I hope so too... They're selling chicken in Australia and in Mexico from what I hear... so it should be too much longer. I hope.

Yeah, it can be a bit difficult getting back into the sculpting after doing other stuff for a couple weeks...
I did do a recent sculpt that I haven't posted pictures of... it was part of a holiday pony swap. I'm dying to post the pics, but until I know that the recipient has actually gotten their pony, I can't post pictures!!! It's driving me a bit crazy!!!

Haha is that considered common etiquette for commissions/swaps, or was it a specific request?

Well, the ponies being swapped are all customs... when we signed up for this, we filled in a form with a whole bunch of questions, and then it's done as a round-robin as to who makes a pony for who. So I get the answers given by the person I was making the pony for-- to figure out what I wanted to make... but that person isn't the one who made my pony that I'm getting. Anyway, everything is supposed to be a surprise until they get their pony. It's the first swap that I've actually done... so I'm not sure what to expect.

haha cool sounds like fun. Do they have to approve the quality of your work before they let you sign up?? haha. Hope you get something badass, post it when you get it!

Sort of. This swap was a newbie swap... so no prior experience was really necessary. To participate in the "real" holiday swap, you needed to have something like 5 newbie swaps under your belt, or a portfolio of super awesome ponies... and because I'm a lazy bugger, I opted to just join the newbies.

Yeah, Sweetie's hair is a lot more fun to sculpt than Apple Bloom's is... (Sorry AB fans! The curly bits are just so much fun!)

To do Sweetie Belle's did you just take little points and swirl them around?

Do you find yourself carving them a bit with the exacto from time to time too?

For the moment I'm trying to focus on getting the basic shapes about right, and then getting it baked... once I have that done, I'm very much going to be doing the fine tuning with my trusty x-acto knife-- both by carving and helping fill-in/shape spots that need more material.

OtakuSquirrel In reply to AleximusPrime [2011-12-17 07:16:59 +0000 UTC]
and bake and carve and fill in low spots and bake again and repeat.....
I usually bake a sculpt about a dozen times-- refining and adding to my work each time. I think my lowest number of bakes for any of my sculpts was seven times.

Yeah, I didn't have ANY work last summer so I guess all my artwork makes up for it. Hopefully I can get an internship next summer for experience and some pay, but I hope I still have some time for art...

I haven't really decided about that yet. It makes sense because it would be a paint to mold her bow and mane together... So I guess I have to figure out how to attach them (not sure if the magnet will work in this case...)

Sweetie must be the rich filling, and Rarity the crisp-cut crust C: And their marshmallow-ness is the whipped cream on top *shot*

Mmmmmmm... Marshmallows...
I don't actually have marshmallows in the house... I do have some cream puffs... they're not quite the same, but I think it's time for dessert!!!
