Okay. She looks like she's bent in rather wierd ways. It doesn't look natural. Did you just shape the tail over the rear legs? It looks it.

Next time cut the back half of the pony off. Make a rough shape of what you want out of aluminum foil, attach it to the pony body and then mold the clay around it. You can make a far more natural looking tail that way.

Thanks for your advice!
I actually did cut the legs off the pony, all the way up to the rear end...and I did use foil scrunched up in a tail shape under the clay..
I kinda bent the tail this way on purpose, I was going for a curved kinda look, and wanted the pony to be sort of in a jumping position if that makes sense..but yea, the shape was done on purpose.
Merponies in general are kind of, I dunno, awkward? It is difficult to make it look completely natural, I think, they usually look like they're standing on their front legs and tail instead of swimming.
Well thanks for your honesty and contstructive criticism

Thank you! It's not quite as bad as you think. The great thing about apoxie sculpt is that you can mix just a small amount at a time, work with that, and then come back the next day and do it all over again, til it's all done. And no baking! A merpony is definitely a bit of work but it's well worth it.
