So... I love the Fluffle Puff cartoons, so I thought my Nerd Herd needed a pink fluffy annoying thing in it.
I started with a standard g4 blind bag Pinkie Pie and a heck of a lot of Fimo. I learned a few things along the way.
One: my Pinkie had an empty space between her hair and her neck, fairly square and even. It looked like some kind of plastic savings measure OR a mistake that was kept when the original model was made. Or maybe it was just this particular Pinkie. I had to carve off a lot of mane to get a better shape and that's how I found it. It makes her neck really unstable, so keep your pressure light when carving bits off.
Two: these blindbags often have huge, unintentional airholes inside them, particularly the heads. So did this Pinkie. I discovered it when I was smoothing out a place to sculpt her another ear. Oh well, fill and proceed.
Three: the Pinkie Pie model is unstable on her legs on a good day. DO NOT OVERBAKE THE PINKIE when she's covered in fimo. I left her in a bit too long and she had a distinct list to port afterwards. This was remedied by making her a detachable base.
Four: Fluffle Puff is darn hard to replicate. In hindsight I think this was a little ambitious for me. She's good enough for my herd, but I need practice if I ever want to consider opening commissions on these things.
Anyway, here's the pictures:
