Title: Teeny Merponies..
Post by: Blackness on January 19, 2020, 01:15:25 AM

My latest project was supposed to be quick and easy yet somehow still took 8 weeks to finish!!

Both ponies were rehaired in various shades of Dolly Hair - I'm thinking of curling the manes still, not sure? Anyway, the back legs were chopped off lol and tails were sculpted from polymer clay, with a wire frame. I tried new methods of sculpting scales, personally I'm not a fan of the blue tail but the damn things take so long to sculpt that I'm not re-doing it :lol:

Eyes were repainted, as were ears and hooves and the purple pony has a new ear sculpted from polymer clay. Hope you guys like them! Feel free to make hair style suggestions! :blush:

Thank you!! I really don't like the blue scales LOL, think it looks more reptilian than fishy but it's nice to hear that someone else likes them!

Extra thank you for commenting on the eyes lol! Even though I despise painting (and somewhat cheat with eyes by leaving the original design and basically just paint directly over the top) I was extra patient with these guys, took almost two weeks to repaint 4 eyes hahaha but for once I'm pretty pleased with the results! Thanks for noticing :biggrin:

Adorable little mermaids! I think they would look great with curly manes :)

These are great! Not a huge fan of the teeny baby ponies so this makes them much more appealing
