Description I'm just goofing around a bit here. I know for certain that there is interest in if Pinkie's mane will be able to fit on a pegasus-- for certain reasons... The answer is that I'm planning on modifying one of the first casts so that I'll have a compatible mane for those who want to add a certain Surprise to their collection (go find your Blossomforth's now!!!)

Party of One is my favorite episode... When I finally get around to painting her eyes, they're going to be either upset or crazy... I'd do "sad", but I can't exactly change the smile molded onto her plastic face without getting into some serious cosmetic surgery.

Maybe sad/demented eyes with tears?

LOL! ...and hopefully I'll be finishing the other two of those kits this December and they'll be available when I reopen orders next year.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of clay do you use to sculpt? I usually just use regular Sculpey (usually just play around with it, or make little scale models of stuff), but it's not quite as firm as I would like. Whatever you use looks like it holds it's form really well.

OtakuSquirrel In reply to YazzoB [2011-10-13 17:56:52 +0000 UTC]

It's just regular sculpey, same as you're using.

The only real difference that I'm finding between what I do and what others are doing is that I'm baking multiple times-- I make a solid base to work on and add more material later, usually only focusing on one small area at a time. I also use an x-acto knife and sand paper on it to carve/smooth it out.

YazzoB In reply to OtakuSquirrel [2011-10-13 21:26:06 +0000 UTC]

I see.

I usually use a 'skeleton' made out of wire, aluminum foil, and other materials sometimes (still experimenting), so as to not use so much clay - what you make is thin enough that you probably don't use a whole ton of clay anyways, and don't need any kind of 'filler'.

Thanks for the reply...will have to try that multiple-bake method out for sure!

OtakuSquirrel In reply to YazzoB [2011-10-13 23:37:32 +0000 UTC]

When I started this project, I was trying to make "skeletons" for the tails, but eventually gave up on using other materials and transitioned to making a thin "rough" shape out of clay to bake and build upon...

Yeah, I can't exactly say I've gone through too much clay making these... only about half of small box of sculpey. Although, I'm fairly certain that half of it ends up as shavings or powder on my floor... or being stolen by my cat to play with...

SQUEE!!!! You Rock!! I was just thinking to myself, I wonder if those Pinkie Pie casts will fit for Surprise? And you MUST have been reading my mind!

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Xaeldz [2011-10-13 06:10:11 +0000 UTC]

LOL! And Blossomforth is the perfect pegasus to fill the role. Now we just have to wait for Skywishes to be released (for Firefly) and hope hope hope that we get a Yellow Earth-pony for Posey!

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Burossamu [2011-10-13 00:00:58 +0000 UTC]

Suprise! Yup. I've had a decent amount of interest in her, so I'm figuring that I'll use an early Pinkie Pie cast to modify for use with a pegasus (those silly wings are always getting in the way!) and then re-mold the modified mane so I have something to sell.

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Vegeta-always-Wins [2011-10-13 00:03:49 +0000 UTC]

I did. You managed to make her look quite deranged. Poor Pinkie, we all love her even though she's totally crazy...

Vegeta-always-Wins In reply to OtakuSquirrel [2011-10-13 01:49:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! she was my first custom ever. I had a lot of fun~~~

Tho I will never have the mad skills you have (especially with rarity's hair...im not even going to try that!!)

but boy it was fun!

I cant wait to see your finished set of ponies, I bet they will all look amazing!

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Vegeta-always-Wins [2011-10-13 03:05:34 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, doing this is pretty addictive and fun!

Rarity wasn't nearly as difficult I thought she would be... the fact that her look is so specific meant I didn't have to conceptualize anything (which I find to be the hardest part) and all I had to do was come up with something that looked right (and try to not break it while working on it!)

Need to make sure you do a Pinkamina that will fit a Pegasus as well. PLEASE

OtakuSquirrel In reply to wwestfa [2011-10-12 17:37:16 +0000 UTC]

Egads! That one would probably be a custom order... Once I have the Pinkamina sculpt finished, a bit of dremel work on one of the casts would do the trick easy enough.

What can I say, I wanted to work in animation when I was in high-school... life just didn't cooperate with that goal, but that never changed the fact that it's one of my passions.

No, her eyes are like that too aren't they? Maybe not as shy looking, but they're not wide-eyed or determined like they should be...
