hey guys i was doing some grocery shopping last weekend when i came across
this creepy looking thing
this was the very last my little pony on the shelf i'm not even kidding this kid ran up to me after i
grabbed it but i just avoided eye contact i might have even heard her sniffling when i walked away
was probably just allergies though i'm sure i'm surprised it's so hard to find one of these my
little ponies in store i would order old ones online but all the ones i can ever find are 10
plus shipping which is already the price i can buy a new one at this one though princess
cadence was not an easy buy the treasury was not happy about this
she actually cost me four whole extra dollars
really stretching my budget with this one if you can find them cheaper anywhere
please do let me know maybe shoot me a link on instagram this is an
sos the treasurer needs your help if you're a real one make sure you watch the ads today
i need those four extra dollars back so this is princess cadence of the my little pony world
i thought her head could turn sorry i'm sure you've already guessed i'm doing another
my little pony doll makeover apparently she's having the best hair day not so sure about that
this whole box was a whole lot harder to open than i anticipated it was a journey
she comes with a lot of hair accessories so that'll be fun i can't wait
it may look like i'm struggling but actually this is exactly the look i was going for
princess cadence comes with these little twirly things i wasn't entirely sure what
they're supposed to do i'm guessing they're for curling her hair but i thought they could
be multi-functional and be used as six feet distance barrier in ten antennas all of my
arch enemies seem to have antennas anyways here's her galactic space warrior final form
she's clearly quite the looker honestly kind of intimidating
i did lose a couple accessories here and there no worries though she has plenty
more where that came from plus shedding all that extra weight gave her the ability to fly
not for long though
i'll take care of you my my little pony makeovers are inspired by nerdy crafters
she's done a few of these and i thought they turned out pretty cool before i get started
i had to take out all her accessories it actually took me about a half hour to put him in so it was
kind of a little bittersweet but i felt better after her new hairdo and i'm sure she did too
the head was pretty tough to get off but it was no match for me of course it was actually a very
stubborn head it was being difficult later on as well i gave her a very liberating look
she's now a whole new horse i wanted to give her a very close shave but scissors can only do so much
so i had to bring in some backup these electric clippers really helped achieve the bald look
princess camden's wanted it's actually kind of satisfying and like always i didn't forget about
the mirror there's still a little bit coming out but i had to let that slide there's only so much
i can do kind of looks like she's making a poop there was quite a bit of hair i ended up donating
it to the trash butler it was an emotional experience for both me and princess cadence
mostly for her i moved on pretty quick some of
you guys have been recommending i get a dremel tool to be honest i didn't wanna
they're kinda expensive and i want to keep the stuff i do as simple to recreate as possible
i don't think you gotta get all crazy and stuff the thing though is that the older
my little ponies seem to be made of a softer material princess cadence feels hard though
my scissors wouldn't have even made a dent i've actually already lost the nail clipper scissors
my grandma gave me to pinkie pie's nose i should probably be using some real scissors
but i'm going to just be using these little tiny ones from the nail clipper set my grandma gave me
so i didn't want to make the same mistakes twice princess cadence isn't gonna get the best of me my
girlfriend suggested using our one and only knife but there were obvious concerns about that like
how bloody things might get and if i were to lose this knife i would also lose my dinner just try to
be quiet okay so the risks outweigh the reward in this situation and so that's why i finally chose
to invest in a dremel tool it came in pretty handy for cutting off princess cadence's giant
solid ears and torn not sure how a knife would pull this off i also gave her a rough sanding
hopefully it'll help the paint and the epoxy stick better onto princess candace princess cadence
so then i mixed up some epoxy to get started on the sculpting i'm using epoxy because it's
air dry and that way you don't have to bake princess cadence in the oven she's been through
enough already princess cadence was loving her new look so far but i'm nowhere near done
you won't even recognize her once i'm done so this is the beginnings of her entirely new face
i started off by covering up everything i let her breathe through her nose for
a little bit figured that was the least i can do but eventually we had to say goodbye
if you're new here and you've ever breathed through your nose before
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 this one's her new nose
job i worked on it quite a bit gave her nostrils and everything even added some cheekbones and eye
sockets but things just weren't looking the way i wanted them to i'm quite the perfectionist with
my art so i decided to redo some stuff and start with a fresh base princess cadence deserves better
may she rest in peace these new and improved eye sockets might look a little higher up but that's
because they're not eye sockets at all they're where the horns will go i then went through and
really fleshed out the character brought in some of his facial features such as his new nostrils
and some bushy eyebrow plates also some unamused eyeballs and keeping up with my obsession with
blush of course i added that too i originally gave him some really twirly horns i thought they looked
cool but they didn't really look like him didn't really fit his personality so i simplified them a
bit if you haven't guessed already i'm working on recreating a dragon i drew in a create this
book episode this dragon was based on smaug from the hobbit he's basically a big red scary dragon
i gave him quite a bit of spikes i felt they were necessary my recreation of him isn't really
supposed to be that scary more just a board done with life kind of experience boring i figured that
since he's a dragon he's scary in and of himself he doesn't really need to prove anything to anyone
and he's well aware of that i'm gonna leave him here on this cup to dry while i work on his body
so here's princess cadence's headless body in my opinion she looked nothing like a horse to
begin with to me she looked more like a unicorn dinosaur with oversized ears her body is pretty
small compared to her head even to begin with i pretty much kept the proportions pretty similar
in the book he's a little chubbier but i kind of like the bobble head proportions of the my little
pony doll so i just worked with that i made her wings a little bigger though and made them more
dragon like this is a dragon wing for those of you who are uncultured they look a lot like bat wings
just more scaly i thought about adding some veins to the wings but ultimately decided against it
sometimes simplicity is best or i guess with my work it's always best i decided he could use a
belly i went in and added some indents to it i added a lot of horns and hooks and things to him
it was fun sculpting him but it took a long long time to paint all the little nooks and crannies
and i replaced her butt hair with an actual tail it's also adorned in spikes of course today's
theme was spikes i guess i didn't want my dragon to have horses hooves that would be unacceptable
even for me so i decided to give him some claws i sculpted the toes as best as i could the my
little pony's hooves are pretty close together they're not really supposed to have toes on them
there wasn't much space on them so i was just trying to make it work i had to cover up the
little hair on princess cadence's legs so i just tried to sculpt over them and blend it together as
much as possible on these mlp dolls it's never really a perfect blend the transition between
epoxy and plastic is always a bit noticeable but it really doesn't bother me too much after
i paint it my dragon's mostly red so i went in and painted everything in a red base coat i had
to build up a couple layers layer upon layer upon layer upon layer especially on the my little pony
plastic parts painting this one took a while just like i mentioned earlier the head was still giving
me problems so i decided to sand some bits of it here and there eventually i was able to shove it
back on which was not an easy feat up there goes the horn oh and its stomach and then i had to hot
glue all the casualties back on not too much of a disaster so that's good at least i accented
some of him with a dark maroon red his eyebrows speckles some spikes and a bit of his wings and
all that he has little beady black eyes so i kept those pretty simple and also added some black to
his nostrils the white paint was the hardest to layer it definitely took the longest and there
were a lot of little white spikes and details that needed to be painted very very carefully it's hard
to get the details to look clean i usually have to go back in a couple times to try and clean it up
i feel like he looks pretty close to the original drawing which i was really happy about but there
were still some little tweaks i needed to make in the drawing he had these black swirls going
around his horns i didn't paint those on initially because i thought it might end up looking sloppy
instead i went back in with some epoxy and sculpted those and then painted them to get
a cleaner finish surprisingly even with his big head he was still able to stand up on his own
feet but i really like the look of adding a base so i gave him a base anyway instead of keeping
the usual wooden look i used for my lol dolls i ended up giving him a black base to stand on
so here's the original princess cadence
and here's my red dragon haven't thought of a name for him yet although nameless i do really love him
