Howdy there, friend!
We're here today to wish you a happy birthday!
I'm so excited to do this! Rarity told me how fun it can be!
Dash said how important it is for us to greet our friends in the other world! It's an honour!
Focus, girls, remember how we practiced it...
inhale
We wish you all the best on this occasion! May you have lots of happy times and good things come your way!
And we wish you'll be able to do your best for yourself too! And, and...
And stay in good health and high spirits all the time! And believe in yourself and who you are!
An' also we wish you great friendship and to have your nearest an' dearest with you to share in the good and deal with anything bad together!
So on behalf of all Equestria we wish you...
Happy Birthday!
We did it, girls.
Now let's all celebrate! Cue the music, Scoots!

A very good day to you, human. I come to you on your day of birth with greetings... and thanks.
My good subject Pinkie Pie told me she had taken to congratulating some humans on their birthdays, but even she has her limits. So she asked us for a bit of assistance... and for such friends of ponykind, we feel it right to provide it.
It is thanks to people like you that our land of Equestria, our very world, exists like it does. It is your friendship with us that gave us life. For that, we will forever be grateful and cherish you.
And so, allow me to wish you happiness, peace, prosperity and fulfillment! My hope goes with you that you suffer no hardship in the year ahead, but should a challenge befall you, I am certain your courage and skill will see you rise to conquer it!
Now... where is she...
Here, sister!
Fashionably late, I see! But just in time for the greetings to be given.
Right! I'm ready. Three, two, one...
Happy Birthday!
And now... let us commence the royal party.

Haaaaaaappy happy birthday to our good friend today!
Here's a little birthday song with something I must say!
On this day we celebrate having you with us!
Throw a party here for you I'll make sure is a blast!
I wish you only happiness, that your life's full of smiles!
That you and your friends will prevail in any troubling times!
Most of all, I wish for you that you'll have lots of fun!
And share it with all close to you, spread happiness around!
OR ELSE!
So let's get down to business now, there'll be no more delays!
On to the birthday party, celebrate this joyous daaaaay!

Yay! We're here, everypony!
Phew, that wasn't long. I told you we could easily make it on hoof!
Speak for yourself, Twi, you didn't have to carry this cake! It's heavy, you know!
Thank you for helping out, Dashie! I couldn't have settled for anything less, after all!
Hi... We're here to... wish you a happy birthday.
You said it! Happy birthday !
And what better way to say "happy birthday" than with a cake?
Why, with a real Apple family apple pie, of course!
With a muffin! Yay!
But these, while pleasant to give, mean little by themselves...
What makes them meaningful are our wishes for you!
Exactly! And we wish for you to have a perfect birthday and a great year ahead of you!
Don't fear any challenges you might face! No matter how bad it may seem, have faith in yourself and keep on being awesome!
And while at it, keep a level head and don't lose sight of what's important! Keep the magic of friendship alive in yourself!
Remember your loved ones and friends, an' don't let little things an' worries get you down!
We hope that you'll find all you seek and be the best you can be!
Don't forget to respect yourself! You're the best at being you, so stay true to what you really are!
And we hope that you'll be at peace with yourself, too... and that the year ahead will be peaceful for you.
And throughout all that, have fun! It isn't fun if you don't have any, after all, and fun it should be!
Just like today! Party on!

Weeee! Today's the day, everypony!
Pinkie, do we have to teleport in like that every time?
Of course, silly! Else it wouldn't be a proper birthday greeting!
Ahem...
Happy birthday !
And it wouldn't be a proper birthday if Ah didn't bring y'all an apple pie, baked by yours truly!
Let us all give you our best wishes on this occasion and wish you a wonderful year!
I hope that you will not run into any trouble this year and that everything will be as good as it can possibly be.
Don't forget that you're awesome! And that we're all your friends! Keep on rockin'!
Always keep the magic of friendship within you. May it bring you as much joy as it brings us!
And don't ever feel like you're useless or unworthy! Only you have what it takes to live your life, so don't let anyone or anything else get you down!
And of course, don't forget to have fun while at it! And speaking of fun...
It's time to party !

Over here, everypony! My Pinkie sense is telling me they're here!
Hi! Pinkie Pie invited us all to her friend's birthday party, and...
And that friend is you! Happy birthday !
Ah've brought an apple pie along for you, sugarcube!
And I, speaking for all of us, wish you all the best in your life and all your endeavours!
I hope that you'll have a wonderful time and that trouble will pass you by.
And no matter what happens, remember that we'll always be your friends. Stay awesome!
May the magic of friendship and all it contains be ever with you.
And if you ever feel down, don't forget that that you're the hero of your life's story, and no-one else can be better at it than you!
Now come on, you all, it's time to start the party for real!

your customs are awesome, particularly love the breakfast one the names are brilliant, how come ive never seen you featured on eqd?
š: 0 ā©: 1
Oh, I've never actually posted to EQD, even though I hang out there sometimes to read fanfic and stuff. Maybe I should post pics there?
š: 0 ā©: 1
if youre taking commission then absolutely! your stuff will get shown the qualitys great and the style pretty unique.. you use greenstuff?

As someone who also got into making Custom Ponies...I just gotta give u a BROHOOF at how awesome ur stuff is!
š: 0 ā©: 0
Just noticed you haven't been active....
Any idea on when you're going to open commission's again?

Pretty soon, I think-- had a bit of a stall in the pony-making business when I ran out of clay. But now I have a new kind of clay! A BETTER kind of clay, one that won't crumble during shipping!
I actually have a couple new ponies that I still need to post on dA, ones that I've made for my students. Part of the reason I haven't been too active lately is that I got a promotion at my job (yay!) that takes up a LOT of my time (not as much yay), but I've got some time off coming up, so I should have time to get a couple new ponies painted.
How have you been? Anything cool happening in the land down under?
š: 0 ā©: 1
Thats Good!
And naah nothing exciting,
Although i have been featured on equestria.com a few times
It's Good To See You Will Be Making More Ponies!
P.S I think you should submit your custom photo's to equestria daily,
They have a custom compilation every few days and it might get you more exposure

hey there
just wondering if you have an update on the customs?
š: 0 ā©: 0
I was just wondering; when you unroot the hair, do you use a tool, or just rip it out?
š: 0 ā©: 1
I start by cutting off most of it with scissors, then I work it really close to the skull with nail clippers. If I can manage to pop off the head without damaging the pony, sometimes I pull out the hair from the inside of the head.

Do you have any tips for newbie custom makers? Or at least a good light weight clay for sculpting manes and tails? Your customs are amazing, and I really want to try it.
š: 0 ā©: 1
I use Stonex, but I wouldn't advise using it as a pony-modding clay. It shrinks as it dries and tends to warp and crack around the rigid bodies of the ponies. Creative Paperclay is a good one to use: it air-dries and it's very lightweight. As for paints, you can't go wrong with cheap-o acrylic craft paints. Artist's acrylic paints are often way too thick, but brands like Apple Barrel are just what you need. Also, find a good acrylic "varnish" for your ponies to make them a little moisture-resistant and maybe shiny (if you like shiny ponies).

Hello! There's a possibility I'll be allowed to get a custom pony from you... If I could, how much would this lil' gal cost? c: [link]
š: 0 ā©: 1
She'd run you $25 plus shipping.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Okay, that's a fair price..
And how do you accept the money? Does the costumer send it to you, or do you have PayPal?
Sorry for all of the questions...
š: 0 ā©: 1
No worries! How are you supposed to know the answers if you don't ask the questions? It's my fault for not having more info on my front page.
I prefer to be paid through PayPal, but if you can't swing that, I'll accept a mailed check. And I never ask for payment before I've completed a custom. Ideally, the order of events is:
- You place your order
- I give you an estimate
- You confirm your order
- I make the pony
- I post the pictures on dA
- You either deem the pony acceptable, or indicate what kind of adjustments you'd like me to make
- Once you are satisfied with your pony, you pay me
- I ship the pony to you
- Everyone is happy!

Okay, thank you!
I'll let you know if I'd like a pony, but I'm definitely considering it!
Thanks again!

How much does your cute pony things cast? <3
š: 0 ā©: 1
Between $20 and $30, plus shipping. More complex ponies cost more money, simpler ones are cheaper. What did you have in mind?

Hiyo Yfish! Just wanted to say thanks for the and comment on D'ni Clock 2 ! I'd say you should check out the rest of my Myst-themed artwork but I suspect you've already seen them.

Oh, I definitely have seen your Myst-themed gallery. Loving the re-design on the clock.

Blimey, these are all amazing! Excellent work. I'm trying to get into customs myself but it's pretty tricky seeing as how scarce Ponies are in Britain at the moment, but I'd probably do them brush-able because I'm one of those weird people who actually enjoys ze brushie-brushie.
I may commission you once I get my hands on some monies too, keep it up!
š: 0 ā©: 1
Wow, British people actually say "blimey"? All this time I thought it was just an ignorant American stereotype.
If you can't find current-generation ponies over there across the pond, you might try buying previous generation ponies on Ebay. There are a lot of people who sell old ponies by the dozen for super cheap prices.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Haha, well I like to act-out the stereotype to be honest, I always tend to use old British slang just 'cause it's fun to.
I've never actually met another British person who says "blimey."
I'd rather be modifying G4s to be honest, mainly because it's the only generation I'm interested in. It doesn't cost me too much to get Ponies over to the UK as long as I buy more than one at a time because the guy at PonyOrders is quite good with prices, normally about $15 for two un-boxed and that would probably still end up cheaper than however much Hasbro decide to sell them for over here. It's just that takes a fair while (normally about two weeks from the day I order) and I don't have easy access to any of the newer stuff either. I want that Princess Luna, consarnit!

You certainly may, though I've got a bit of a backlog on pony commissions at the moment. If you want to send me a note with your specifications, that would be fine, but it would be a couple weeks before I could start on yours.

How much are your pony models? Can I order one custom made?
š: 0 ā©: 1
You can absolutely order a custom pony! I charge between $20 and $30 for each one, depending on the complexity of the design, plus shipping. I'll customize a pony any way you want, as long as it doesn't involve re-hairing a brushable mane. If a brushable mane is what you're looking for, I can put you in touch with other modders who specialize in those sorts of ponies, too. What would you want in a customized pony?
