Full Sculpting, Casting, and Painting Process for an Amazing Luna Figure

Shuxer59 has posted up an awesome video showing the process behind creating a new line of Luna figures that we can all hopefully some day all throw money at him for. This one is different from his usual speedsculpts, going into detail on materials, building the molds, and of course finishing the final figure.

Apparently these will be on sale soon, though he hasn't announced how many. Keep an eye out!

It's all in Russian, so turn on subtitles. Get it below!

Awesome Pony Anatomy Tutorial by DimFann!

I absolutely adore it when artists share their methods on how they draw our cute cartoon horses. It's technical and can be a bit overwhelming, but it's beautiful and certainly helpful for those new and old who draw equines. I guess it's so cool to me because we're getting down to where form meets function in a biological way, heh.

Anyhow, with our open art event going on and it always being a little slow in the mornings, I thought I'd share this new comprehensive guide made by DimFann! It's got everything from wings, to horns, to how legs and hooves work. It really is an all in one treat!

If you're interested from the example above check out the whole collection of tutorial images here and give DimFann a look at their Twitter while you're at it (account does contain some suggestively posed pony, nothing serious).

Also make sure to check out our Tutorial Codex sometime for more pony tutorials!

A lot of people who have bought plushies over the years have asked me about ways to clean them. Not knowing how to myself or knowing of anyone that had a good guide I wasn't able to steer them in the right direction.

MLP Piano Tutorials: Hush Now, Quiet Now | A Circle of Friends / The Heart Carol

In case art tutorials aren't your thing, I also have for you today some piano tutorials from DrSentenial. In these well put-together tutorials he walks you through the songs step by step with annotations and hand movements laid out nicely.

Give them a look, even if you don't play the piano. They're pretty neat! You can find both embedded after the break.

Tutorial: Vector Art Creation

You'll never guess what I found lingering in the inbox, gathering dust in a corner- something neat for all you aspiring vector artists out there.

Captain Nemo has put together a two-part tutorial for creating vector traces of the show's art. All you need is a copy of Adobe Illustrator and some patience, and you too can put together something for the vector club! Which is a bigger deal than it sounds like, because that's the first place I go when I need a vector for a banner or something. So basically I'm giving you a key to our banners. I'm so nice.
