Wow, this one scene seems to be very popular in the customizing world. Because this one has been made recently by smiler there's defiantly some differences in style.
The gravestone should be more aged and actually the engraving on the tomb stone shouldn't be that white, perhaps a darker shade of gray and some black outlines. I also would've suggested an open hand like the ones that came with SOTA Charmed series 1 as she's crawling out. The body work is pretty good and the face is fine. The hair has that defying gravity look and is too lumped together for my taste.

She's beautiful, Jess! Love her hair. Its long, dark and a bit messy like Buffy's was at the time. The face painting is simple and beautiful. Great job!

Elee. Please try to respect Jess. Shes a veteran here and has probably made more figures than anyone else on the site! By all means comment but your post comes across as a bit out of order and not constructive at all.. You should know by now with customising that it isnt all black and white. Some things are very difficult to do and you work with what you have sometimes. Jess, i think this is great. Yes the hair could be a bit more drapey and fall with gravity more but other than that, great sculpting and painting  Perhaps the gravestone could use a bit of dry brushing just to bring out the detail. But its a nice addition Good iob! |

But its a nice addition Good iob! Sorry elee I kinda have to agree. I know you wouldn't mean any harm by it but it doesn't sound too great when you compare Jess' work to Smilers. Every customiser on here is different and has their own style Jess, sorry I didn't see this custom before! I think this is a pretty cool custom I think the hair looks fine, it's messy and muddy!  I love how you've got her half in, half out of her grave. You've pulled that off well Wayne made a good point... how many have you made now lol? It must be hundreds!! |

@ willowswarlok: Are you kidding me? It is April 1st and I can understand the irony. But you basically stated the same thing I just did without the extra suggestions. The hair, the gravestone - only mine was simply changing the color tone of the engraving where you stated to dry brush the gravestone. As I stated it was a suggestion to use a certain type of figure hand for the crawling pose. I don't see how the original posting is out of order and non-constructive when I was clearly offering proper feedback from my perspective.
Constructive criticism is not rude when we offer tips to improve one's work to make it better.
@roadie: Sorry roadie if you misread my posting, but I did clearly state "there's defiantly some differences in style" and I agree everyone has their own unique skills at making a custom figure. Beyond that I didn't compare this one to smiler's at all. I didn't even edit my original post if you take another read at it.

Okay guys,... Well IMO the comment wasnt really offending, it was a suggestion, Jess alone is free to add it or not. Some do put more effort in their bases, some not. We have some incredible customizers on here, so we have meassurements on figures... But each one has its unique style and thats fine. I nocited some very blunt/ unnecessary comments back in the past as I have allready said in my pm before. I think I do speak for everyone when saying constructive criticism is very welcome, just do consider your words. Please lets keep this on topic now and not start a fight Thank you |
