If you have another Fairy Tale suggestion, post it here so i can add it to the list, and also please include it in your application.
This isn’t meant to be a simple paint job. You have plenty of time to work on your ponies, so take your time and think outside the box. Research your partner and the character you’re going to make and don't feel limited by Disney interpretations of these characters. Try your hand at things you may not do- sculpting, sewing, etc. Be brave and have FUN with it.
Some ponies in this swap will also include gore and bloodiness, it's not required but be sure to include it in your form if you only want a gothic / "monster high" type or zombie / gore.
A few customs from last years Twisted Fairytale swap.
