Description In-progress shots of Shining Armor for . Mostly for my own reference since I'm thinking of doing another one with his Captain of the Guard armor on. If anyone's wondering why his back was so sloped: I was trying to alter his posture but I didn't like the way it looked so I fixed it, so ignore that part I guess.

Media: Polymer clay (Sculpey Primo) on Snowcatcher base.

I already have a shining armor, I just need to know how to do his mane.

So that's how it's done. Very similar to my techniques but you just seem to do a lot better in the end.

It's all about working up and sanding down.

Thanks! I'm getting ready to paint it now, actually. I've been getting side tracked lately by a million other things.

He looks AMAZING! My jaw literally dropped seeing the sculpt you did I've been wondering if you wanted to do some kind of custom pony trade and seeing this just makes me really want one of your customs especially soon haha.

I really look forward to seeing how this one turns out though. The overall body sculpting really amazing and accurate.

Truth be told, I'm not going to take any more trades for a bit because I'm flat broke. If you'd like to wait for a bit and we can work out a trade once my cupboards aren't as bare or you can buy one so I don't have to eat my shoes (complete exaggeration).

Lols I completely understand. Money's a bit tight here as well and all of real life is kinda weighing down. I'm definitely willing to wait for a bit for a trade from you though. Just thought I would throw the offer up in the first place haha.

Aaahh he's going to look AMAZING <3

I'll keep you updated on Toothless! I have an exam on Monday and another on Tuesday, but then I'm all done and will be back to work C:

Thanks!!! I'm so psyched about that Toothless! I have to say I've had a lot of fun with this one, and I even got to get out the hacksaw! Its taken a bit longer than usual cause I've been busy lately and I have some kind of obnoxious hacking cough (it sounds worse than it actually is but its really annoying!!). On top of that, I've somehow managed to trash my favorite detail brush so now I have to go get a new one. So expect Shining Armor to be finished and ready to go by Monday or Tuesday.

Nice modifications! Looks better than that blocky Hasbro Shining Armor.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the Hasbro one is too blocky. I hate its head. Ugh!

I wonder who comes up with these designs. Its like they don't even watch the show.

Amandkyo-Su In reply to Colour-Splashes [2012-06-09 19:27:56 +0000 UTC]

I don't think they watch the show either XD I wish I knew more about their toy making process.
