DEM GLASSES

Cutie Mark Crusader Sets Too :) I have been thinking about making a few Vinyl Scratch tubular crinoline/cyberlox tails for conventions and raves etc. Does anypony think that would make cool merch? I know that Head Kandi sells sets for Rarity, Big Mac, and Applejack, but I have the perfect 2 sades of blue for Vinyl.

Oh wow, I wish things didn't cost money :(. I'd buy the Chrysalis and Cadence stuff so fast, aaaaah.

>>122407
I know the feeling, every time I see epic custom plushies or ponies :( Thank you for the nice comment though :) I am looking for a few specific pony items so there could be a possibility of a trade.

Cadence Bump

Just made some mini accessories for Rarity today :) http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/5488129

>>122459

The glasses appear to be made of fun foam with felt marker trim, while the measuring tape is just a ribbon with stripes hastily drawn on- the effect is actually quite nice, but you would probably benefit a lot from using better quality materials

These are super cute!

>>122409
Hilariously enough, I just now noticed that itty bitty Cadance's hoof decorations are painted while brushable Cadance's are not. Hasbro. Why?

>>122461
Yeah, I used fun foam instead of sculpy, because I was afraid that the weight of the scuply would make it too difficult to stay on the figure. I personally like outlining my foam pieces so it looks more like the style of the show (how everything is outlined in a slightly darker shade than the object itself is colored i.e. Rarity is white so she is outlined in grey). I have seen other pony inspired items made from foam that are not outlined and they just do not seem to pop out as much, still cute and cartoony though i.e. Yaya Han's pony wings: http://www.etsy.com/listing/83087751/my-little-pony-ears-pegasus-angel-wings verses my Scootaloo outlined wings: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/5478453 As for the ribbon, I did take the time to use a ribbon clasp and try to detail it the best that I could; I tried thin lines of fabric dye and different paint, but in the end ink seemed to look the best. What would you recommend to improve the ribbon? I do have ribbon that looks like measuring tape, but it would not be small enough so the scale would be pretty off
>>122464 Thanks :) I Know! Hasbro is killing me ;_; I don't know why it is so difficult to get colors right :/ I have been trying hard to resist painting the details on all my ponies because I am afraid that it may decrease the value later on, but I think I will have to start customizing them because it is driving me crazy!

>>122465
>>122465
I love that you outline the items, it definately makes them look much more show accurate!

Looking at those lovely Scootaloo wings I can see that foam accessories aren't necesarily a bad thing. I think the problem with the glasses is that with an item so small, tiny imperfections seems comparatively more noticable (like the inescapable rough edges from cutting the foam).

For the measuring tape ribbon, simply making sure the lines are perfectly spaced (just use a ruler as a guide) would make a big difference. If I'm right in thinking that that's a fashion-style sized model, you may be able to squeeze some more detail in. If you were to cut a thin ribbon from a non-absorbant material and use a very fine tipped marker, you could draw lines of differing lengths. (But if it's a regular brushable size, forget I said that!)

Little nitpicks, I know- but when it comes to very small products, quality becomes even more important. Gotta make it worth the buyer's while!

>>122507
It is the tiny brushable; if it was the fashion style I could use the other ribbon I have which would look much better and I could clean up the rough edges much easier on the foam glasses. I wish I had a fashion style Rarity ;_; I only have Luna and Celestia in the fashion style size and since the tiny brushables are more affordable and common, I thought people would be interested in show accurate accessories for them. As far as the lines on the measuring tape go, I was going off of this picture from the show (the one to the left) which does not have the correct lines, which does irk me, but I wanted to try and be accurate :/ (I did make the line black verses the ugly gold though). I am fooling around with making the butterfly wings for Rarity as well, so maybe I will make a super set or something that has as many accessories as I can figure out how to make decently i.e. the pony dress forms and maybe a couple of her hats and the heart gem necklace that Spike gave her etc. We will see what happens :)

I'm also going to start offering Rainbow Dash mane makeovers, because Hasbro let this happen: http://compare.ebay.com/like/380517519525?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar#

That's nice, but am I the only person in this fandom that won't pay out the nose for OMGSHOWACCURACY?

I feel like the plush toys Funrise made are just fine for $4.99-$11.99 toys.

>>122714
Yeah, I know probably most people aren't going to be interested or anything; I'm mainly just working on my barely existing plush skills and I thought it might be a chance for some people that can't afford the epic plushes on ebay to be able to upgrade their affordable ones so they actually look like that character (also would not charge much since I got the fleece and micro fleece on sale). I think that the Funrise toys are pretty nice minus the mane; I think the fabric is nice quality, I liked that they embroidered the cutie marks, and that they even went as far as to give each character different eye shapes :)

Rarity jewelry set bump because I just found out I'm getting a fashion style Rarity for Christmas! :D I can't wait to make accessories for her! Already bought some fabric :3 http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SGalindoDesign/4407641/Rarity_Cosplay_Earrings/Jewelry/Earrings/Crystal

Twilight Sparkle Set Bump! http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SGalindoDesign/4407662/Twilight_Sparkle_Cosplay_Earrings/Jewelry/Earrings/Crystal

Ok, just finished my first sea pony plush :3 Behold the powerfully cute Sea Dərp! I originally intended on making her and then keeping her for myself, but I ended up buying much more fabric than I actually needed, so now I am thinking of selling her on ebay and then making another one for me to keep. How much do you think people would be willing to pay for her? I have not seen very many G4 sea ponies, so I am not sure if there is really a demand for them or if I am the only one who has love for the sea pones :/ Thoughts? (I would ideally like to get $100+ because she took so long to make, I came up with the pattern, and everything was done by hand and not machine including the eyes).

>>123647
Uh oh, looks like I forgot the pictures; here we go:

>>123648

>>123649
Thoughts about my sea Dərp? Anypony? ._.

>>123675
Shoo-bee-doo, I like it. Did you embroider those eyes by hand? If that's what that is, tell me your secrets.

>>123681
Thanks :) Yep, the eyes are done by hand using a split stitch for the outlining and a satin stitch to fill the eyes. I used 3 different flosses for the color portion of the eye and mixed them a little bit to get a color shading/ombre look. The eyes were embroidered onto embroidery fabric first and then cut out and applied to the gray fabric using a matching floss. (Adding a close up pic) This was my first time embroidering free hand so I think it came out pretty well. If you are interested in making some yourself, I highly suggest purchasing the Emma Broidery's Embroidery Stitch Tool $10 at Walmart; the book is really easy to understand and has a lot of neat stitches and tips :)

Well, my SeaDerp didn't sell on ebay, so I listed her in my 'Other' section on my Artfire site; maybe somepony will find a good home for her :/ In other news, I got my fashion style Rarity finally, so I made a measuring tape necklace accessory for her! http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/5922394

Wow, can't believe my thread is still up o_o SeaDerp didn't get any bids on ebay, but I have her for sale on my Artfire site: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SGalindoDesign/5922383/my_little_pony_derpy_hooves_seapony_plush/handmade/toys/stuffed_animals/fantasy_cr
eatures I take Paypal and Amazon Payments and ship to the US and UK. My MLP themed jewelry and cosplay accessories are here on the site: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/SGalindoDesign/1/1/48486//

Finally finished my Chrysalis :3 Bitch gave me 5 stitches which was difficult to explain in the ER at 2 am, but in the end I think she was worth it. Also, she GLOWS IN THE DARK!

>>126502
Here is the GLOW! Sorry, I'm a little excited because she is my first real mod, and minus the stitches, I think she turned out ok and didn't crumble, crack, or explode etc.

>>126502

I tend to do most of my crafting and sewing late,late night too. Haven't ended up in the ER yet for it, but I've almost put a sewing machine needle through my thumb and I've accumulated plenty of boo-boo's at like 1-4 am, And it Is pretty hard to explain to people

But anyway, I think your Chrysalis mod is pretty awesome! Glow in the dark always make things better. xD

>>126503
where you get glow in the dark paint?

>>126504
Thanks :) So far I haven't experienced a sewing needle through the thumb yet, but statistically it is just a manner of time ._.

>>126508
I used various Apple Barrel glow in the dark acrylics mixed with some regular acrylic that I had plus a DecoArt glow in the dark medium and then some glow in the dark puff paint pens (got everything at craft stores and wlamart).

FYI to people who want to use spray paint on customs: I used 2 coats and then sealed everything with matte mod podge and there is NO stickiness! :D

Blind bag ponies were starting to crowd the collection so I turned them into mobiles; anypony else do this with theirs?

Fixed up the bubble bath figures so their eyes aren't dərped. Rarity is a little on the shiny side, but at least she isn't grey anymore. I was thinking about selling them and I also have a full set of the mcdonalds 2012 toys that are unopened that I was thinking of selling or trading as well; anypony have an idea of what prices I should put on both sets?

>>126961
those bubble bath ones look so much better with those eyes ^_^

>>126983 Thanks :) I underped Twilight's eyes on the toothbrush holder thing, but I think I am going to keep that one :3

Also wanted to let everyone know that I am willing to ship stuff out of state; I'm trying to thin the herd so to speak before some of the new merch that I want comes out in August. I also have an extra blind bag glitter Twilight Sparkle too if anypony is interested. Trading is also fine :)

I did it!!!! I just finished my first FLUFFLLE PUFF!!!!!!! Ever since I first saw this adorable little bastard, I knew I HAD to make it; and now I have! Yay! Pictures coming in a second :3

>>127040

>>127041
profile puff :3

>>127041
I...I...I want the Fluffle...Probably way to much but...how much would one be?

>>127044
I honestly have no idea what to sell her for >_<; It started out as just an idea and I happened to have an extra Twilight so it just sort of happened... I am only really used to selling/pricing my jewelry; this is my second custom figure, the first one was Chrysalis which I kept so I don't have much to go on :/ The prices that I have seen for the customs go from decent to crazy ass expensive; I don't want to be the type of seller that screws people over, but I do need to make something from my work if I can. Maybe if people who want a Fluffle could supply me with their own unicorn it could be cheaper? So far I only have this marshmallow material in white, pink (the one in the pic), light purple, and dark gray, because they are leftover swatches from a Sweetie Belle plush I am still working on and my SeaDerp seapony. I think I am going to pick up a pegasus pony from walmart and see if I can pull a Fluffy Dərpy together :3 I would like to make a Rarity Fluff and Sweetie Fluff too! Unfortunately, Pinkie Pie's shade of pink doesn't match my pink fabric -_-; so unless I can find more of this stuff in different colors, that may be all I can work with :/

>>127055
Trades are good for me too. I am looking for a couple brushables, a fashion style Fluttershy, the European wave 2 blind bags and the US wave 6 and 8 blind bags. For trades, maybe I could total the cost of my supplies and trade for the retail price of the trade ponies? I don't mind shipping outside the US, because Fluffle is fairly light weight so I can't see the price being too outrageous :/

>>127055
>>127057
I have a brushable or two I could trade! I don't have any wave 6 or 8 blind bags, though I have lots of 1 or 2 (I believe) If you want any of those.

>>127059
Which brushables do you have for trade? Here is the list of waves; I believe some of the blind bags from wave 2 may have made their way into other US sets, but I'm not 100% sure. http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/IndexBB.html I am also looking for some blind bag sized ponies from the first ToysRUs set and the Walmart set here: http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/G4mini.html#ponyville

Making a butterfly winged Rarity wind chime right now :3

>>127078
I have a Trixie
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--pLvqn8h-IQ/UEQSBsJkU4I/AAAAAAAA2OY/Z8ZQdR-aXMc/s1600/10.jpg
and an Applejack one
http://mlp.imagesofher.com/pictures/ajsingleloose.jpg

and the only blind bags are wave 1 if you need any of those.

>>127081
Hmm, I already have all of wave one Blind bags and both versions of the brushable Trixie plus Applejack, but I could turn your Trixie into a Fluffle. Do you have the Granny or Diamond Tiara mini's or anything else you would want to trade?

Last edited at Tue, Apr 2nd, 2013 21:49

>>127088
hmm...I don't really have a lot of stuff

I have the 2012 Twilight and RD McDonalds toys (no clips though :P)

I don't have a whole lot of pony toys.

>>127089
I have the whole set of the mcd toys too >_<; I'm starting to sound like a hoarder... or herder rather lol. I know you really want one, so how about you mail Trixie to me and I turn her into a Fluffle (will take 2 days), then when she is done I will upload her onto my website in the reserved section (which I will post a link here or email to you) and you can pay like $10 and then $3 for shipping. Would that work for you? On my website you can use Paypal or Amazon Payments, but if you want to just snail mail it to me that is fine.

In other news: I just finished Rarity with butterfly wings :3 Think I will try ebay and see what happens, because this is my first blind bag custom and I don't know what to charge >_<; She is surprisingly durable (yay for E6000) Found out the hard way because I dropped her, but everything remained intact... I have to learn not to play with my own merch XD

>>127108
That sounds good!

Could I possibly get the one in the picture? :3

I'm weird and I like having the one I've been staring at for the past few days.

If not I understand

but yes :3 that sounds good.

Email?

Also very awesome job on the Rarity wings!

>>127110
Thanks :) Rarity is feeling much more fabulous now that she has wings lol. Email is: [email protected] if you want to pay online I can upload the Fluffle in the picture to my site so you can pay and I can get her in the mail in the morning n_n

>>127111
you have made me a very happy person tonight! Thank you!

and yes! do that!

>>127112
Here you go: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/6467980

I'm happy that she is going to someone who will appreciate her n_n and I am looking forward to making another once Trixie arrives :) send me an email so I can send you my address.

>>127136
dem wings x_x did you hand sculpt them?!

>>127116


Would you consider shipping to Canada?

>>127137
I actually sawed the wings off of a butterfly wind chime, then sanded them down, painted and sealed them, and then mounted them into the notches I made into the figure :) I was thinking about casting the next set in resin to see if I could get them to be more clear rather than pink so the paint would show more true to color, but I have never cast anything before >_<; I'm going to have to figure that out.

>>127140
Yeah, I don't see why I couldn't ship to Canada :) It takes about $4 for me to ship small items from my jewelry business to Europe, so I can't see how it would cost much more to ship to Canada. I would probably have to take the item you would be interested and have it weighed at the post office first so I could give you the right price for shipping.

Getting ready to paint Snowdrop now :3 she is pretty cute so far. Not quite sure how I will be able to paint such a delicate cutie mark on such a tiny figure though >_<; Might make the figure pre cutie mark form and then paint the mark on the snow globe/glass terrarium thing I am putting her in :/

Thanks :) Dash is much easier compared to the other ponies :/ Just finished regular sized Fluttershy's tail and getting ready to start the mane, but I am leaving mini plush pinkie till the end because the regular Pinkie turned out pretty cute, but drove me crazy ;_; Rarity is going to take some thought... might pipe some wire or something through it :/

Just finished Funrise Fluttershy's mane and tail makeover :) Just got the mini one along with mini pinkie, twi, and 2 rarities.

Last day to win Snowdrop and the FULL set of 2012 sealed McD's toys! Butterfly Rarity may also be re listed because I have not received payment yet -_-

Snowdrop: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181116890039?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 She is super tiney and adorable :3

McD Set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181116945307?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 It is at around $5 with FREE shipping right now ;_; which means you are essentially getting this full set for less than it will cost me to ship it to you >_<;

>>127411


If you relist her, maybe make it so that Canadians could bid on her? I couldn't even bid last time.

>>127428
They paid, sorry ;_; Now that I have a better idea about what to charge for the blind bag customs so I can make more and sell them on my website/store where I can ship to more places and not get super screwed over or screw other people over with shipping. I will post here when I make new things and link it to the store so it is easier for everyone :) I have just been using ebay as kind of a test/pricing guide to go by.

In other merch news: I am selling my Wave 5 blind bag display box/case http://www.ebay.com/itm/181121191483?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I kept my opened set, but decided that it would be silly to keep a second sealed set to myself since it doesn't look like the 2 latest waves have alicorns; plus I have been doing a little more pony shopping on ebay thanks to their new Pinterest type layout thing they have >_<; Too bad I'm going to have to wait almost a month to get them :( Also kept my wave 1 display box because I use it to store my blind bag wrappers and cards so there wasn't a huge need to keep another box; starting to run out of room D:

>>127202
I am still without Trixie ;__;

Picked up some pony bait online and am getting ready to start some fun customs once I heal from surgery; there are Applejacks all over the place D: Also, I still have this yellow wave 5 blind bag display box/case if anypony has any of the Euro wave 2 or US wave 6 blind bags to trade :3

>>127059
Trixie arrived today :) Thanks.

Just finished making a Snowdrop ornament for the actual CREATOR of SNOWDROP!!!! She contacted me after she didn't get a chance to bid on the first one that I made and asked me to commission one :D I am still in shock. I think my confidence has been boosted enough to start making commissions along with other pony merch n_n I will be selling the firsts of all my items on ebay to figure out how to price things on my online shop, so don't worry too much if you miss out on the auction. Some items though (such as the snowdrop ornament) I will only be making one of; I will post that in the listing, if that is the case. Still trying to heal some from my surgery, but look forward to more merch in the future, including more butterfly winged Rarities :)

>>127714
Sorry I didn't reply earlier! I'm glad it got there! Make sure to post the new fluffle!

only one of those ornaments ;___; ok...

Just finished my Dərpicorn/Dərplestia :D I saw someone posted their brushable, so I thought I would share my sculpted hair one.

>>127881
Stop making me want everything you make

>>127881
I really like the sculpted muffins on her princess bling :D

>>127882
Glad someone appreciates my work lol.

>>127887
Thanks n_n I'm glad you can tell they are muffins! I thought I may have painted them too dark so they might look more like blobs instead of chocolate chip muffins.

Just finished painting Twilight's Crown and making a future Twilight :3 I hope next season has more epic looking pony styles like the future Twilight style.

Btw, she GLOWS IN THE DARK :3

>>127992
Oh that is the one in the pictures with the fluffle

I want it
but I don't have any money right now

I will also be making a couple custom Colgate key chains :) This one is just my prototype; the final version will also include a mini toothbrush :3

I have gotten a couple of questions about commission work, so I thought I would share how all of that works:

I do take commissions/requests n_n If you are looking for someone who rehairs ponies though, sadly I am not that person; I do molded hair and style existing hair only. I am just working on personal stuff and things to sell at the moment so commissions are open :) My online store where I post finished commissions for people to purchase is here: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/SGalindoDesign

How my commissions are done: You tell me what you want, I will sketch it out for you if it is something that needs sketching out, I make what you want, then I will take pictures of the product and send them to you to be looked over to make sure you are happy with everything or if there are any changes that need to be made (if it is a pony I will do this before I seal it), after everything has been looked over/approved then I will post it to the reserved section of my online shop where you can pay/checkout via Paypal or Amazon Payments. If the commission is going to be for a pony/character that is not in the show or is an oc then I would like to have the materials costs paid for before I start working on it just to make sure that if something happens, then at least that part is covered. If the character is part of the show ex. Chrysalis or somepony else that doesn't have a figure yet or a brushable that you would like to have sculpted hair for, then you don't have to pay anything until after it has been made because I know it is a character that will probably be sellable on ebay or at my shop if something happens. If money is tight I also accept full or partial trades.

How fast the commission is made depends on how quickly I can acquire the base pony ex. if you have a Twilight already, but would like her to be a future Twilight, you can ship her to me and as soon as I get it I can finish it in a day or two and once you approve of the pictures and pay I can have it shipped to you the next day. If you do not already have the pony that you would liked worked on there are a couple of options: 1.) I go get the base pony at the store myself and then work on it right away if it is something you would like done as fast as possible. 2.) If time is not an issue, I can try to find a good deal for the base pony on ebay (usually a seller in China) which ends up taking a freaking looooooong time due to shipping, but may be cheaper in the long run; ex. I can get a Pinklestia for around $8 on ebay from China verses going to Target and getting a set with her in it which might be more expensive (if I have a cupon or if Toys r us is having a sale then it might actually be cheaper it just depends).

How my pricing works: I accept payment through Paypal or Amazon Payments and as I mentioned before, I accept full or partial trade which means you have something I want or can use and it covers both material costs and my time for the commission then you ship the item or items to me after you have approved the pictures of your finished commission; once I receive the traded items (preferably with tracking #) then I ship you your commission with tracking #. If we are doing a partial trade, you can ship the traded item to me with tracking # while I work on your commission piece (unless you are also shipping a figure you would liked worked on with it) then once I have finished and the pictures have been approved I upload it to my site and you pay the leftover cost of the commission, and then I ship it to you with tracking #.

Also, if I do not think that I can create the piece that you want, I will tell you upfront; likewise if I run into a problem during the process, I will let you know so we can decide what to do from there.

If something catastrophic happens during shipment, and the piece is destroyed, please let me know and have pictures. Last but not least, what I make is considered for display only. Sorry that was a very long explanation, but I like to try and make buyers as comfortable with the transaction as possible.

Also the bidding for glow in the dark Chrysalis is still only up to $10 http://www.ebay.com/itm/181135968209?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Daww! WANT!

>>128030
>won't have money to get Chrysalis when it is over

>>128039
I do hope you haven't forgotten about Pinkie lol

>>127992
And great Chrysalis! Make a set with her AND Puffle Fluff and that would sell so well I bet! I'd want it x3

>>128039
I'm even negative money!

don't worry I didn't!

>>128051
Funny you mentioned that! Lol I actually had both Chrysalis and my Fluffle displayed next to each other when I first made them; then Stewartisme bought/partial traded a Trixie for my Fluffle and I have an extra Pinklestia base so I thought I would sell the Chrysalis I made and then make another one to keep :3 (Picture: http://twilight.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/136487071919.jpg) I am torn about the Trixie base though... I kinda want to turn her into a SUPER fluffy fluffle, because this happened: http://askflufflepuff.tumblr.com/page/3 (picture #6) and it is AMAZING!

News on Colgate key chains: My toothbrush charms were finally delivered! I'm painting the first one red, but I can make them any color you want :) Now I am just waiting for the rest of my toothpaste charms to come in :/

Queen Chrysalis has only 3 days LEFT! http://www.ebay.com/itm/181135968209?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Yay! First one done :D I am probably keeping this one and then will be making 3 more; the first will be sold on eBay and then the last 2 will be on my website.

>>128063
I'm going to need one of her too

Thinking about selling my Dərpicorn/Dərplestia, but still not sure :/ Working on a Daring Do :3 All I have left is the mane and tail so she will be up for sale sometime this week :)

>>128070
Well you may get your wish because the person who won Chrysalis still has not paid yet :/

>>128129
Yay!

but Nahhhhhhh!

I hope they pay!

>>128133
Yeah... I don't think they plan on paying -_-; I've waited 5 days and sent a message, but have not gotten a reply :/ I opened a 'case' thing on ebay, so if in 4 days I don't get paid I can re list it.

Question for the people who have made Daring Do: To Hat or Not To Hat... That is my question :/ I just finished ish my Daring figure that I will be listing on ebay soon, but I am not sure if I should leave her hat I made off to the side as an accessory, or permanently attach it to her (which will require chopping off the tips of her ears and taking a little off the top of the mane I sculpted). Which option have your customers requested more? Which do you think would look better?

>>128212
Here is what hat would sort of look like if attached permanently; technically you 'can' place it on her head, but it looks a little off to me :/

Questions for makers of merch:
1.) How much do you charge for your DjPon3, because holy crap; I just finished sculpting the mane on my first one and it has taken longer then any other mane/tail sculpt I have done so far o_o

2.) Have you made any random customs that were not related to the show? i.e. Disney princess ponies, random themed ponies, video game/anime character ponies etc. If so, did people like them and buy them? Do you get people asking for them?

3.) How about only slightly altered pony customs like future Twilight Sparkle? Since there is not as much work that goes into her, do you sell her cheaper? (picture related)

4.) How the buck do I get a name thinggie so I no longer am just Anon; and if I do get a name thinggie, will the rest of the post that I have made automatically have my name instead of Anon? >_<; I tried to figure it out a while ago when looking at the FAQ section/tab, but it didn't make since to me.

>>128288
Just type your name under name, it won't change existing posts though. You can get a tripcode too, but I dunno how to explain it, nor do I care to have one anymore.

I would help with the others, buuut I only do brushable hair customs, and it takes me pretty much like an hour to rehair a whole regular sized G4s head no matter how many colors I use.
I'd think anything that's popular would sell well, but I sure as hell don't know what is and isn't. Umm, good luck?

>>128289
Thanks for replying :) Yeah, I got lost when the FAQ section started talking about the tripcode thing o_O;

>>128379
How do you keep the paint off the eyes? And so cleanly too?

>>128386
Get ready to have your mind blown! Wait for it.... :drumroll:... TAPE! :D I was making a pattern off of DjPon3's eyes with tape and then realized if I use an exacto knife to cut around the tape, I can paint the base color of the body and then once it is dry, I just have to peel the tape off :3 If that is kinda confusing, I may try to attempt a tutorial thing for my next custom :)

The goggles can actually say on her eyes too :3 Paint job on the body is a little rough on this one, so I don't think I will sell her, but she is my first DjPon3 custom so I know what to do next time.

I will be setting up most of my pony customs and commissions on my ArtFire site, now that I kinda have a feel for how much they should go for.

$15 for Colgate key chains (with choice of toothbrush color :3 ) I have 3 for sale right now on my ArtFire page here: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/6863871

$25-$30 for Butterfly Rarity and similarly complicated blind bag size customs

$40 for sculpted hair customs (Cheaper if they are simplistic in design)

$50 for 'Princess' sized customs ex. Chrysalis Dərplestia/Princess Dərpy is now up here: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/6863939

Does this sound reasonable/comparable to what you have seen or priced your merch?

FYI, I will be adding the amount purchased in insurance to ensure customs are not destroyed in transit ex. someone pays $50 for Chrysalis I add $50 extra in insurance at NO cost to the buyer along with tracking # so everyone is covered.

At some point, I will be making a few customs for charities that I will be selling on eBay and not my Artfire site, so bidders can see exactly where the money will be going.

>$50 for 'Princess' sized customs ex. Chrysalis
>Chrysalis
darn

That is what they usually are but I can't afford that. Do you still do the trades for money off?

>>128526
Yep :) Trades and partial trades will be done through here. There are specific blind bags and brushables I am looking for that I will be willing to take as a full trade or quite a bit off of one of my customs, depending on which one you want. If you don't have the specific ponies I am looking for, I am always looking for a good deal on bait ponies so a partial trade would be possible (or full trade if you have a few that you want to trade for one custom or commission). There is also the option of you sending me a pony or bait pony that you want done into a custom, in which case I could take maybe a 1/3rd off of the regular price of the custom/commission. I don't want to screw anyone over and I want people to be able to get what they want at a decent price that works for everyone. :)

>>128648
Also selling my Cheetara ;_; She took FOREVER to paint! http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/6890827

For anyone interested, I am currently working on Luna, Nightmare Moon, Cadence, and Chrysalis at the moment. Luna and Nightmare Moons mane and tail are the only part really left on them and half of Chrysalis and half of Cadence are done. I still have 3 Colgate key chains available on my ArtFire site along with other small pony and pony themed accessories. I will also have the materials ready to go for 2 blind bag butterfly Rarities and hope to hear back from someone selling some baits for Future Twilight's and maybe one or two other customs. I am also in the process of re mane ing a couple small Funrise plushes that will be for sale. Everything I just mentioned is just stuff on my own to do list and not for specific commissions, so I can move them around if anyone is interested in a commission. I ship to the US and UK already, but if you are interested in something of mine and live somewhere else, let me know so I can have the item or something similar to the item weighed at the post office to give you an idea of shipping price. For custom figures, I think it may be around $8 -$10 for shipping to Canada, but I think that may be for only Ontario :/

very neat looking!

>>128738
Thanks :) Glad someone likes her.

Anyone want to sell me their Pinklestias now that the show correct ones are out?

A new comic store opened up near my house today and they had the latest issue of the MLP comic so I FINALLY can read them now! :D Apparently there is a Nightmare Rarity?! I really must make her O_O I am in the process of making a cadence/chrysalis custom which used up the last pinklestia I had so I need more!

Just wanted to mention that I am on MLP Arena finally :) and that I am working on some Steampunk ponies as well as the 2 butterfly winged blind bag Rarities. Made friends with a comic store owner last week and he mentioned putting some of my customs in his shop since he is getting so many requests for the MLP comics and merch, so I may be making some more comic related customs in the future. That being said, the only comic ish related custom I have at the moment is Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead (not technically in the comic but you get the idea :/ ) Picture related. Are there any comic book character customs that you would like to see that you don't see too many customs of?

>>128863
Steampunk pony custom complete! http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/6962504

>>128891
Holy crap that was a LOT of clay! O_o; Nightmare Rarity is finally done! If you have not been keeping up with the comics, she may not look familiar, but you should really check them out (including the comic mini series) especially since the trade volume is out (picking up my copy on Wednesday :3). Link for her to come soon, provided I can come up with a reasonable price for her :/ I really do not intend on making another, so once she is gone, that may be it. If you have not read my previous posts, I have made friends with a local comic book store that just recently opened near me, and the owner is interested in having my customs there to display/sell since the pony merch seems to go fast, so that may mean that some of the customs may be sold there rather than online; I will let you guys know if that happens or not when I get more info on Wednesday, just a heads up if stuff you are looking at suddenly is no longer there. I do take commissions though, so if you see something in the gallery part of my ArtFire page or on my twitter, you can send me a message about it :)

Custom overload! I just finished a crap ton of customs plus a base for a client that is going to surprise his wife with them today so I thought I would share :3 The dragon and turtle are the parents OC's and the butterfly and the unicorn are their kids/fillies and Captain America and Wonder Woman are their favorite characters, so yeah I have been busy. Now that this lot is done though, I am open for more commissions in case anypony is interested :) I just started getting into making Monster High customs too, and would really like to give the Equestria dolls a makeover soon.

i like the effect of the hair. kind give volume to the hair i think

Just finished my latest pony commission n_n Batgirl!

>>130507
Just picked up Shadowbolt RD and when I took her out of the package I noticed that her mane was stiff; has anyone been able to replicate this using modpodge or something else on the manes of their ponies? I have used hair gel in the past to try and preserve my boil perm style on my ponies, but sometimes their mane still likes to defy gravity...

I'm not sure exactly what they use as far as glue... I'm guessing it's some kind of factory spray-adhesive. But I do know that Mattel uses a similar mixtures to keep perms on certain Monster High dolls too. It can't be a permanent glue though, because a wash down with hot water and shampoo will take the firmness right out of it.

Yay my thread is still here :) Here is my latest mlp commission that has been completed:

>>131385
I didn't make this sticker card (obviously) but since it is merch related I thought I would share :) Apparently Topps sells these funny sticker card things, similar to the garbage pail kids, and I found an mlp inspired one! Her name is Wishbone and if you zoom in you can see all the funny comments on her package like 'friendship is tragic' etc. I freaking love it XD

>>131386
The lyra vector.

>>131385
The person who this was commissioned for also wanted a custom base, so here is the updated picture :) If anyone is interested in having custom bases made for their ponys, I make those as well; they have a peg that slides into the preexisting hole in the hoof and can be removable or permanent :)

>>131390
Ok, here is a picture that is not sideways >_<; sorry

>>131391
She looks wonderful! Nice job :D

Just finished My Little Michonne custom :3 http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/9044786

Question for pony merch sellers/makers and pony customizers: Where do you sell your merch? I have been selling my custom ponies on Artfire, since I already sell other items I make there; I have been thinking about switching just my pony customs to my Etsy shop instead though to see if I might get more traffic? I have more luck overall and it is cheaper to sell on Artfire, but since I just sold my last item in my Etsy shop (instead of re uploading the items that expired) I thought I might try out the pony customs there? Thoughts or suggestions? I also sell my customs at a local comic shop, but I don't think that they are in a good location to be seen (bottom shelf :/) I don't want to say something, but it isn't my store and I don't want to come off as a bitch >_<;
