As I zoom in (and pay more attention) I see that the clay is "grainy" with lots of different particulates in it, almost the clay version of concrete. What are the pros and cons between that type of clay and Sculpey? As I see more and more sculpture I'm just getting more curious I guess.
The concepts are a lot of fun, and the Pinkie Pie is a very sweet thought, and I hope the new Dash idea turns into something breathtaking. The epic "mares with weapons" sounds like it could be a lot of fun despite the grim vibe I get whenever others discuss the story (even apart from that picture
Heck, it may be time to create a dA group solely for Friendship is Magic sculpture and 3D.
The type clay I'm using is called Orangestone and according to my teacher it's the strongest of the clays that are available at our bookstore. It's due to the high grain content and that makes it very durable which makes it possible to do more stuff with it.
I've always wanted to do a sculpture that showed a lot of action and motion. Before I came up with the Dash idea, I had originally wanted to do that with the Celestia and Luna sculptures. Maybe have them galloping with the swords dragging the ground kicking up dirt, but after researching how horses run, that would have been very difficult to pull off without proper planning (which I haven't got a chance to do).
I actually had an even more grim idea for Celestia and Luna, but the sculpture would have been huge after I got done with it. I had wanted to do a scene with them right after a battle. Celestia's laying down with cuts and scrapes, one of her wings is matted up, and Luna's walking up to her to comfort her or something. It would have been a complete scene with background elements.
And you may be right about that group.
Though #PoniesPlus has a great Pony related creations section for sculptures, there could be enough sculptors and CGI artists (et cetera) someday that could use a place to
rant about the trickinessdiscuss the nuances of the designs and share techniques. I only know of four so far, and you're the only one who's been particularly pronylific.
