Merionic figurines!

[Merion 783]

So, here's something I've been working on for MONTHS! My custom resin-cast pony figurines!  ٩(ˊᗜˋ)و

 

Materials I use:

● polyurethane resin

● SuperSculpey polymer clay

● I hand-paint them with acrylics and cover them with acrylic varnish

 

Figurine size: 

● 13 cm (5.1") tall

● 8 cm (3.1") measured from the front hoof to the back hoof

 

So, here comes the first one I made, Trixie! She is pretty much just a prototype, my resin-casting guinea pig. ♥ Hope you like her and don't mind all the minor mistakes I made. (◡‿◡✿)

MORE PONIES TO COME!

Hello ,

 

I have moved your topic to Other Fanworks. Fan Art deals with works that heavily use digital art and editing programs, while Other Fanworks is used for works like videos, cosplay or, in this case, sculptures.

[Merion 783]

Thanks, Odyssey! ^v^

Got a little lost there!

Okay, so here's another one I made! Flutterbat was fun to make, I loved working on her messy mane.

Both are amazing! I love the Flutterbat one especially, the mane looks perfect! Very well done, wish I could make something like that. The best figure/model thing I've ever created was a clay model of ghost freak from Ben 10 back I was younger. Hahah.

[Merion 783]

Thanks guys! ♥ I really needed some positive feedback on these, people hardly ever notice my works. ^^'

 

Okay, so here's another one, Vinyl Scratch! Her mane was quite a challenge, to be honest...

Okay, more ponies! Because there's no Vinyl Scratch without an Octavia. ^^

Wow, those look awesome . Fantastic work . 

[Merion 783]

Nghhh, thank you guys for the words of appreciation! ^0^

I still have a couple of photos left to post... So why not now?!

 

So, time for DERPY! I plan to make more pegasi figurines sometime, the feathery wings are fun to sculpt!

So I just bought Flutterbat, and I'll be absolutely honest: this is the only MLP 'merchandise' I've ever considered buying.

[Kiri 7,288]

Very nice, my favorite is the Vinyl one because I love the way you did her mane and shades.

NO WAY! I'm so excited, I doubted they'd sell at all! Thank you so much!! 

I've just packed her up for you and I'll ship her on Monday. (I'll PM you all the details!)

Ok, so here comes Aria Blaze! She's my favourite Dazzling and it's a shame she doesn't get as much fan art as the rest...

With how good they are, I was actually worried they'd be sold before I could get one.

Okay, I'm blushing!

 

Time for the last canon character I made so far... Lyra wearing a hoodie! Because I like the idea of Lyra wearing human clothing. ♥

Wow, this is just awesome! Perhaps you should open up a commission shop sometime.

Thank you! I certainly will, starting next summer!

That coloring job is amazing! Also, wonderful job on the anatomy and that pose is so cute!

[s.slug 218]

This simply amazes me!!  I just had to stop lurking and comment on this.  You're very talented!  Also, nice job with the pictures OF the figurines.

The credit for the photos goes to my dad, I'm a lousy photographer!

It got removed by one of the admins the other day... Apparently it violated one of the site rules! (Selling things on the Forums is not allowed... even if you actually sell on Etsy and just share the link to your shop on the Forums   )

 

Try googling "MerionMinor", if you're interested!

Anyway! In my school there's a workshop where the Architecture students make their architectural models and whatnot... And the workshop supervisor was kind enough to let me settle my little resin-casting project there!   School assignments keep me way too busy to customize these figures, but I'm still glad I managed to squeeze some casting into my busy schedule! 

 

 

These blank bases are 10+ hours worth of casting, filing, sanding and polishing...I want them to be as smooth as possible!

 

And customizing them takes even more time and effort! I hand-sculpt their manes, tails, wings and accessories and then I paint them (both an airbrush and a set of regular detail brushes are involved). It's fun but really time-consuming...

 

But in July, when I'm finally done with school, A LOT OF PONY IS GOING TO HAPPEN. CANON CHARACTERS AND OCs. I MEAN. TONS. OF. PONY. 

 

I cant waiiiiit!
