Hey! I did the first bits of sculpting I've done in months just the other day and, while I can't show you anything, I can tell you it felt damn good. Like putting on a snug fitting jacket, I was immediately comfy for the 3-4 hours of time.

But in the mean time I figured I'd spend a lil time to write out a thing I've been wanting to do for a while. Give a shout out to some of the other sculptors in the biz. Cause if I ain't sculpting I sure as hell can live vicariously by watching others do it.

These mostly consist of pony sculptors (and a couple of other types too) that have been rocking it around in 2016 that I've particularly enjoyed. There'll be some friends, some old faces, and the occasional new sculptor that might surprise you. So please check them and leave a nice comment or two, maybe even a follow. Because if they're anything like me, they'll lavish in your support for them. If anything, I hope you enjoy some new faces in the sculpting world.

Raising the Night by StrayC70
:iconstrayc70: - Bursting out of the gates is StrayC70 starting out last year they've dived head long into sculpting producing fantastic sculptures in a rather short bit of time. The poses are vibrant and the paint job clean and detailed. I do fancy that Coloratura!

NCMares Twalot by Shuxer59 by Shuxer59
:iconshuxer59: - I rather don't think I need to introduce this one as you should know Shuxer59 by now. Starting off last year as well, from the get go this sculptor had style & poise to make some amazing sculptures. Their knack for clothing & hair detail is something even I'm envious of. Even more so their body of work continues to amaze month over month. Seriously don't miss out on this sculptor!

Black Friday Sale! All ponies 20-50% off! by EarthenPony
:iconearthenpony: - Yes EarthenPony is still at it sculpting the ever tiny ponies sitting or napping or whatever ponies do! Which apparently includes bathing in martini glasses! He's even added hanging bat pons to his repertoire! 

-------------

MLP:FIM Nightmare Moon really evil edition by uBrosis
:iconubrosis: - As far as I know I think uBrosis is the only ponysculptor to do epoxy sculpting (barring epoxy resin of course). And given that each sculpture is only a couple of inches tall, he does a dang fine job of it. The expressions and armor continue to impress. He's even made a Vivi sculpt that's incredibly detailed. He knows my <3 well~

--------------------


:iconilonadi: - Starting mid November of last year, IlonaDi has done some amazing work for such a short time to make wonderful looking ponies (including some interesting horses/dragons). The sculptor does very much wear their influence on their sleeves when it comes to posing their pony sculptures. While not a bad thing by any stretch, I would love to see them incorporate the techniques they used on their dragons & real life horses into their pony sculptures. 
I also think Vinyl Scratch holding up her glasses to the sun is a particularly adorable scene.

Sculpture: Discord MLP [FOR SALE] by Arnne
:iconarnne: Not just a Pony sculptor but a Steven Universe sculptor as well?! *gasp* Mi corazon! With a heavy use of acrylic & some thick black outlines, Arnne does an adorable job bringing cartoons to life. The above Discord is proof of that & would fit perfectly on any work/inspiration desk. Also dat Yellow Diamond face :3

------------------------------------


Spike comparrisons by McMesser
Speaking of cutesy lookie at the lil babby Spikey-wikey~~  daaaaw~
:iconmcmesser: - Its always super cool to see McMesser kicking around the clay; adding more to his repertoire with clothes and expanded wings. Maybe we'll see a another FOE in our future?

-------------------------------------


:icondarklyne: - God dang it! Having Rainbow dash sleep on the cloud of her own cutiemark is such a great idea I can't even believe I didn't think of it before!! Its so good I want to steal this idea. Can I steal this idea Darklyne?
-------------------------------------

Amber :: OC Commission by StrawberryMeadow
:iconstrawberrymeadow: - Custom maker turned full sculptor, StrawberryMeadow makes some of the most adorable ponies~~ When I look through their gallery I can't get over how adorably round those eyes are~ And that Double Diamond is super-duper cuuute~!

-------------------------------------

Nightmare Moon in the forest by LordAndemon
:iconlordandemon: - Wonderful sculptor & fellow outdoorsman! Its rather rare to see sculpture photography done outdoors, but when LordAndemon does it, it brings out the color & texture of their sculptures in an absolute wonderful light. This is especially true for the various creatures & critters they make outside of MLP. The shapes are so wonderfully varied & the texture rich. I crave to see single shots of these pictures just so I can use them as wallpaper~

-----------------------------------

So that's it for part one of this write up. Part of me was in utter disbelief at the number of sculptors out there making ponies.
At the same time, I'm super proud to see it still growing and seemingly getting better with each new artist as if they've assimilated the previous generations knowledge & techniques to continue to push pony sculpting further. 

And I'd be remiss to say if I missed your sculpture(s), I'm sorry I did! I am but one humble sculptor, so please feel free to link them in the comments below & I'll give it a look-see~ Maybe you'll be featured here in the future!


You can always check out more Pony sculptures at the :iconponysculptors: page! Maybe even win one in a giveaway ending in a couple weeks~~

As always Happy Sculpting!
