That's magnificent! Her expression is just absolutely perfect too!

I haven't decided where she's going yet. I can send you a shout if I decide to sell her though.

I'm now taking a few offers out of curiosity (two from over on DA), if you'd like, you can send me a note. :3 I'll have to wait on the other offers before I can get back to you though.

Stunning.

Damn, I think that's by far the smoothest sculpture I have seen so far, it's flawless ;3;

awesome D;

What a fabulous Rainbow Dash! Your details are so smooth and perfect. Very crisp like. How did you make the wings?

Wire mesh sandwiched between layers of sculpey premo (the most flexible/durable polymer clay). They actually flex around if you push on them, I tried to design them so they won't break if she's tipped over or falls a short distance. And thank you!

woah, i thought this was a 3d print at first bc it is so flawless and the paintjob is perfect. great work!

Dude, put an auction up for her. This is hands down the best pony sculpt I've ever seen

Auctions are too much fuss for me, but thank you! (also viistar, frozenpyro71, groovebird and dustysculptures make some incredible pony sculpts on DA)

YOUD MAKE BANK, YOU GIANT BUTT

Just too cool! XD

500% cooler.

Just look at that freakin' mane. Definitely stands among your best works, and you oughta be proud of Dashin' with the best! :3

I also commend you your perfectionist streak and eye for detail. "Meticulous" doesn't quite cover it: It's lovely. Begs to go on adventures with, really, and we all know Dashventures are the best. *Sighs*

Aww, thank you. <3

Is this hand work?? Not a printer output? If so, brilliant craftsmanship.

It is, yes. Thank you kindly! :D

I haven't indulged in digital sculpture yet, but doing so would seem to be the wise choice long-term. The printer technology is improving rapidly, and eventually full color printing in durable plastics may be possible.

I'm super impressed, as getting that level of clean surfaces is a pain for me. Do you build up an overcoat to even things out, or is that pretty much as sculpted? Dang! Have you seen the color printing Shapeways has been doing?

I do some minor filling in of nicks and scratches with a hobby filler, the name of which escapes me at the moment. Mostly though it's just a round of dremeling, then a round of sanding sponges of various grits. If I could sculpt like "Viistar" on deviantart I wouldn't even need to sand. http://viistar.deviantart.com/art/P.....-wip-519659768 What she achieves with sculpey is nothing short of outrageous. To finalize, I use thinner and thinner coats of acrylic color then a matte spray varnish. It hides any remaining flaws and makes things look nice and cartoony.

Shapeways color sandstone printing is pretty snazzy. If I sculpt something digitally I'll have to think about getting it finalized by them.

Real effin' slick work on this one!

Much obliged! The strategy is to make the sculpture excessively large, then the flaws become smaller. Nevermind the staggering material costs, finances can be sorted later.

Truly great work will be always be handsomely rewarded ^^
