Sculpting challenge, Day 152: pony continued! Also continuing my jewelry side project

[milleniumgypsy]

Tonight I nearly completed my pony sculpt! I still need to put in the mane groove and tail hole, and then of course sculpt said hair. I've decided that I'm going to bake the entire pony first before I sculpt and bake the hair. That seems like the safest way to go. And I do have a plan for it!

I attached the legs, sculpted the shoulders and hindquarters, worked more on the barrel, attached the head and sculpted the neck. I spent a looooot of time on the body today. I am also really, really happy with how she's coming along.

I don't know if you can see, but the face thing I did is hopefully visable in the pictures. Can you see her teeth? :3 That should be a good clue to who she's supposed to be. hehe Well, that and the pink. :D











I also continued my pendants! I didn't have time to finish them but that's because the armatures took so long. They needed to be pretty beefy so I glued a bunch of cardstock together and that needed time to dry. I'm sure there was probably an easier way to do it, but I was just working with materials I was familiar with. n_n



I have them attached to the main body of the pendant now, and tomorrow I will cover them in clay and glitter. I decided the MH sized pendent was too small to bother with armatures and will just get clay attached when I do the larger pieces. I'm excited to finish them! I'm just sad that I didn't finish them in time for tomorrow. Ah well, soon enough!
I'm also thinking about making another piece, one smaller that looks like more traditional jewlery.

I so hope this doesn't come across in text as offensive, because I don't mean it to be at all. The ponies you are sculpting remind me of deer - they are adorable.

Nope, that's not offensive at all! Scottie actually said that the first pony reminded him of a deer too before I added the mane and tail. They're really stylized so it makes sense that you could look at them as something other than what they're intended to be. n_n

I'm glad that you like them! :3

That pony is so cute *---*. And yes, I can see the teeth! *o*.

Thank you! I'm glad you could see the teeth too. :D
