April 2006 Challenge - Beautiful BuffyThe challenge is to make customs of Buffy herself looking gorgeous, in your eyes. This is the character of Buffy, not photo shoots of SMG. Rules for Customisers1) This challenge is non-competitive. 2) You can state your ideas for what you intend to make. You can post in-progress photos, if you like, as well as finished photos. 3) Remember, this challenge is just to give us some unity during April. You are still encouraged to produce any custom you like that is un-related to this challenge and post it in its own thread. 4) If you post photos of your custom in this challenge thread, please don't also post it in a separate thread. 5) This challenge will last during the month of April only and the thread will be locked on 1st May to make room for the next challenge. Please plan to finish your figure by April 30th. 6) You can use any format of custom in this challenge. It can be Mini, Palz, 6", 12" or bust. Rules for Non-CustomisersEveryone encouraged to comment on the works shown here. You can chat about what you think is beautiful about Buffy. You can make suggestions. This thread is for chatting about the theme, posting photos and sharing ideas but please keep it on topic. GalleryThis is a quick view of completed customs only. Please scroll through the thread for recipes, details, progress photos, multiple angels and reference photos. I'm showing them in the order in which they were completed. We've got some real beauties here already. Great job customisers! ;D ShondraSu - Season 1 Promo BuffyNo Place Like Home BuffyChosen01 - "The Gift" Sacrifice Buffyshivi - "Storyteller" Fantasy Buffybuffyville - Buffy in Love.

I've got my brother's kids staying with me all this week so I won't have any time for customising... not my own stuff anyway! I don't usually announce what I'm intending to make but these challenges encourage that, so here goes: From 10th April, I intend to post several Beautiful Buffies. These are all commissions. - The first will be Buffy in her Wedding Dress from 'The Prom'.
- Another will be her in her pretty top in the bleachers, from the beginning of 'Him'.
- Another, Buffy in her basque, being discombobulated by evil lint, from 'Life Serial'.
I suspect there will be more, depending on how excited my muse gets!

I going to make Buffy from Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, when she's coming on to Xander in her rainmac - very beautiful!
ShondraSu- that's really really good. Love the legs and hand coming out of the ground.
MsB & Stakey can't wait to see yours

Shondra, Great way to start off this challenge! I love that you went with a tough pose!
The hair is my favorite part!!!
I will have mine ready closer to the middle of the month.

Shondra i LOVE the way you've made that figure! its more of a statue actually! the pose and base are both awesome! i love the hand shooting up ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I know the outfit is nothing spectacular, but i always though Buffy looked amazing in the gift, when shes up on the tower with her hair blowing in the wind, then the sunlight hits her face...

Shondrasu I love your ambitious idea and think you pulled it off greatly. Kinda makes me embarassed to post mine as it is just a regular standing figure. Chosen01, its a simple idea but less is more and I love this custom. It has got a great paintjob and like raven said it is a nice soft paintjob. Also the hair sculpt is neat. Maybe next time you could try having it blowing in the wind to challenge yourself?? Heres my first two teaser pictures of the head sculpt. They are in darkness so they didn't come out very well but the ahir suclpt took me a while and was my hardest yet. I should be carrying on with the painting tonight if I can.

Shondra I love your custom It must have been a very tricky pose to get... Her hair is awesome though, I love the highlights. Chosen01, even though it's simple, you captured her outfit very well. Her expression is great for that scene as well. I will be finishing my custom in the next few days. I'm still in the sculpting stage, but hopefully I'll be done with her soon. The only thing I will say is that she's from Season 3. -Jess

Shondra, your Buffy looks amazing; great posing, excellent paintjob and sculpturing (though the hair is slightly off), and an extra-neat base. Chosen01, “The Gift” Buffy is simply astonishing, fantastic customs in all ways (smooth paintjob, excellent sculpturing, and great likeness). And stakey, so far, your Buffy looks great and very promising…can hardly wait to see it done. ;D

Hmm. I may have to sit this one out. Because (a) I'm working over the holidays and won't have much free time till the end of the month and (b) I'm a lot better at monstrous than beautiful. I do have one idea though... ;D I'm looking forward to Sasha's wedding dream Buffy above all. (No pressure...) So far, I really like Shondra's posing, and I think Chosen01's figure really captured the moment.

Shondra: A beautiful sculpt of a classic buffy pose.
Chosen: A very simple, evocative custom, very well done.
Stakey. It's looking good so far. Marvelous hair sculpt.

Chosen01, I love your "gift" buffy. She has simple and sweet repaint/sculpting and great hair! stakey, I can't wait to see your custom finished. Shivi, I love her! I love the effect you did with the pictures. The sculpted hair, face repaint and the design on her top are beautiful. She a little thick around the waist but she an amazing custom. I can't wait to see what else your making for the challenge.

Here is my (First) enrty also- Mini "After Life" Buffy Inspired by Shivi's Mini Collection and DL's Binis She still a work in progress, I need to do a little repainting and make her base. (Sorry for the picture quality, I had to use my phone) ShondraSu- That Is such A cool Custom. It has always been one of my favorite poses and you brought it to life perfectly! Chosen01- I too love Buffy in that moment. It is simple, yet it works really well. Great job! stakey- That is such a tease I’m looking forward to the finished product, since the hair sculpt looks awesome so far. shivi- I really, really like it. Her pose is great, and the paint job and sculpting are done very well. I can’t wait to see more!
