I have a lot of questions regarding show accurate customs!
1.Do you already have any ponies that you've rehaired or painted to be more show accurate? If so, please show them off so more people can simp for your hard work!
2.If you were going to try to make more show accurate ponies, would you use a less brushable material for the sake of getting the sectioning and texture more show accurate, or would you simply focus on color accuracy and styling of higher quality materials in order to prioritize overall quality over accuracy? (For example, yarn wefts could possibly be easier to make look like the show, but wouldn't be the most durable material)
3. Does anyone else think making customs based around some of the silliest animation errors would be funny? (I remember one short scene in The end of flutter valley where Surprise was flying in place and her head and body moved, but her eyes didn't, creating plenty of interesting shots of her that would make for humorous customs, for example!) If anyone has already done this, please show off your glorious meme ponies! Memorializing the imperfections in such a way may seem rude to some stans looking back at the series with Rosedust tinted glasses, but I think these errors can actually be quite endearing! Appreciating a series despite or simply with its flaws rather than pretending it was without flaw is the way to go imo!
4.Is there even much interest/demand for show accurate customs? When first watching the show, I thought that I would have been disappointed in the differences in mane color as a kid and thus would think such customs to be potentially quite popular, but who's to say how much overlap there even is between the collectors and fans of the series, movie, and specials?
