Wizard-shopkeeper, Giles.

Heres my wizard-shopkeeper, Giles from season 5.

-'No place like home'

BEFORE:



SCULPT:



FINISHED:




CLOSE UP of cloak sculpt:



After making roughly 50ish customs...IV decided to be more ambitious with my figures and sculpt all the clothes etc and go for harder ideas. I know they are nothing compared to the masterful double customs msbig creates but for my standard this has been a challenge...but a fun challenge!
Giles isnt customised enough so I decided to make one of him from one of his funniest moments...and the fact DST didnt make this figure is an outrage.

But as you can see I sculpt all the cloak and sleeves etc...and the hat was actually make form paper...with I rolled/cut/folded into a point, covered with maskign tape and filled with sculpey so its hard. The maskign tape really helped in achieving some natural creases in the hat that I didnt have to sculpt and in person it is very effective.

comments and critiques very helpful.

This custom is awesome James Probably the best Wizard Giles I've ever seen! Awesome use of parts and even better sculpting! Paint job isn't bad looking either

The only issue I have is the painted nostrils, but that's incredibly minor, hehe. Overall, great work

EDIT: Really not important, but just curious, why a wooden floor and not the Anya base?

I have no anya bases left!lol.

cheers for the comment.
