Post-A-Pic Of Your Favourite Custom!

[Secret Scoobie]

Hey Guys,

Post-A-Pic of you favourite custom that you own or that you've made and tell us why!

[Hope there isn't a thread like this already. Delete this if there is!]

I havent actually made a custom for an aggeee, but looking back on my website (which needs updating but Im have chronic laziness) I think I was really good with Fred's...so one of my favs custom I made would be my Billy Fred.
Fairly simple recipe but with a successful repaint I think it works really well and is something DST were complete and utter morons to pass up on. ('the price' fred...really...wtf??)



and from Buffy... I think some of my other figures are better than this one but for some reason I found it especially hard to part with this Faith...to me this custom ended up coming across as an essence of Faith in a way with her typical season 3 hair and outfit and tortured expression.lol.



EDIT

just found a photo of The Gift buffy I made which I completely forgot about which Id put down as my best buffy figure. Again fairly simple looking but Im really proud of her.




Sorry it was too hard to pick one. lol

I've actually got a few favs in my collection...

The Gift Buffy by willowswarlok

This one is my absolute favorite, mostly due to how realistic Buffy looks. The sculpting and detail of the piece is top-notch.

Halloween Buffy by MsBig

I chose this one for the amount of detail that was put into Buffy's hair and dress, along with the beautiful paintjob.

Living-in-the-Walls Buffy & Joyce by MsBig

Even though I don't actually have this piece yet (just seen pics from the customizer), I already love this custom because of the base. It's so creative!

[Jsebold87]

I'll just do customs that I've made for the time being.

I have several favorites. I've made so many customs over the years, it's hard to pick just one.

Charmed "A Knight to Remember" Evil Enchantress Paige



I'm not sure what it is about this figure that I like so much, but it just seems to pop.

Twilight Rosalie



I spent ages sculpting the jacket on this one. I'm glad I took the time to get it done right, because she turned out great. I'm especially happy with the likeness.

Twilight Alice



I was dreading making this one a little bit. Even though I love the character, I was afraid I'd mess it up. I took a lot of time making it, so as not to screw it up. After the sculpt was finished though, the painting came easily.

"Hush" Buffy



This one I really love. I never keep any customs I make for myself, but I was really tempted to keep this one. There was just something about the face and the hair that I love.

"Into the Woods" Buffy



This one I chose because I really love the browns in the outfit. They really look realistic. I also really like how her face turned out.

"Once More With Feeling" Willow & Tara



This is another one that took ages to complete. I worked on this set off and on for about a month and a half. What took so long was to get their skirts just right so they could sit properly. I also went through many incarnations of chairs for them. Finally I just gave them a bench to sit on, since separate chairs just weren't working (I couldn't get them to sit close enough to hold hands). All the work definitely paid off. It was challenging, but I do enjoy them.

"Shells" Illyria



This one involved the most sculpting I had ever done on a figure at the time. It was insanely hard to get everything posed just right and keep it that way while sculpting it. Painting it was a lot easier, but sculpting it was a bit of a nightmare. I love how she turned out though. I didn't want to make her just standing, I wanted to have movement in the figure, so I chose this pose.

Kind of a lot, I know, but I've made over 600 customs, and it's really hard to narrow down to just one or two favorites.

[itmustbebunnies418]

I haven't made too many customs, but I do have a couple favorites.

I'm very proud of my "Never Leave Me" First Evil Buffy & Uber Vamp set. A lot of work was put into this and I loved how it came out as a whole. It was the one piece where I felt my work went from one level to another, if that makes sense, lol. It's fun looking back at older pieces to see how far you've come.

Recently, I think my best work, and the ones I'm most proud of are my Alice from Twilight and Anya from the "Selfless" set I just finished.

[Secret Scoobie]

OMJ! They are all a.may.zing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stakey - I love yours, especially the Fred, something about it. Beautiful.

Sunnydale, of course your Gift is...just STUNNING. And I can see why you like the Halloween - SO MUCH INTRICACIES... wow.

Jess, you KNOW I love yours! Can't wait to see mine
They are all brilliant. And the Twilight Alice is beautiful and a magnificant likeness!

Itmustbebunnies, I pm'd you so you know I think yours are fantastic! They definately are some of your best work.

And it's so interesting to compare yours and Jess's Alices, considering you chose the same outfit. It's amazing to see how you've both captured her in such different but lovely ways. Itmustbebunnies I particular love the pose, it's very alice! and the detail on the frills. Jess I think the face, hair and stature is just great, and also very ALICE!


Thanks heaps for posting everyone. I LOVE seeing customs. I think I've a new obsession

[stakey]

Looking at all these amazing customs does make me wanna customize again!!

Maybe Ill attempt some Twilight customs seeing as that is the new 'in' thing and itmustbebunnies and jess' twilight figures are so freaking amazing that they give me a new inspiration!!

right, someone wanna post me a load of edwards for free please??

(it was worth a try...)

[Renée]

Oooh they're all amazing!

[Secret Scoobie]

Renee do you have any??

[Mayor Of F♥ckville]

I made this Chosen Buffy because I hated the DST version




I made this Chosen Willow, because DST got the hair alll wrong.



I repainted Chosen Faith because she looked horrible.. she doesn't look amazing here, but it's better than what DST released.




And I made this Nikki Sanders before the Heores figures were released. I had originally planned to do all of the Heroes, but that plan just sorta fell through..

[VampSlayer]

OMG, Jsebold87, your Shells Illyria looks amazing! The stance is wonderful, and the likeness is so... Awesome! Looks just like her! The only thing I can even find a tad bit off, is the hair looks a little poofy, but thats it! It looks great!

[Secret Scoobie]

Shivi made this and sunnydale sold it to me. It's beautiful!



I didn't realise exactly HOW mini they were, it's smaller than my thumb! and SOOO much detail!

LOVE!

[Wyndam]

Haha! That looks so awesome. She looks like a Powerpuff Girl. ;D

[Secret Scoobie]

Yeah I know! I adore them

I have 5 customs coming from Jsebold soon... so EXCITED!
And I think I'll try my hand at making minis. Ordered some sculpey today. We don't have the right stuff in any of our craft stores around me, so I've ordered from US

[Greer]

Awe Jess those minis are so precious! I really like your Illyria one, she's like the blue powderpuff girl! I've checked out Shivi's website and her Faith from This Year's Girl is so awesome! I really love it:)

[Secret Scoobie]

I know, they are insane! Yeah I like that one too!

And the waiting in the wings Fred So adorable!

[VampSlayer]

Omg, the mini Illyria looks so cute, and amazing! I love her! *wants one*

[VampSlayer]
