This guy... This guy was a challenge.

He was originally a Twilight Sparkle. I shaved her, cut her ears and tail, and extended her horn. I also put a thin layer of Green Stuff over her body to obscure the cuts.

The holes were made by scoring with a craft knife, then hammering a small nail through her legs. I then heated my dental probe and melted the holes open.

The wings are made from a plastic bottle, cut down and Sharpied blue. Turned out surprisingly well. The bottle I originally tried to use was too dark.

I am immensely proud of this guy, don't think he could've turned out any better.

Just curious, how did you get the mane off? Was it difficult? I want to repaint and re-sculpt some for myself but I can't figure out how to remove the hair.

With a craft knife and some guesswork. I just went at it and hoped for the best :P

I smoothed over where I went too deep with some Green Stuff, because it's bound to happen.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it as my first try, I'm hoping to improve with the next few.

Thought you'd like him :D

There will be another 3/4 minions yet, as well as Chrysalis.

For some reason, I want to suggest you do one for each sculpt.
