The most I've ever had going is 8. I just don't have the time for more than that. I've seen it sometimes when my inspiration will hit zero so I will just rehair ponies and paint their eyes. They will sit and stare at me, waiting for their symbols or some form of decoration and I just won't be able to think of anything. I had a group of about 15 like that once:( I currently have one who is rehaired and is waiting on completion and she's been like that for about 2 months. I just can't think of anything for her.

I normally work on around 5-10 at once. When I was preparing for BronyCon I think i had around 20 or so I was working all all at the same time. I somehow managed to get them all done in time.

5 right now, as I am waiting to receive some supplies so I go on with the job until I can and then pass to another pony  :) and also I would like to finish them faster as I have many other projects in my head

A set of 7 (that I realise I have never shown here) And I did one or two smaller projects while working on those.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who takes on a high number of customs at once!

Just drilled the holes in my two Chrysalis customs last night.  If I get the sculpting done today, I just might get them done in time...

My record is nine, and I'm currently at either four or eight, depending on how strictly you want to define "active." Fourish seems to be about my sweet spot, the place where I'm neither so mired in one custom that I feel unmotivated nor spread out so far that I get guilty feelings about 'neglecting' the ones I haven't worked on in a while.

I prefer just doing one at a time if I can help it. Otherwise I'll keep flittering around the different ponies, doing just a little on each and not really feeling like I'm getting anything done.

However, these past few months have forced me to multitask. I made a custom for a friend's birthday, then joined a custom swap. Then another friend's birthday is coming up along with antoher swap I'm into. I also wanted to do some Halloween themed ponies for me, but those might have to be on the back burner.

I find it a little stressful. You amazing cusomizers who can do several at once just amaze me!

One time I was commissioned to make 7 total for one customer, bringing my total up to 11 at one time... plus one that I was making for a gift @_@ I felt bad for taking on so much at once though because it took me almost a month to gather supplies and finish them. I think, if I ever reopen, I'm strictly only going to open 1 or 2 slots at once. x_x

I just counted 38 WIPs on my work shelves, counting the Halloween Swap  pony. All are in various stages of completion, most of them I plan to have finished by MFF this November. Like Alatariel-Silimaure, some of them haven't been touched in a few months. XD
My creativity keeps running into a lack of time and resources.  :cry:
I'm also available via twitter at @Kazzellin :)

So many projects!! What do I want to work on? :awake:

Er... I think I'm a "slow" one when it comes to ponies...

I like to have 2-3 that I rotate on at a time otherwise I get overwhelmed and procrastination kicks in...

Most I've had is 8, but really I like working on one or two at a time. :D
