Questions about Customs

[emarie]

I've praticed making customs but I have never done an advanced custom before. Any help would be welcomed.

1) What's a good color/brand to use for flesh tones? The type I've used is too pale to use on most the customs I have planed.

2) What's a good color/brand to use for blond hair? I kept using darker colors but it always comes out too bright.

3) What are some near naked 6 inch figures I could use? For both male and female. I don't have anything x-rated planned but I need for them to be cover very little so I can sculpt over it the way I need. Both the figures I'm planning of doing need to be bare footed too.

4) I'm looking into different heads but what do you think would be a good Nina head?

You can find a lot of this type of information by following the links in the 'Customizing for Dummies' thread:

In the one I did on painting heads, I mention the make and specific colours I use for flesh and blonde hair.

Anyanka has a good naked torso and legs, when you remove the dress.

Graduation Day Angel is shirtless and barefoot, and Grave Spike is shirtless. Both have injuries that you might have to fill up. Charmed 2 Leo is bare-legged down to his sandals, although the parts may not work together.

Charmed series 2 Leo has tall boots, so he only has bare legs from his just below the knees.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Wedding Anya won't work for this. I have a couple ideas but they both keep on getting nixed. I need to show stomach on both so I was thinking about using a Sin City Shellie for the female one. But then I saw that the Sin City figures are bigger than the Buffy ones. I have another idea but I have to check the sizes again.

Anyanka, rather than wedding Anya, has a modelled belly under her removable rubber dress. (She's also flat-chested without it, so you'd need to rebuild her chest.) The Charmed 2 women have exposed navels, I believe.

Thanks Craig0, that helps a lot!
