I should preface this by saying that I have never watched the show, but I am well aware of how popular it is.

I just got done making this a few minutes ago: http://bradscc.devia...celet-282642956

I'm considering making more for other characters, but some of them will cause difficulties in colors in the right shades. For example, I only have one shade of pink available right now, so Pinkie Pie is out at the moment. I can get altered shades by getting different metals, but before I go to that expense and effort, I'm interested to know which characters are most popular.

Sooooo, this is where you guys come in. As I said, I've never watched the show myself, so my poll options are simply provided by the main characters listed on the MLP wiki (and Derpy Hooves, as she's the only other one I'm aware of).

I may post further in this thread later when/if I make more pieces.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Derpy Hooves are the most popular, I think. I'd rate Pinkie Pie in at a close #4 with the rest following behind.

That said, I LOVE that bracelet! It's adorable. How much are you planning on selling them for and what's your studio name?

This. Fluttershy and Dash are fan favorites. And Derpy may even surpass them on some level, She only has had one scene with lines but she has a really really REALLY strong fan following.

Thank you very much.

That weave in a bracelet is $18.50, tax included. It's a denser weave that uses more rings, which is why it's more than what most of my bracelets cost.

My studio is Brad's Chainmail Creations.

Would there be a way you could make a version using less chain? While I would gladly pay $20 for a bracelet like that, I'm a 20 year old girl with a job. There is a somewhat older audience at ACEN that would be willing to pay more for high quality goods, but I think you could make a killing off of those if you perhaps made a less dense, less costly version for the younger fans of MLP who maybe don't want to spend $20 on a bracelet.

All of that being said, definitely put me down for a Rainbow Dash one! I have a table at the alley too (our name is Grimby and the Bomba's Loot), so I'll be sure to go over and check out your creations. [:

I'll be sure to stop by your table! I'd love to pick up a Rainbow Dash bracelet.

I'll have a table this year too; my studio name is Happy Hatpire Designs.

There's plenty of other weaves I can do that would be less costly. Easiest would be a simple European 4-in-1 (like this: http://bradscc.devia...set=24#/d33elw8) or a Full Persian (like this: http://bradscc.devia...fset=0#/d4bo1ao). Those would probably run under $14 including tax (I'm estimating in my head, I can figure more exact later).

Wow! I really love the 4-in-1. If you did a Rainbow Dash version of that one, I would definitely buy one. In fact, if you take commissions, I would be willing to pay for it now and pick it up at ACen, if you would be willing to do that. xD

I have to say all of your work on deviant art is really cool! I admire anyone that has a talent for hands-on work, and you do it beautifully!

I absolutely take commissions. Just shoot me an email at bradschainmailcreations@gmail.com, and we can hammer out the details. I'm currently working on one more in Fluttershy colors, and then I can kick it out and send you a picture. European 4-in-1 is super easy, it'd only take me about an hour at most for a bracelet.

There, Fluttershy is done: http://bradscc.devia...celet-282756219

I agree with the above mentioned; Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Derpy are the most popular. I also feel like DJ PON3 is really popular.

No one likes Twilight except for me T_T

You're not alone! I love Twilight!

I think it would be best to just make all of the ponies in the poll because you'll find die-hard fans of all of them. Just make more of the popular ones.

As I said before, the hard part is making sure I have different shades of the same colors in order to make all of them. I can do it, but I'll have to get different metal wires and cut my own rings. And that will up the price on those pieces, because it's actually more expensive to make rings on my own once my time has been factored in.

I guess I missed where you said that before. Apologies! I totally understand about hand-making pieces and having the right materials. Either way these bracelets are awesome and whatever you're able to make will sell like hot-cakes (or maybe cupcakes?).
