i did a huge mlp haul a while ago
guess what else i found at five below
and by huge i mean i bought like three
but it was a huge occasion for me was momentous
wow i was very proud of showing off my collection online to all of my internet friends
you guys you're my internet friends i think a couple of you were even jealous of my collection
a lot of you guys started to wonder why i bought them and then never did a makeover on them
some of you guys thought i might be becoming a professional mlp collector
a brony brownie i assure you guys that i'm still not a brony not that there's anything wrong with
bronies i'm just saying i'm not a brony brony brony i wasn't like admiring the mlps or anything
they were just like stuffed in the back of my closet i only looked at him like once
maybe twice rainbow dash really caught my eye today mostly because i've already massacred
pinkie pie like twice i don't need all this hair for the giraffe so i'm just gonna chop it all off
it's actually kind of satisfying it kind of looks like she's making a poop it's okay you're safe now
and twilight sprinkle kinda reminded me too much of princess luna and i'm trying to kind of forget
about that whole episode so today i'll be giving a makeover to rainbow dash the only viable option
plus had to do something about that rainbow we can't have that running around on the dark side no
i opened up rainbow dash just to get a better look at her and plan out my piece oh
she came to me today for a haircut
i don't know why though she has this gorgeously vomit-inducing flowing rainbow hair
i did advise her against it but she insisted please don't make me do it i'm begging
okay i started off by just trimming it a little bit you can always take more offs
but you can't put it back she insisted i keep going she showed me a reference
picture of jeff bezos and insisted she wanted his face who am i to judge
she also wanted a tail fade she is really going for that hairless look
i showed her my work and she seemed pretty pleased you like it not gonna lie i was too yes i've done
it again anyways that's enough messing around i'm not just a barber i'm also a plastic surgeon
so i hacked off her wings well i tried to
but her big head was getting in the way so i had to decapitate her
ew there were some flesh particles getting all over the place rainbow dash didn't make it easy
on me eventually i was able to chop off the wings but it did leave behind some bruising and texture
that's to be expected some battle wounds that got slightly better with some exfoliation
sanding block was on vacation today so sanding blocks third cousin twice removed
sanding rotary tool stepped in to help sand down rainbow dash
i'm using epoxy today to sculpt on her since she's plastic i can't shove her in the oven to bake
epoxy sculpt technically isn't air dry it's a chemical reaction that occurs when you mix
part a and part b together and then you have a little bit of time to work with it before it
hardens it works pretty well for dolls since you can't bake them someone asked where i get these
bigger tubs of epoxy i just get them on amazon the four pound buckets they last a while turns
out rainbow dash did want me to put some of her hair back on i'll see what i can do let's see here
so here's me just improvising with epoxy there's a bit of a mohawk situation going on i'm going to
be turning rainbow dash into the deranged donkey that thinks he's a unicorn hence the little short
mane that i'm giving him i use the clay tool to add some texture to it and to make it look more
realistic not that i'm aiming for realism but you know the mlp ponies have very smushed faces
like someone punched their snouts in it's an interesting look to say the least
to be honest they don't look anything like horses or donkeys rather more like a demented
hyena creature but that's not the look we're going for today no hope you enjoyed breathing
to try and make it look a little more like a donkey i'm adding some surface
area to the mouth region lots of surface area i wanted her lips to look like she's
doing that weird lip thing that horses and donkeys do like this
or something like that if you don't want your face to look like
forever you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel
and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new videos
every friday she also wanted me to put her butt hair back on so i replaced that with a little
donkey's tail not as aesthetic as her flowing blue butt hair that she originally had but at
least it's something to make up for it i even added a little bit of surface area to the butt
i hope you're happy it's always kind of hard to perfectly blend the epoxy into the doll
you can always kinda tell where the epoxy ends and where the doll begins which is kinda annoying but
it looks better once everything's painted i really don't remember filming this part
also added in some nostrils he mostly breathes through his mouth but i still added in the
nostrils it's an aesthetic choice oh at first i thought rainbow dash's ears would work out
alright for the deranged donkey's ears but the more i looked at it the more i realized that
they looked nothing like the donkey's ears so we'll just quickly get rid of those
for some reason i thought i could sculpt better ears no
it was nearly impossible sculpting the ears to be honest they just didn't
want to cooperate with me i thought maybe covering his whole face in epoxy might help
so that's what i did it's fine it's fine it's fine i was tired of looking at rainbow dash anyway
i did want to try and keep as much of the original rainbow dash as possible though i was just under
the impression that if i added more epoxy to the whole face then it might help with the ears
hopefully then the ears might actually stick on there i was wrong he has like floppy ears flying
in the wind not something that's easy to recreate on a sculpture i tried a bunch of different things
i tried using some floral wire to prop up the ears but it just wasn't staying inside the
epoxy at this point i wish i had just kept rainbow dash's ears but it's too late now
so i had to persevere while her ear antennas were drying i went on to do some dental work i
tried working on the ears some more but they were still being a bit too stubborn so i eventually
pulled out the wires the whole process was very frustrating instead of trying to make his ears
fly in the wind i settled on some floppy ears like nestled against his face i know it's not quite the
same but at this point i've spent way too long on them and i have to move on at some point they're
just gonna have to do the deranged donkey that thinks he's a unicorn has a toilet plunger stuck
to his head i don't know if he sticks it on there himself or if it got stuck on there at some point
either way though he now thinks he qualifies as a unicorn which i mean technically he does can't
argue with that i got a bunch of epoxy all over the my little pony took me a little while just
to scrape all that off sometimes sculpting gets a bit messy he's mostly gray as donkeys often are
no surprise there he's not gonna be adorned with a rainbow mohawk or anything like that he's going
for more of a subdued kind of look he doesn't like to stand out from the crowd too much not really
trying to draw any attention to himself his mouth and ears and stomach are a peachy kind of color
just a standard run-of-the-mill donkey i painted his eyeballs a bit i didn't paint them completely
just some base colors for now his teeth aren't rotting completely like the reverse centaurs
they're just kind of crooked and there's even a little gap in the middle there
he's got a pop of red on his toilet plunger it's really the only pop of color on him the handle
for the toilet plunger kept breaking off i'm just gonna leave it off for now get out of here
i didn't sculpt hooves on him like i said i wanted to keep as much of the my little pony the same as
possible not trying to completely change the doll just trying to work with what i have but of course
a donkey needs his hooves so i painted those on i gave him this posture where he's like looking back
at his butt not sure how his neck twists around that far i guess he's pretty flexible he likes
to torque for the crowds and he just wanted you guys to be able to appreciate his glutes
like i said he's a bit deranged slightly on the crazy side he's got my typical asymmetrical
eyeball kind of look one giant disturbing eyeball and the other slightly less giant but still giant
disturbing eyeball he had some water from the toilet plunger adorning his whole face before
so i wanted to recreate that i wanted to try something a little different so i attempted
to do it with blue puffy paint i wasn't entirely sure if it would look good or not but after blow
drying it i think it looks pretty cool i did it with puffy paint since i wanted to have a 3d look
rather than just painting on some splatters i could have sculpted it on with epoxy but i
just felt like experimenting with the puffy paint to see how it would look
i felt like he still needed something so i started sculpting a little accessory there
a little poop to tie things together that's it he farts rainbows the farts are what propel him and
make him believe that he's flying needless to say he's got quite the imagination i just assumed his
poops must also be rainbow so i'm just gonna be painting this poop rainbow with some posca pens
i plopped it under his butt to make it look like it's a fresh deposit
to seal everything in and make sure nothing cracks or chips i spray painted it with some mr
super clear and to make the eyes really pop because clearly they're not popping enough
i went over the eyes with some glossy varnish to give him that glossy-eyed look
so here he is the deranged donkey that thinks he's a unicorn he was honestly a
little more challenging for me to make than the dragon i feel like he shouldn't have
been but i just don't know what went wrong i think he turned out okay in the end though
did you know that rainbow poop is contagious
