First off, bit of a wierd title but I kinda like the poetic ring to it and it fits with the theme of the episode...
Forget-me-not, Buffy.
'I will remember you'
-"I'll never forget...I'll never forget..."
flash:
non-flash:
hair sculpt:
Recipe: Prom buffy/dress sculpted from scratch.
Base/accessories: Plain wooden base and comes with the clock form the beginning and the end of the episode which I sculpted from scratch.
Overall: This custom wasnt really planned, I just had a sudden urge to make a figure and had no clue what to make so I found a prom buffy in my draw and scoured my to do list and decided to make this. She has a serious case of 'bobble head' but it couldnt be helped as this was my only buffy head I had left. And although using the recent DST buffy heads does give the melon head look, they do give you a lot more room to paint eyes and achieve a better likeness which I think I have done here.
I painted her with a tragic look on her face and used watered down silver paint to give the effect of tears. It looks like muddy patches all over her cheeks in the flash photo but in the non flash you can see it does achieve the desired effect and it does so in person.
Im pleased with the dress sculpt as I did it from nothing and think I got a natural looking series of creases along the bottom etc.
Shes up on ebay, feel free to bid:
