St. Patrick's Day Custom Swap - DONE! Leaving feedback

[ristvak]

St. Patrick's Day
Custom Swap

Since most are in agreement that there need to be more green ponies in the world... I think it's time for a St. Patrick's Day swap!
There won't be any "official" skill level brackets, but I will do my best to pair people according to their abilities.
Partners will be a secret (the person you're creating for may not necessarily be the person creating for you) so try not to spoil the surprise!
You will have about six weeks to complete your custom.

Requirements to Participate

Minimum three months of active membership.
Minimum post count of 50.
Minimum of 8 positive feedbacks on either of the community sites (MLPTP, Arena).
You cannot be involved in more than 2 other swaps at the same time.
Minors (under age 18.) may join with an adult sponsor. You will keep your sponsor informed of your progress, checking in with him/her just as you will with me. This person will receive overall swap feedback from me for being a sponsor.
A sponsor must meet the following requirements:
At least 21 years of age.
Minimum six months active membership.
Minimum of 15 positive feedbacks on any of the community sites with no negative feedback.

General Swap Requirements

Baits must be genuine Hasbro ponies. No fakies!
(If you're not sure whether or not you should bait a particular pony please ask about it here or in the customs forum. Better safe than sorry!)
Please join the Swap Social Group (invites will be sent as soon as it's created)
Make sure you check in and meet all deadlines.
I understand real life happens- PLEASE PM me as soon as you encounter a problem so that I am aware of your situation and so other arrangements can be made (if necessary)
All packages must have tracking and you will need to PM me the code when you ship.
Remember to leave feedback for your partner after you receive your custom..

Dates to Remember

December 26 - January 2: Swap Sign-ups. Feedback will be checked as applications are received.
January 4: Partners sent. Start working!
February 8: Photo update/progress check-in. You will receive your partner's address at this time.

I'm game! I'd love to be a part of it!

[tsukikakushi]

I'd be into either or. But I will hint that I'm rather partial to St. Pat's *wink*

[Daffy Dilly]

I think its a great idea and can't wait to see the outcome, but there's no way I can partake as my January will be full of exams. :(

[BittieBaby]

I'd be in for St Patty's! I haven't seen many customs for that holiday so it would be a nice change from the pink hearts Plus there aren't nearly enough green ponies around lol

[Starrby]

I vote for St. Pats!
(The way I 'celebrate' valentine's day is by buying discount candy the week after.)

<3

i'm game for either-or (or you could do it for both and have it be a late v-day you know) i love doing swaps ^^

O, I would SO love to do this! But I've never done a custom before. I am a very good artist and have been following along the customs forum and how other people do it.

IDK, maybe if there's someone else out there who it would be their first time for too, then it would be fair. But who knows, maybe I should wait til I do something like this?

I would be super excited to do a St. Patty's Day one though. My daughter was born on St. Patrick's Day. My kitten's name is Patrick, AND my persona is Lucky Starz (with a lucky clover of course )

Are there ever any custom swaps for beginners??

if the swap is a large scale one there are sually 2 tiers; one for beginners/novice and one for intermediate/expert "skill levels"

but hey the point of a swap is to have fun and to practice! but if you'd rather wait till you have further customizing skills your confident with then that's fine too. you can do customs for yourself or friends, even try out a personal swap with another member even; that's how i started out a year ago. it's still really great fun and a good way to practice-you never really stop learning after all ^^

That's cool. I'm pretty confident. Of course it probably wouldn't involve sculpting or anything but I'm sure I could do I cool job. I'll just wait to see if there are 2 tiers then. I think it would be a blast.
