Xena and Gabriella By Shondra

[shondrasu]

hey all,

I created this Xena and Gabriella for the new TVilike Forum's "sweetest sidekick" challenge. One of my favorite sweet sidekick is Gabriella from Xena but since I made her I wanted to make Xena too. I knew it would be a really dramatic change so I took some before pictures. The set is for sale on ebay now. These figures are bigger scale than buffy/angel. I used mostly Sin City ladies to make them.

Shondra, those are bloody awesome! I've not watched a whole lot of Xena, don't think I've seen one full episode, but I am so impressed by these, the sculpting and painting is impeccable! And I am in awe at the parts used. I can't believe you actually managed to use that Gail body for something! And you got it so smooth, looking at the neck and knees, you can't tell that there used to be straps there. I love how the arms fit in with the 7" scale too, I may actually find some use for Fred arms now!

My only question/issue is Xena's feet. They do look like they've been edited on paint/photoshop a little...

thanks! Yep, I was a little impatient and I wanted to make sure I got pictures in time to post. Today was the last day of the challenge. I'm going to go back and finish the painting/sanding to her feet. I had to add more heel to her original Stiletto.

can't wait to see your next creation

They are both amazing ! It's fantastic to see the receipts you used and then the final figure ! You have a lot of imagination ! That's great !!

These are so cool, Shondra!

I'm mad for the Xena. She's just lovely and captures Lucy as Xena at her sexiest. The likeness i fabulous and you did a wonderful job on the eyes especially. Her costume sculpt is sooo cool! LOVE IT!
