Cool^^ I read up on this, this morning and started a Veruka custom in the black bra from "Wild At Heart". I should have some pictures up tomorrow.

I really can't wait to see the Oz's people come up with!

[Jess]

I can't wait to start on my Oz customs I've been looking forward to this challenge since the beginning. I have a couple ideas of what to make, but I'm not going to say anything yet, hehe... But you can expect at least 3 customs from me.

Good luck everyone

Im off to belarus tonight so my entries wont be in until the end of the month. Hopefully by the time I come back Ill be able to finsih both.
Iv sculpted and got the base colours down of a 'new moon rising' Oz and a 'Phrases' Oz.
Id love to do a Veruca as well but I know I wont have time to do three customs in about 5 days.

[Becky]

This is my entry for this month's challenge. It is Oz as God from Fear Itself. I thought about sculpting the jacket he wears in the later part of the episode, but I didn't want to cover up his shirt and God sticker. So, this is just a repaint. I've been wanting to do this figure ever since I made Joan of Arc Willow a while back. I think they look really good together.

[somethingblue]

Nice handling of the lettering on his shirt and sticker, and I love seeing God and Joan together!

[BuffyFanOne]

I knew someone would make this custom!
He looks really nice.
The lettering is well done and the repaint is smoothe.
The jacket would have been a nice touch but I agree that it would have been a shame to cover up the details on the shirt.
Ace job!
I can't waite to see what people come up with for this contest.
I am planning a Veruca too!

[firerancher]

Hmm...I have some ideas...we'll have to see...

Thanks so much Hadley! I've actually decided to sell them as a set. I'll PM you about them.

[ShondraSu]

Becky, Definitely a great way to start the Oz challenge. Your Oz is awesome! That was the best scene when Oz shows up with the God name tag as his costume. The repaint is very smooth, Great Job!

[Raven]

Oz looks wonderful Becky, great job on the tshirt.

[Becky]

Thanks everybody! Doing the detail work is my favorite part of customizing. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

[Alyrenee]

Oh cool....He looks great Becky!

I have started on a Veruca from the band practice scene (about halfway into the episode) and a shirtless sexed-clawed Oz. This is a fun challenge. I am not sure who else to make? Maybe a fully wolfed out Oz or Veruca would be cool.

[somethingblue]

Think I should leave the goatee sculpted, or just paint it on? He's from Inca Mummy Girl, his first appearance.

[BuffyFanOne]

How many episodes was Veruca in?
I just sat down to start my custom of ehr and I can't even remember what episodes she was in.
I know she was in Wild at Heart. Was that her only episode?
I thought she had at least one more?

[Kenobi]

I think she was in either "The Freshmen" or "Living conditions".
You should find the answers on IMDB

EDIT: I did some IMDBing, and Paige Moss guest starred as Veruca in "Living Conditions", "Beer Bad", and "Wild at Heart"

[BuffyFanOne]

Thanks John!

I have settled on Veruca from Beer Bad and I have begun sculpting her!

Here is how far I have gotten so far.



I thought her hair was done until I realised I made it way too long and a bit too messy
I will have to work on that more tomorrow.
Her outfit is done for all intents and purposes. I just have to add the detail and smoothe it al out.
She is made from A Planet of the Apes Deana face, DLX EOD Buffy torso and arms, and Buffy 2 legs.

I plan on placing her on a lorne stage and giving her a microphone and stand to seductivly grip onto.

Thanks for looking!

[BuffyFanOne]

I have fixed her hair. It is done now. I might smoothe it out a bit but the sculpring is done.
Now I just have to detail her outfit and paint her!

[somethingblue]

I like the way you toned down her hair; the second set of pictures are much more episode accurate. I always see Tara in Daena's face, but looking at her bone structure, I think this may turn out to be a very inspired choice! (I wouldn't have seen it, but she does seem to have Veruca's jawline.) Way to look beyond the obvious! Looking forward to the paint job!
