Showing off my favortie Customs! (Rozen eyes ponys)

[sd_dreamcrystal]

*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"

Lol I know what you mean with the BBEs... actually the first eyes I dismantled but never customed were BBEs for ponies... found out those were easy to get he eye chips out without having really pry anything but the casing around the eyes themselves I'll have to give this a try though, but not with the eyes I already have since they are the only ones I have for this set of ponies *TO ORDERING! ..... ^_soon*

Oh man i have a hard enough time setting eyes and lashes in my dolls let alone a pony head!

Amazing work, Lovely to see something so unique, altho sounds like well be seeing more of them around now, so will not be so unique anymore, but still amazing. I bet theyre so much more beautiful in real life, cameras really dont show true beauty in colourchange things!

Sorry? *is confused*
I shared because I am very curious on seeing what a community of creative people would do with this method.

...at least I can claim that I was the first!  I have that! It's enough isn't it? 

[Saja]

Sorry for the confusion, was just meaning, How great it is to see something that no one here has done thats all. Its awesome of you to share that! And you will be known as the first! Thats great.

Okay they are not quite what I thought they were. I thought they were these smooth round stick on gems I got at Michaels.

[Kanthaka]

Those eyes are something else, and it's so kind of you to share your technique with everyone!  While I think these eyes are definitely the highlights of the customs (I can't stop looking at them, they're so pretty!), the symbols are lovely, too.  Such perfect, delicate lines and details!

As for pricing commissions... like CSA said, that one's tricky.     One way to start is to set a price that you would be very happy with.  If your customs sell quickly at that price, you can raise the price if you're comfortable doing so; if they don't sell as fast as you'd like, you can lower it.

I think they are gorgeous! The blue one in perticular!

I'm afraid to say I don't think you were the first to put them on ponies unless you made this one a while back:

This was also shown on the mlparena but can't and wouldn't be able to find the post now! It is a custom not a new hasbro design like the post suggests cause I remember seeing it here
Anyone know who made her?

On page two of that thread you linked, Avea states that the pony is made by "allgoodstrading" and also links to a david bowie pony picture with glass eyes.

These eyes look wonderful, I can't view your videos as the contain music of SME and it's not allowed because the german GEMA restricted it to play. Do you have it without the music too maybe?

Oh....ugh,  Sorry, but those eyes and lash combo, to be frank, are ugly. Are you sure this was a Hasbro prototype design?

My gripe is:  THe eye itself is natrual colors with a black pupil, in where lies the "creepiness"  factor, more fantastical colors and a silghtly darker pupil (From the orginal color) would have made the pony more "Fantasy-like"  and lowered the uncanny vally effect that eyes with black pupil have.  (Eyes are too realistic.)
 And the fact that the lashes all one lenth with no tapering at the corners look like a dead caterplier........

...but I mean......It's a nice pony  ._.

Sorry,  but a very mean person reported my video as it was posted just because it was a tutoiral that would have lowered thier bussiness sales.

@ elysion

That's strange about the video 

As for the pony with those "real eyes" it was indeed done by allgoodstrading and she used prefabricated silicone eyes by EyeCo. I asked her about it and did 2 ponies by myself with these ones yet (more will come in the near future):

The self-made ones you use are a new and unique idea to my knowledge.

 people  can be very greedy when they want to make money, 


....I still think that they are creepy. *lol* It's the pupils that creep me out, it's a bit too real in toy ponys.
If I where to  make a "natural"  colored fart,  I'd use very dark brown eyes for the eyes.  that way it's more natural in terms of real ponys and horses.

[lovelauraland]

Yeah no like I said they were made by Allgoodstrading, I just wanted to point out that they were not a hasbro proto like in the post on TP.
I had some all pink ones, they were dark pink pupils and like pink around the outside but I ruined them trying to get them to fit
