This is a custom set from the episode 'Restless' where Buffy meets the 1st Slayer during her dream. Parts used were; 1st slayer - Sin City gail head,texas Chainsaw Erin torso, Sin city Gail legs, Lost Sun feet. I sanded down the legs and torso completely to remove any shreds of clothing and built up the muscle tone on thighs and shoulders with sculpey and then sculpted over all joins and sculpted bandages. I sculpted her neck and parts of hair, other strands were made using thin shreds of plastic from various figure's clothing etc, then painted in acrylics. Buffy- PROM BUFFY head, Lost Sun body, Planet terror arms. I sanded down her chest area and tops of arms and any clothing on figure and then filled all joins with sculpey. I sculpted her hair, dress and made her shoes from various figure accessories that I cut,sanded and glued. Painted in acrylics. Hope you enjoy, please leave any feedback!     |

First Slayer looks great so far, her pose is stunning, the floaty hair is great, love the painting on her, especially love how you have positioned her arms, really looks like shes about to dance around Buffy. Base looks also very promising, cant wait to see more!

Such a gorgeous set! Loves it. I was a bit worried about the Lost body as it always looked stiff IMO, but the poses on BOTH works absolutely brilliant! Love the deails on her dress, LOVE especially the painting on her face, all those shadings adds alot and makes her look even more lifelike! Also great job on the hair, one of the best Restless Buffys Ive ever seen!

 lol. I'm sooo coming to your place and stealing this one! It's a beaut! Sarah, such a great piece on such an amazing scene. I love how you can even move the first slayer around Buffy...that is such a nice touch! I really love your bases the best. Each has such great details! The only thing I have to critique would be the fact it's missing a crucial element....Tara! Would have loved if you added her to the mix!! |

Wow love this set. The first slayer is very fluid, has great movement. The sheer bandages look great. Buffy is one of the best Restless Buffy's I have seen. The only thing lets her down for me is the hairsculpt. Its rather harsh compared to the rest of her delicate body and looks shower-fresh for me, rather heavy and limp. Not silky and light. Hair can make or break a figure in my opinion, so here are some tips, if you want them  You seem to have nailed everything else, so I hope you dont mind. The locks on the top of the head are nicely defined. But I think has it become a bit too much on the bottom of her hair (especially her left side). Not sure what type of tools you use but I usually use a thin metal sculpting tool. Define the locks but then very gentle add detail- which at this scale isn't much. Her right side has great form, I can see you use snakes to sculpt it. I would suggest flattening these ever so slightly next time you put them on, to make them less snake like, and gently blend everything together, just to stop harsh undercuts (which = harsh shadows in the final painted piece) Hair should have some of the wider gaps like your Buffy has on the right side but generally this will be where the hair splits over the shoulders, not the front of the hair. Hope that's helped |

It's just stunning. The detail on Buffy's dress is amazing. You must have worked so hard on this. I've always loved the imagary of those scenes and you've captured it perfectly. This is one of those customs that I really wish was mine. It's astonishing.

Finaly got around to post some snapshots of my both stunning custom sets. First of all I gotta say the pics totally doesnt do those justice, those customs are outstanding. Probably the most beautiful Buffy face paint Ive ever seen.   Also some quick snapshots of my Primeval set wich was posted recently (dont wanna bump both of them threads)   More pics soon at the How do you display your collection thread. |

this still just blows me away. I want this as a PF. as a pair. A PF pair. It's just look incredible. Your first slayer sculpts are always so well executed. Go Sarah!  |
