Well since many of us are starting to get bit by the sailor moon bug again I was figuring, why not go with the inspiration and do a custom swap based on it?
I'd like to set the deadline for shipping by the end of September. This should give everyone ample time between work, school, and fall activities to be able to complete theirs. They must be put in the mail no later than September 30, 2008. As everyone receives theirs, we can all post pictures here in the thread and share.
Other Resources to get supplies:
-=www.RestoreDoll.com=- Specializing in Genuine Katsilk™ Saran® Doll Hair in over 75 colors. - katsilk doll hair
Sculpting Carving Artist Supplies - Apoxie ® Sculpt - Apoxie Sculpt
Sculpey - Projects and Products using Sculpey Polymer Clays! - Scuply can be gotten at Michaels, Walmart, etc. There are tips on here to help you out as well
Catalog - to buy wings such as bat, etc (Dark Galaxia. anyone?)
Wing Sculpting Tutorial by ~Eiriel on deviantART - wing sculpting tutorial
Wholesale Beads and Jewelry Making Supplies - Fire Mountain Gems and Beads - beads, gems, swvarski crystals
Also check out our tutorials section here. There are many guides to help you from rehairs to removing eye paint. Check it out. My Little Pony Trading Post Tutorials!
To give a challenge to things, let's try to make clothes from fabrics or scuplt them and lets do some rehairs. I've composed a list of hair color suggestions in case you get stumped. These are just some rough ideas to help you along.
As for the rest of the senshi, especially the inners, it depends on if you want to do the manga or anime versions. Like mars and jupiter for example. Mars you can do the black with purple mix or have it as red from the manga. Jupiter you can do with brown and have a bit of green mixed in or do it all green like the manga.
- Feedback - where can your feedback scores be found? Do you have at least 5-7+ here or a few 10+ somewhere else?
- Where can photos of your work(s) be seen?
- Have you ever participated in a swap of any kind before?
- Are you willing to ship internationally? If so, do you have a limit such as only to Canada or only to the UK, etc?
- Will you communicate with us to let us know if you are stuck on something, having a delay, or any other problem?
- Are you aware of the shipping deadline and will you let us know if something happens?
- Are you aware that once you sign up and partners are handed out you are committed to this? Please don't sign up and then bail. That's just wrong.
- When you ship out, will you be using a box or bubble mailer? A box with packing materials is strongly suggested.
- Are you famailiar of where to get supplies such as hair, sculply, apoxie scuplt, etc.? (hint: see 1st post ) Also are you famailiar with their shipping times if you do have to order supplies?
- Are you famailiar where to find sailor moon stuff such as images, etc. to use as a guide? (hint: check out our social group )
- Who's your favorite senshi?
- Who's your favorite villian(s)?
- Which would you like to receive - a villian, a senshi, or other character?
- Which would you like to create - a villian, a senshi, or other character?
- How many customs would you like to commit to for this swap? Now don't overload yourself.
The questionaire is done this way to protect everyone and to hopefully prevent problems that have happened in the past.

There will be a Round 2, but that will not get started until January. This way everyone has time to enjoy the holidays and perhaps participate in those swaps as well. Once the holidays have passed, then to beat those winter blues, we can get started on round 2. So keep your eyes open for a new thread to pop up. :945:

ALL SAILOR MOON CHARACTERS ARE WELCOME!
Even cats. Please put when you sign up if you want a villian or senshi. I know there are some that love the villians while many love the senshi. Also, please put what kind that you'd like to receive in return. If you've got a fave senshi or a few favs, list them. Give your swap partner a variety to work with. :artist:
ALL SAILOR MOON CHARACTERS ARE WELCOME!

To give a challenge to things, let's try to make clothes from fabrics or scuplt them and lets do some rehairs. I've composed a list of hair color suggestions in case you get stumped. These are just some rough ideas to help you along.
Hair color suggestions (from Doll Hair - DOLLYHAIR.COM):
Pluto - deadly poison
expresso - Jupiter - chocolate pudding
You can also take some green, like a dark green and mix it in to give a highlight effect or match the manga picture and do her all green
vampire venom - Mars - watermelon garnet
You can also take black and mix in some purple to get that purple shine like in the anime. The red hair is similar to her in the manga.
hemantite - Saturn - kiss of death
bobbin blue - Mercury - forgetmenot
mermaid - Neptune
Uranus & Sailor Moon & Venus -sooo many shades, it's hard to pick. I'd have to say sunlight for most of them.
Pluto - deadly poison
