I didn't get very good pictures of this because I had to send it out very suddenly. A friend IRL requested an Octavia, and now that she's home I finally got my butt in gear and made her collage thing.
The commissioner only wanted one side to have a cutie mark.

Sculpey and patience, hah I use a shishkabob stick that fits perfectly into her plot hole, make a small tail base, bake that for 5 min, then work from there. Since this one had some etching into her tail, I carefully etched that, baked it a second time (5 min), then sanded it and filled in holes. I baked it one final time and sanded.
I made a base for the mane so it would be removeable from her head, then baked that for five minutes. I did the top half of her mane first, etching in the lines. I added the lower half and baked that. I did more sanding, fixing of the lower mane (had to snap that part off and try again) and bake it one last time. After some sanding, it was ready for paint. owo
