Kissing Batman & Catwoman

[Jsebold87]

I was commissioned to make this set by someone who wanted it as their wedding cake topper.

They specified that they wanted the outfits darkened and highlighted like the reference photo they sent, to make it have an outside-at-night kinda vibe.

This was definitely the trickiest project of mine to date. It took me out of my comfort zone a bit, but I really enjoy projects like this, because it helps me grow as a customizer. I really want to start doing a lot more different sorts of poses for my figures, not just the generic standing poses all the time.

I'm still getting caught up on my commissions, so those of you that have orders coming yet, keep an eye out for them, I have a lot of catching up to do.

Batman recipe: POTC Will Turner head, Marvel Legends Iron Fist body, and Matrix Keanu lower jacket. I sanded down part of the neck and torso, and also sanded down his hair. I then sculpted the entire outfit.

Catwoman recipe: Smiling Willow head and Marvel Legends Psylocke body. I sanded down her lower torso and legs. I then sculpted her entire outfit. I made her goggles out of plastic pieces from Lost Shannon's sunglasses.

Sculpt:



Finished:

This is fantastic Jess, great job! They look so perfect, and what a wonderful idea having them as a cake topper, it is giving me ideas for my own wedding

Wow, that's spectacular! Also, Batman's hands seem to be roaming towards the naughty bits, hehe. I especially like the detail on Catwoman's utility belt. I'm sure the lucky couple will be very happy.

i love that batman's going for those naughty bits! my only 2 criticisms...

1) her butt kinda looks like a man's butt
2) not a whole lot of color (coming from the guy who's banner is all grey-scale)

other than those two observations, it looks awesome! great job!

I love how their lips are almost touching. The anticipation of a kiss is there.

that anticipation of a kiss reminds me of a poem, "ode to a grecian urn," by john keates. i remember that from my humanities 2 class in my second year of college. dang i'm old

When you say, dang, you're old, then I feel really old. Like really, really old ...

Love the statues, and I actually like that her butt is a bit boyish - I love myself a little androgynity
