TripleRainbowDash makes some of the sweetest ponies in the sculptiverse!



>Hey, TRD! Tell everypony a little about yourself.

I'm an amateur percussionist, shipping fanatic, and swimmer - aside from those things (and sculpting, of course), my life doesn't revolve around much. 

>How did you stumble into the world of pony-sculpting?

Once upon a time, I wandered around the MLP Wiki and marveled at how appealing the characters looked - how could you overlook a pony with rainbow hair? - and I wondered if and how I could contribute to such a vast community. 

I glanced to the side, seeing a dusty package of clay most likely bought during the Jurassic Era. 

...You don't want to see the results. 

I picked up some Crayola clay about three months later and gathered a bit of knowledge about sculpting, and what followed was a summer of much pony, Mountain Dew, and hilarious conversations with family members ("That's a horse?"). And here I am. 



>You've cultivated a very distinct and adorable style along the way. What are your favorite materials these days?

I prefer Super Sculpey and a few tools I picked up from Michaels, along with an X-acto knife. 



>How many ponies have you made so far?

About 30, not including my early attempts. 



>What's the hardest part of the process?

:iconfeaturedartist: Making sure sculpts don't fall over in the oven! 

>What are some of your favorite projects?

I loved working on Rarity- her color scheme has such a nice contrast.

>And how about non-favorite projects?

Honestly, I dislike working on anything larger than three inches because it limits how much detail I can do.

>Do you sell your ponies?

I'd like to!



>Do you have any big plans for future works?

I'm planning on making a large Seapony soon, along with a Celestia and Chrysalis. So many ideas, so little clay!

>Any advice for aspiring pony-sculptors?

Reference everything - even sitting poses! Don't be afraid to demolish something if you don't like how it's turning out. I definitely recommend purchasing 's novel Creature Sculpt (www.emilysculpts.com/creatures…), too. It's worth every penny! 



>Last one: Best pony?

Depending on the month, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, or Applejack.
