Description Finally, after so much work she is done: Nightmare Moon with brushable mane using a Celestia body base!

She was such a huge challenge, mainly because she wears such fancy armor, and she also sports some pretty awesome, evilish, bat-like wings <3. For this challenge I decided to try out what so many people love to use in their customs: Apoxie Sculpt. It reminded me so much of my days in college when I took ceramics class... I enjoyed it so much!!! Apoxie is a definite keeper and a substitute for Sculpey when sculping over a pony is needed. Apoxie was used for the wings, the armor and to make the horn pointy.

Her mane and tail are DH Forget-Me-Not with very few strands of Moonlight to give it the shimmery/starry effect NM's hair has . It may not show up in the pictures but in person, if you put her against a lamp, her silver strands give a really beautiful glow <3.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been on the lookout of my customs I will try my best to bring up the next new ponies in my list soon! (which are mainly ponysonas hehe ^^). Take care everyone and hope you like this bad girl .

its better that official really! Love that her armor is not painted! I only don't like horn but I guess it would be hard to mod.

Did you have any trouble cutting out the neck? In a normal pony toy, cutting it out isn't easy, but I can do it...with Celestia toys, it seems impossible!! @_@; Do you have any advice?

Well for my past Celestia customs I didn't have the need to cut the necks, but lately I've done so for experimenting with rehair techniques, and what I do is just behead her by carefully slicing the line that defines the head piece from the body piece with an exacto knife. With a new blade you should be able to slice and separate the head like butter . Other than that, I'm not sure what else you're working on, but I really recommend an exacto knife!

Absolutely lovely!!

Quick question: are her legs hollow? I'm seriously considering tackling Queen Chrysalis and I'm trying to put a game plan together.
Also, what's the advantage of Apoxie over Sculpey? I've been hearing good things about it. (:

DeeKary In reply to Colour-Splashes [2012-04-24 20:41:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot!

Her legs and the whole body is actually solid plastic, so you can easily dig or drill the holes for the Queen . As for Apoxie and Sculpey, they are both really good but the advantage of Apoxie is that it air dries and doesn't have shrinkage, so it's super convenient if you don't want to risk melting the pony xD. Only negative I have to say is that it takes 24 hours to cure completely, so you can't really refine by sanding or add more to your sculpted area until the next day. Other than that is a great material!

You are so very welcome!

Thank you! I shall have to remember that! Hopefully it'll be smoother than whatever I currently using(I don't even remember the brand name XD)

DeeKary In reply to Nevi-Lamina [2011-12-09 02:41:09 +0000 UTC]

The secret to smooth body repaint is to water down the paint a lot, and work on several translucent layers rather than one thick layer of paint that way you avoid painbrush stroke marks .
