Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday. I’ve been exceptionally busy over the holidays and decided to not overcomplicate my life with sculpting, so I just decided to take some time off. I’m finally back now and I’ve begun painting the Celestia I was working on prior to the holiday.

I’ll be working on her in the next week and I’ll post pictures as soon as I can. Sorry for the wait, but I should be back sculpting again.

She stands about 10inches tall and is made from a combination of Super Sculpey and Fimo puppen clay. She has received a base coat and is ready for painting.

Celestia (C) Hasbro

Is it too late for me to ask how you paint as well? >- < Do you use the same paint you use to paint other figurines? And a base coat of primer right? To ready her for painting?

Would the paint affect the clay in any way? Do you see the paint strokes? Do you have to get an even coat? Does the paint dry faster on the clay, or can you go a slow steady pace? Does the paint affect the weight....uhmm..that probably sounds silly but I'm just curious. Is there anything you really should be careful with painting the figure besides just being careful?

And one more question..hope that's okay >///<.... As long as you state that she's owned by Hasbro, you can still sell it without getting into trouble? Or do you have to send Hasbro some of the profit?

I use Master's Touch acrylics. I use a very smooth spray primer before hand painting the figure.

The paint does not affect the clay in any way. The paint takes about 5 min to dry enough to paint more and 15 min to dry completely. The paint does not affect the weight. The best tip is be patient and use dilute paints. If you get your paint too thick, it'll look terrible in the long run. It's better to paint multiple coats than 1 or 2 thick coats.

Hasbro doesn't care if you sell a figure or two on a small scale. You don't need to contact them or send them money. They only care if people mass produce things. When you list your prices, just don't mention the names of the ponies. Just say a pony commission is a certain price.

Oh okay. *nods*

Dilute paints? And okay.

A pony commission? How so?

Hasbro has only had issue when you name names. Just don't use pony names, in regards to commissions, except in private notes and you'll never have any issues.

What if you sell it outside DevianArt? Just call them pony commissions as well and only call them by their names in private? > -< Because the fans of that pony will call it by their name..so would that still count?

As long as you the seller don't use their names publicly, Hasbro will never do anything.

Thank you. She's about 1/3 painted now, but it's been really busy lately and I've been really tired once I finally get time. I guess that's life though. Hopefully I can get her finished soon. :)
