I’m up to my eyeballs in Fallout ponies, but what other Fan OCs would you like to see made into custom figures? I don’t read a lot of fan fics, so I’m not sure what people would like to see. Other than FoE characters, I’ve made Nyx brushables as well, and those sell quickly. Who else would you like to see? (post reference pics if possible)

Cute. Too bad it’s hard to come across white pegasus bases, though I do have one on hand. I mean I can always paint the body, but it’s really nice when I can get something that’s the right color already.

@PrincessGryph
So how is making custom toys? It seems like it’d be quite hard…
 
It takes a while to get the hang of it, sure. But honestly, the harder something is to do, the more fun it is. It gets pretty boring after a while if I’m making easy stuff all the time.

Yeah, I took up drawing, and around this time last year I was crap lol. I seem to be doing relatively better now, although I’m no major artist, I like to think I can at least somewhat compete.
 
I usually only stick to drawing my OC Ocean Bird, but I draw my friend’s OCs every now and then.

Silverlay, and Dispersion: I had never heard of these two names before so I had done some searching on derpibooru. It appeared that both of them are just some generic OCs, not surprised that both of them are not very well known.

Now, about Dispersion, you can look for the tag. she is even more obscure than plane ponies or even Silverlay, and only appears in one artist’s comic.

The simpler ones, I could absolutely do those. Would be a project though. That first pic tho, I’d have to break out some 40k bits, lol. Are these really popular? They are pretty cool looking.
 
@Mildgyth  
Silverlay is a really simple repaint, could make a cheap blindbag of her easily. She and Dispersion would both make cute brushables I think.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, popularity is not the only factors that determine your custom pony sale and market value.
 
Your craftsmanship in fabricating custom that display the aesthetic essence of the character is the deciding factors whether the buyers are willing to pay big buck to purchase your crafts.
 
Here are some crafts that had attained such quality. This is just a personal verdict

The simpler plane ponies, like the one with red cheek patches (that’s Blitz the A-10, who’s probably the most popular one), are the ones I was thinking of. The vast majority of plane pony art is like them. Other ones who seem popular at the moment are Skybreaker the MiG-25:

; and of course the Predator Drones. (The “scared” one is a Drone, but usually they’re drawn more like Blitz.) Their lack of facial features is their chief distinguishing characteristic, however they are shy and do often blush.

Mortem the allicorn princess

I wanna see mine as a toy, but i suppose that’s selfish. I wanna see mad munchkin! she’s cool. Mortem’s back story: She was an imperfect version of her perfect sister. She was given the under world to protect so she could keep harmony between the worlds. She grew to love to spirits so much that one day she let them out. She was banished there forever by luna and twilight, and the souls with her. Forever she would walk under the earth, never to see the sun again. Until a little filly named willow seed, who was mourning over her mother at the time, stumbles upon the opening to the underworld. When she lets the princess out, she brings her mother back to life… but what will this cost? And is she really a villain?
Mortem the allicorn princess

btw… that post was just to show my oc’s back round and… how do ya’ll like it? what could i use to improve it? And yes i know its a little over powered… but what allicorn isn’t? i mean am i not aloud to make an allicorn?? its not illegal, so yeah… don’t hate please.

The financial viability of making one character or another isn’t solely determined by craftsmanship. Trust me; I’ve sold tons of custom Lunas faster and for more money than even I thought reasonable, while I’ve had Celestias that I made at the same time and were equal in quality collect dust in storage even as I dropped prices. Craftsmanship is only a fraction of the equation. As much as I’d just like to make whatever suits my whim at a given moment, that won’t keep the bills paid or feed my kid. I take a lot of commissions as it is, so when I do get a little free time to work on something crazy, it needs to be marketable.
 
Besides that, comparing my stuff to artisan crafts like earthenpony is a little apples to oranges. Since I do customized toys, rather than fully hand-crafted ponies like a lot of the ones you posted, I’m a little more limited in terms of the viability of really dynamic poses or certain characters (though I can still pull off some very impressive customs).
 
Plane ponies are appealing because they’d be challenging, look amazing, and I’m in a unique position to make them since I’m now working with a 3D printer and could conceivably make printed wings and tails for them. But that’s an investment of time and money that’s hard to make when it’s just a side project and not a paid commission. The other characters mentioned like Dispersion and Silverlay would be an easier investment, cheaper to make and cheaper to sell, but they wouldn’t be as much fun.

@Corrderio
 
No, it’s not selfish to want to see your OC as a toy (It’s only selfish if you think artists should do it for free :P) I really do like making one-off customs of people’s OCs much more than making a bunch of really popular OCs, because it means so much to their creators when I do. But that’s usually just by commission.

@Mortem the allicorn princess  
Oh, you’re certainly allowed to make alicorns. But yes, the backstory seems a little far-fetched. For one, the thing about perfect-imperfect sisters is something I think should be changed. Maybe Mortem thinks her sister is the ‘favourite’ and resents her, when it really isn’t true.
 
Perhaps as an alternate universe? I imagine that keeping it as it’s own universe would make more sense and upset a lot less people. It seems sort of like a story premise, I think it could be pulled off if you execute it right.
 
We could talk about it more over PM, if you’d like.

Don’t you wish your OC was hot like her? ^_^
 
Er, anyways, she was created by a fellow named Fiddlesticks over on Fimfiction as a free-use OC. Since then, she’s gained quite a bit of popularity as a major supporting character in a really awesome crossover fic called The Bridge.
