Gauging Interest - Custom Swap to be co-hosted by dashesndots & MikeysGrrrl

[dashesndots]

 

*All this pending admin approval of course*

MikeysGrrrl and I want to co-host a custom swap.  We've looked over ideas that have been mentioned before here in interest threads on the Arena and came up with some that we would be interested in hosting.

*Monochromatic - custom must be made using only shades of only one color.  Potential to come up with something very cool and visually striking!  Your partner would specify what color they want you to use (or possibly let you choose between 2 colors).

*Celestial - using the heavens for inspiration, anything goes!  Go scientific, or go more geared towards science fiction or astrology!

*Carousel - creepy or cute, fanciful or inspired by real carousels...again, pretty much anything goes!

*Other - have a theme idea you want to share? We're open to ideas if you really aren't keen on the other three!

Disclaimer:  If you "own" a certain swap theme that we're considering, ie you've held one with a particular theme before and want to host another one, please just let us know and we won't pursue that theme.  I know there was a Carousel one fairly recently...the other two I'm not sure.

Tentative Schedule:
Gauging interest - now until Christmas-ish.
Submit for approval
Sign ups Jan 1st - Jan 15th or until slots are filled (will probably cap at 12 or 20 depending on how much interest there is).
Partners shortly after Jan 15th
Ship by April 5th or so

So let us know what you'd be interested in participating in!

All of those themes sound great! The potential for some awesome customs is definitely there for each category. Sounds interesting.

Id love to do another monochrome swap they are sooo creative love em!!

[Salli]

I voted Monochromatic because my last 2 swap ponies have involved a lot of sculpting and have just misbehaved from start to finish. I would love a simpler swap and I always ADORE other people's monochrome ponies they've made.

[kaoskat]

The last monochrome swap was fun. I hosted it. If you want I could dig up the old thread for you so you could get ideas.

[Roogna]

I voted monochrome. it sounds like both a good challenge and not overly complicated or super sculpt heavy

Thanks for posting the interest thread dashes. I'm excited to co-host with you and I'm antsy to partake in another custom swap

Thanks for providing that link kaoskat There are so many beautiful ponies that were created for that swap.

[WaePonies]

monochrome sounds so cool How do you pick what to paint though?
Do you give a list of colour and then a list of thing?
Or is it just random?

Xoxo

Thanks for posting the previous Monochromatic Swap thread, Kaoskat!  Gorgeous ponies!

Thanks Mikeysgrrrl! Can't wait!

Waeponies, if Kaoskat doesn't mind we'll borrow that aspect of the previous Monochromatic swap, in which case the participants gave their partners some ideas of what they'd like to see in addition to specifying 3 colors to pick from.

I see "Carousel" is getting some love too

Fine with me. Use what you need.

[Jennifer2004]

All these ideas sound great! I will definitely keep an eye out for this swap!
