red panda love

i looove red pandas. i want to have a red panda farm where they can frolic and be adorable.

i see lots of photos of red pandas sticking their tongues out. surely they would like popsicles, right? i really like how these came out. i've been wanting to animate red pandas for a long time now. maybe i can do something with this little guy..

My Little Pony Madness

I got bit by the pony bug.

Not being in a market with those neat plastic toys, I fell into the same thing that always happens when I don't like the toys for something...I make my own.

I did Applejack first because, honestly, she's my least favorite of the main cast and I wanted to work the kinks out with her. Glad I did because I learned a lot from working on her. Her face isn't perfect, but that was part of the learning process.

Quite pleased with how Pinkie came out, especially her hair. I learned to keep the tail detachable with the help of some wire which  makes painting sooo much easier.

They're both around 2.5" tall, made with super sculpey and painting with acrylic craft paint.

This is probably not the end of this...
