Finished 

Aug 2 - She's so close to being done! I just need to fix the seams on her hair and do touch up painting there, stick on her tail and she'll be done! Not all of her hair falls completely flush with the surface that she sits on. There was some problems when I was sculpting her because she was made to be in 7 pieces so I could easily airbrush her hair. But if she's sitting on cloth it shouldn't be noticeable. I'm really happy with the airbrushing on her hair The teal ends even have some sparkle in it, because I was trying to emulate the sparkle at the ends in the reference pictures. I think she's coming out well I'm excited to see her when I'm totally finished

July 28 - So sorry I've been slow with all sculpting this past week! I've been having a difficult time focusing lately. I'm trying to push through that though and get back to sculpting. I think I'm going to finish Lucid Dreams and Fluttershy all up so they are off my workspace and then work on the next ponies so it will feel like there's less for me to do. 

Anyway, I'm having a difficult time sculpting Lucid's hair. There's still stuff I need to do to it and at some point the locks on her right side got a little messed up because they are removable so I need to fix it so it fits on her head properly. I'm hoping I'll be able to finish the hair up tomorrow. The epoxy clay really slows things down >.<

July 17 - Just need to sand up her tail,  put on the flowers and make her hair and all the sculpting will be done

July 13- I trimmed up the legs and fixed the hind legs and sculpted the face. I'm much happier with how she looks now Next is to put the wings and the little fur tufts at her ankles on

I'm not sure I like those hind legs. I may remake them to bend more at the ankle.

I tried making a cloud like in the drawing but I failed miserably. I thought I'd just make the figure so she could maybe be put on a pillow or any other similar object.

You can see a drawing of Lucid Dreams here    However, the pose I'm making for the sculpture is slightly different. She will be resting her head on her forelegs.

I use mostly super sculpey you can see my FAQ here  FAQSo I thought I would finally put up an FAQ since I get asked how I make my sculptures pretty often. If there's anything else that you would like to know just put a comment here and I'll update this journal with the answer.
Q: What materials do you use on your figures?
A: I make them by first making an armature out of aluminum wire(sort of like a wire skeleton) and put Aves Apoxie sculpt around it and let it dry. Then I do most of the sculpting with a mixture of Super Sculpey and Super Sculpey Firm. Super Sculpey is too soft and Super Sculpey Firm is too hard so I mix them together to get the stiffness to the clay that I like. I will also add some Aves Apoxie sculpt to areas of a figure that I feel are too weak so that it will be strengthened and I use it for certain other areas where strength is needed also.
Q: How do you get the figures so smooth?
A: Well I try to sculpt them as smooth as I can but honestly most of the smoothness comes from lo

REALLY nice curves and curls to the hair there.  Even if it's giving you a difficult time, it's coming out really nice!  good luck!

thanks! its mostly this epoxy clay that's giving me a hard time >.< it likes to sag a lot so I have to keep it propped up while it dries for thin pieces like that >.<
