Description [Achievement unlocked: Foalhood Dream]

Even if nothing else of consequence happens in the second half of this season, I think we can already call it a success. Rainbow Dash is for really real a real Wonderbolt, and that's an occasion worth celebrating with a sculpture.


It's made from Creall Do & Dry and painted with acryllic paint. For the yellow parts of the costume I decided to try something new: I made makeshift decals by spraying acryllic paint onto a sheet of glass and then cutting the shapes out and peeling them off with a razor blade. I think it turned out... rrrrrelatively well. The glass in her goggles is made from cellphone screen protectors.
At the last minute I added some roots and a little bone to the cliff/overhang for comedic effect. I mean, there has to be a bone. There's always a bone.

Interesting idea on the decals, but I imagine the paint job had have been at least three layers thick to prevent tearing.Β 

The goggles idea is one I had never thought of. I'll have to keep it in mind for future projects.Β 

This is a marvelous piece.Β

Yeah, a couple of layers of yellow and finally a white one as a background, because I use a really cheap paint and the yellow especially doesn't do well on it's own. Also mixed in a little transparant acryllic to make it more flexible and rubbery.

That makeshift decal idea is incredibly clever, thank you for sharing. And the sculpture is absolutely glorious.
