Hmm did not think about that, I can make you some...I do not think it will be much more than cost...message me with what you need (Dad, Mom, son, daughter, pets, etc) and how many of each

The two images on the bottom are mine, I'm not sure I am comfortable with them being sold for profit tbh...

I JUST posted about this very thing at the TP yesterday! I would love to buy some too. ..providing the cost isn't super high for the size. You know, you could maybe use line art from the old coloring books for the kids since the bottom two are Moonflower's art. See me, I'd love a Barnacle, maybe a baby Quackers..

You would totally be able to sell them if you make them, I'm sure.  How expensive do you think they would be to make? If you sell them, you should make some profit.

Heck, if you do decide to make stuff like that, and want me to dig up the line art of what I want, I could do that.

Oh moonflower I am sorry! I found them on a printable color page site, so I thought they were Hasbro! So guys If I do print them for you I will not be using those two little ones! I did find another on that is cute and looks authentic....

As far as brother ponies I only have found old coloring pics of steamer, salty and tex...if you can find a barnacle I  would make it. I do not know what to ask for them, I was thinking $7.50 per paper printed. I did mine on one sheet for the 4 ponies...the cost was pretty much to cover the paper and ink used to print them...

How are you making these decals? I'm just curious on the longevity outside and what they are made of.
Probably doesn't own a stolen piece of the Taj Mahal.

I am using a vinyl that has and adhesive on the back. It does no seem to leave residue when removed and is reusable. I do not know if I can give a longevity on them as I have not tested them for that as I just made them....

Just to be clear, I am not selling anything as of yet...I am still working out the kinks on it.

These are cool
I own coloring books so if you need me to scan images in of certain pony I may be able to see if they are in book
I have a sea pony book too
I want one or two made
I love that unicorn laying on her side looking back over herself too
I also want a boy
But will they be white outline only...

I am also thinking of attempting some silhouette ones...

Here are the solid pictured ones on my car, they turned out pretty good. Had to make a solid print area to attach to the cling, my printer is not a super one like at Kinkos and the cling is transparent, so had to print on a solid white area to see the print on the clear window...
