos have a missing red/orange stripe! :( Sadly there's no cure, they just start crumbling one day. One thing I would suggest to protect your herd in the future would be to add a little conditioner to your wash routine! That'll return some much-needed oil to the plastic hair, and will help it stay moisturized and hopefully last longer! :) Big hugs!! I think Fairy Tale birds are relatively easy to rehair, because their head-hair and tail-hair are both basically just tails, which are pretty quick and easy to replace!

To BlackCurtains, thanks and I will  ^.^. Not sure if my fan art here still exists from years ago because of what happened wth Photobucket. If it has vanished, if people want I'll share those pieces again?

To TheClassCalico, thanks as well  :). That was part of the reason why I did the piece in that style. Too many people on DA doing what almost feels like copy & paste works ( especially for G4 ).

Please note digital paintings aren't something I do every day. Like the last one before Tempest was done I think at the start of Dec. ( work art ).

LMAO I clicked for the scary-intense Tempest art, and I got Care Bears sipping coffee! Amazing! I hope that's some good java they're willing to share at least, poor Medley made that whole journey for nothing! :lmao:

Oooh, now I'd love to see a metallic-haired Starcatcher!! :frolic: That sounds stunning! I have a bald one too, and I've been struggling for some inspiration!

Let's see... right now I'm kind of hyperfocused on a custom I'm trying to work on, 'trying' being the formative word! I'm stuck on the color scheme, even if the whole theme has come together in my mind otherwise already! Aaahhh! :lmao: But in terms of actual ponies, I am quite enamored with one of my birthday gifts, Opaline!!

(not my pic!)

I mean, she's gorgeous! And I love that they're making the villain ponies somewhat early on in the line, although now that I think about it, hasn't G5 been out for like a year or more now? So I guess they're kind of in line with the previous iteration where we got a Nightmare Moon toy a year or two in! Still, I'm excited for her - and she has these clear sparkly-glitter blue hooves that are just entrancing. I quite dislike her little sculpted braid over her ear, but I imagine that's kind of a necessary evil, along with the gallon of hair gel in her curls. I want to totally restyle her, but for now I'm just admiring her evil beauty! :heart:
