Showing off my favortie Customs! (Rozen eyes ponys)

[elysion gear]

I just checked out a few of your tutorials, and it looks simple enough for just painting the backs of the eyeballs.. But how do you actually secure them into the pony? Im really excited to see more tutorials as you have time for them! I have so many questions bubbling up. Would you mind if I made a list of my questions and PMd you?

I don't mind at all, I'd be happy to help anyone out who wants to make ponys like mine.

WOAH, those are awesome!  I don't collect BJD, but have always thought the eyes on them were pretty amazing...so to see them used on a pony is just LOVE!  

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and where to buy them!  That is really cool of you.    
 
ETA:  Do you have any plans to sell ready made eyes that could be bought and then put into a custom? 

[sd_dreamcrystal]

You are so very kind to share how to make the eyes! They are gorgeous! I would love to see some close up shots of those eyes!

I like shareing,   I had been making customs eyes for well over 7 years.    Selling them on the BJDs fourm Den of Angels. as well as posting up tutorials and helping other make eyes.

The reason I wanted to share is to see what other people would do with adding these eyes to thier custom ponys. 

Uhm....So pretty please?   

I'm actually trying to remake some eyes for some fakie ponies I have, this could be useful for me! The bad thing is... looking at the links they are not the shape I need for eye blanks :c Or not... looked in the wrong place

the rose on the first is so well drawn! It looks like the rose from beauty and the beast :3

I really love the eyes from the blue one!

You could probably do a great sideline selling those eyes.  Too cool!

I used to sell eyes, but it's becoming hard for me since I live a why out in the boonies, it's hard to get to the post office.  (I walk 20 mins down highways into the nearst town.) ;

But,  I don't mind offering ready made eyes if I'm asked,  It will just take me awhile to get them shipped out.

And......There's the problem on the money end of things,  I have any right now which is why I'm gonna try to sell a custom pony to buy more eye makeing supplies. 
I don't like to ask for custom eye payments untill the the eyes are compleated. ;;

Thank you!  I love her,  she's not exactly "perfect"  But she's so pretty, My first "rose"   I don't have her on hand right now. (I like to update her photos.)  My mother is keeping my herd in another town.  I can't wait to get back home to see her again.

I have a question... eyes that are already made... how do you dismantle them?

[NoDivision]

Beautiful! They eyes look great and I love lashes on ponies.

The eyes I use already come dismantled,  They come from the company in two parts ready for painting/customizing.

Please take a look at my website, if the answer isn't there, I'll try my best to answer your questions here.

You should see it in person,
It glimmers  blue, green and hints of violet.
(Depending on which way you trun it)

Honestly I did but according to your links the place that sells the 'oval' eyes says they need to be dismantle I would buy the already dismantled ones but they are not the shape I need Still the site is useful and I'll be looking back there

The oval eyes?  oh ok,  I have a photo tutorial that shows how to dismantle them, it's not ready to be posted up the website yet, but  It will be up soon!

Meanwhile, I offer photos from the tut.  (This method will slightly damage the eye-base. but if places correctly in the pony, the damage of the pin-hole will not show)

Basicly Your making a hole on the base on the side of the iris then useing a pin to stick under the iris to pry it up and out.
(Hammertime!)

These are stunning, I love your eyes I have some exspensive ones ready painted that I was going to use but I think I got the wrong size or I cut the wrong size hole so I gave up, I would love to see how you cut the ponies eye holes to know how they fit in and what size eyes you use? Can you do a tutorial for us and what glue do you use to keep them in? I'm not too keen on the eye lashes though! By the way your painting is stunning, that rose is beautiful!

Ah I see! I might have to try it with some eyes I pulled from a pony already. Also, love the fact the BJD is the one handling the eye and needle! Saves your hands from pain... sort of

 Thank you for the suggestion,   I suppose if I want to see other customiser's pony with these eyes I should  do a tutorial eh?

Ok,  I will do it, but It won't be posted up till tomorrow,  I hope that everyone can be patient till then.
It also may answer a lot of questions that I'm seeing here.

*Whew*  I'm drowning in questions......

*lol!*   Yeah  I think I know what kind of eyes you mean, becareful the plastic from those eyes are soft.
 Hee hee, I was having a bit of fun with my dolls.

Ya know.... the very first set of eyes that I customised was that of  a beddybye baby.  THey where so rusty and ugly that I used a pin to pry the eye chip out  and  clean the back of it  then repainted it red.  then glued it back. 
I don't like Beddybye babies I find them rather creepy. so it was my first "victim"
