Title: Fluttershy to "Muffins" g4 blindbag conversion
Post by: Xenotropos on April 09, 2017, 11:25:46 PM

Pretty simple mod really: just a repaint of a blindbag Fluttershy to Muffins/Whatever her name is these days.

No muffins were harmed in the making of this pony.  Bad lighting is bad.

Title: G4 Blindbag Pinkie Pie to FlufflePuff: too big for my britches
Post by: Xenotropos on April 10, 2017, 07:48:49 PM

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:

Very cute! :D I think you did a graet job on her, and now you know for if you ever decide to make more or take commissions on them. :)

Cute! No such thing as "too big for your britches" while experimenting with art for learning!
