Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


First off, let me say that ANYONE who can use a modeling clay this well deserves some type of ALL MY MONEY lol

Seriously, the detail in this sculpture is absolutely beautiful! The fact that you were able to capture such a detailed expression in a sculpture REALLY lets your modeling ability shine! The eyes really get me, along with her mouth. Her hair is gorgeous, too.

I love the little Rarity doll she's holding. It just captures that innocent plushie look all to well.

I am dumbfounded, jealous, and e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="37" height="25" alt="" title=""/> about this picture. You have some real talent! Keep up the great work and keep these masterpieces coming! The fandom needs more people like you!

Aw~ shucks. You're making me blush. Thank you so much for the cavalcade of compliments and I very much appreciate you taking the time to peruse my photograph.

I'm sorry for the very late reply to this critique as I didn't even know there was a 'reply' function until very recently

I'd hardly call anything I make a masterpiece but I'm very humbled when you say I have talent. All I do is make fun things out of clay and then take pretty pictures. Its been such a blast doing it only supplemented by an amazing fandom thanks to people like you.

Thank you very much and I hope you continue to enjoy my work~

OMG WhiteDiamonds was right, this sculpture is adorable. The most adorable thing I have ever seen. I can't even begin to say just how adorable this is, other than the fact that I can't remember the last time that I used the word adorable. Now I just can't say it enough. I am completely awe struck. She is soooooo adorable.

Ya that's what I called a lot of other things that I have seen, cute, but I can't remember the last time I used the word adorable. I guess I just haven't found anything that is fitting for the word, until now.

My dear! Finally, at long last I'm able to comment properly on this amazing little piece on your dA gallery, and while I've obviously gushed at length about the subject on my blog already I really must thank you again for such an extraordinary gift. Even now, after all of this time I am honestly blown away by your amazing kindness and generosity, and can hardly believe that you would do something so sweet and wonderful for me...

As Applejack obviously now resides with me, I can assure all of your viewers that she is just as gorgeous, if indeed not moreso in person than she is in these photos, and really is a terrific example of fine craftsmanship. Every surface of her tiny little self (as well as her hat and Rarity, of course) are so silky-smooth and clean, and I absolutely adore the way you sculpted her mane as well as (though I'm sure this goes without saying) that adorable, cuddle-prompting expression she is wearing. She is the cutest addition to my household that I ever could have asked for, and I can assure you I adore her with every fibre of my being.

So yes, once again thank you so much for making her for me; you are an immensely talented individual, and an immensely sweet and thoughtful friend as well!

Poor Applejack looks like she had a bad day, but though still upset it's wonderful to see her comforted by her little Rarity plushie. You did a great job on Applejack, but more so you made the Rarity doll actually look like a doll, especially with the way her left hind leg is folded and her mane hangs.

What a great way to complete the circle (well, even though this one was posted first ).

Blargh! Sorry, the mobile site for dA sucks. I thought I had replied to this but I guess it didn't take.

Making those dolls is really quite fun since I can be generous with the proportions while still maintaining the feel of the character.
Thanks


PS- I'm glad you noticed the differing angles~ I always try to capture as many angles as possible. Gives it a sense of real 3 dimensions, as opposed to the show where you really only get 2.

I love this! Especially hw you took the time to add the lines in her hair instead of just making big patches of yellow, Great Job!

dustysculptures In reply to SkellerArt [2012-03-07 01:10:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I feel the same way, the lines are pretty integral to her hair~ itd probably look plain without them.

Thanks~ She seemed to like it. I very much enjoyed her drawing of Trixie ^^ I think I might make a sculpt outta that~ She's so awesome like that.

dustysculptures In reply to daniel-h-n [2012-03-06 03:41:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes I like her, I admit (mostly a product of reading too much fanfiction). But I'm definitely a Fluttershy fan by far

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 1

daniel-h-n In reply to dustysculptures [2012-03-06 05:10:56 +0000 UTC]

Fluttershy is best pony, no doubt about that

I haven't read many fanfics (2 or 3 to be honest), my impression of Trixie is pretty much what we saw at Boast Busters

Its funny how favorites can get mixed up when taking 'fanon' into account. Me and my friend always discuss how characters are so much better in fanon than otherwise (eg Scootaloo) and vise versa. Thats why we keep two lists; one canon, one fanon.

Lots of pony art is fanfic inspired, apparently this community makes pretty good fanfics
If I had the time I'd check some out, but just can't

As for you're question I'm going to quote on this one, "I buy some clay and smack it with a stick until it looks like a pony."
That's pretty much it~
