@mintystarshine and then Pinkie pie floating down to "land" on the boat
-
@mintystarshine I'm just surprised, I'd say.
-
@mintystarshine Again, here's my DA: http://ur1.ca/g15nd

@mintystarshine Oh hell, I'd find it awesome if you did. I know far too much about this stuff and haven't had anyone to tell about it in quite a while. Message me on DA or something and I'll send you a bunch of links and technical info.
-
@mintystarshine I can either teach you how to do that or give you links to learn how, if you truly desire to do that type of work. I'm actually kinda decent at it, though I haven't done it in a while.
-
@mintystarshine I sadly do not get out as much as I used to, I used to be out there everywhere, but these days I am no longer like that. I generally sit on RDN or manage over my social network sites.
-
@mintystarshine I have no idea why but I assumed MLP Arena was some weird fighting game.
-
@mintystarshine Hmm.. no, non of those ring a bell what so ever sadly. And yet I feel as if I know you, what a bizzare morning.
-
@mintystarshine I have a contractor a few miles away who does all my molds in silicone. I have him cast all my pieces in rotocast resin (hollow heads) in certain colors depending on the piece. Perfect replica of your work every time.
-
@mintystarshine I have no idea what so ever, I just feel like I know that art style and name
-
@mintystarshine I feel like I know you from somewhere
-
@mintystarshine Steve Perry, of band Journey, known for life-changing classics such as "Don't Stop Believin" and "Faithfully"
-
@mintystarshine I've used the same 50 lbs of oil clay since 2009 or so. Fish out the plaster pieces then start all over.
-
@mintystarshine wow, totally meant range, not ability XD
-
@mintystarshine Well, if you want me to get technical, "figure sculpting" is usually done with pure wax...very, very, very, VERY difficult. I can't do it at all. And I'm talking about scale figures with removable/articulated parts.
-
@mintystarshine I do the singing. As far as my vocal ability, think Steve Perry, michael bolton, stuff like that.
-
@mintystarshine Oil clay is a fantastic medium, overall. It can be melted back down, and, in fact, I have about 50 lbs of it here that I'm using for various projects. As long as you keep large pieces of debris out of it and keep it bagged up, you can use it forever.
-
@mintystarshine The other clay the person let you use that needed to be watered is something called "pottery clay"...It's water-based and better for turning on a wheel than sculpting a character in any size.
-
@mintystarshine Sculpey is polymer-based and EXTREMELY HARD TO USE. I can't stress that enough. Plus, it's hard to see, visually. It comes in that solid white and that really translucent version for "Super Sculpey."
-
@mintystarshine 1.) It doesn't dry out, 2.) it can be melted in an oven, and 3.) it comes in three different hardnesses, based on wax content. I'm using Chavant NSP Soft for these sculptures I have right now. It's about $9 per 2-pound block...I hear Medium is much better for the kinds of fine detail I do with it, but meh. Never tried it.
-
@mintystarshine 1.) Clip them damn nails off. 2.) Very soft, medium-sized brush with 90% isopropyl alcohol. (We're talking oil clay right now.)
-
@mintystarshine Can you view this? It's an early view of my Kurt Barlow bust before I added his clay base and smoothed it out. Clay is soooo freeing. It's kind of like digital, too. You can always undo what you don't like: http://ur1.ca/geuly

@mintystarshine You're the first DA artist I've actually clicked watch on. <3 Thank you for following me and thus indirectly showing me your deviantart.
-
@mintystarshine Can I say something? Clay, in my opinion, is even MORE satisfying. You're moving it with your own hands, you're intimately feeling out all the details, and it becomes something really personal and important in that way. For 3D work in digital, you'd have to 3D-print it or something...For what I do, you mold it and have an exact replica right in hoof. XD
-
@mintystarshine Being able to walk around and touch your idea in a physical form is so satisfying. I'd advise you to get into it a bit more. Hell, I can offer suggestions and tips if you want.
-
@mintystarshine Thank you. :3 Sculpture is what I focused on long before I got into Pony. There's just something about making a 3D product that totally eclipses digital (except Zbrush) and drawn media for me.
-
@mintystarshine I went to check my email and one said you followed me and your deviantart and ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod <3

@mintystarshine OH MY GOD YOUR ART <3
