I started on a Hush Buffy...but I am no where near done...I was also trying to finish my Becoming Buffy...I am almost through painting her...but i need to get to sleep. Oh well. there is always next month and I am sort of excited about that challenge! Everyone did such great work with this one. I am glad to see that the challenge idea has taken off this time (as opposed to my fizzled attempts).

Great last minute work, everyone!
I'll leave this thread unlocked until I go to bed tonight, so that everyone who is not quite finished gets a chance and people can comment on the new work.

Buffyfanone, I think your buffy bust turned out wonderful! I love the repaint to her dress and face and the pose is spot on. Aly, Great buffy! Beautiful face repaint, very detailed, the hair sculpt looks a little rough and bulky but I really like the sculpted jacket. Great Job Buffyfanone and Alyrenee!

Thanks...and trust me...its just the uber-closeup that makes the hair look rough and bulky.

I love the Becoming Buffy. The close up looks like a painting, not a photo! Her eyes are gorgeous, and the coat is perfect.

Now that the challenge is wrapping up, I want to comment on all of the Buffys that were posted. Well... I would have done it earlier, but I've been trying to finish mine up... Well, better late than never!
ShondraSu-- Season 1 Promo Buffy
I love the positioning. I really like when customizers buck the trend of doing the standard standing figure. The sculpt of the hair is also great, very close to that distinct S1 hair that I don't see a lot of people do right. That being said, I think there's something wrong in the likeness around the eyes, but that's the only problem I have with it.
ShondraSu-- No Place Like Home Buffy
I love, love, love her scarf-belt. It's so detailed and just gorgeous. The hair is also beautifully detailed. Compared to your other Buffy, the likeness of this one seems a lot closer. I also love how you included Buffy's earrings. It's very rare to see a figure with earrings.
Chosen01-- "The Gift" Sacrifice Buffy
This is definitely one of Buffy's most beautiful moments and you've really captured the essence of the scene. However, her hair seems a bit flat. Next time, I would suggest adding some more shades to her hair and varying up the sculpt of it a bit. It looks a little too straight.
Shivi-- "Storyteller" Fantasy Buffy
I love this scene and I love this figure. The painting on her shirt is so detailed. The little bowl and cereal box are just adorable. I also love her eyes. There's something so intense about them. My only problem is I think she looks a bit thick around the stomach.
Buffyville-- Buffy in Love. Aaah!
This is an iconic shot of Angel/Buffy and you've really captured it. The texture and colour of her shirt is spot on. The sculpt of her hair is also fantastic. Her necklace looks so natural, I almost didn't notice it at first. And Angel makes the perfect accessory *g*.
jsebold87-- Faith, Hope and Trick Buffy
This is an adorable outfit and you've really managed to capture it. The paintjob on the flowers is beautiful. Her hair has a great sculpt to it.
MsBig-- 'Til-Death-Do-Us-Part Buffy & Angel
I think fabrics should be used very sparingly in action figures... That being said, the netting on Buffy works absolutely and completely perfectly. It makes her look so completely elegant. Her expression of love is also very impressive. As for Angel, I love the sculpt of his jacket.
MsBig-- Crush-Suspecting Buffy
The expression and stance completely channels SMG in her "Spike and/or Dawn is doing something fishy" look. The sculpt and paint of her shirt is very dynamic, making her look very real.
MsBig-- Evil-Lint-Bothered Buffy
I cannot say how much I love her camo necklace. It's just perfect. Her hair is beautifully sculpted. While I know you were trying to make her look strong with the positioning of the shoulders, I think it makes her look a little broad, but that's my only little problem with it. Otherwise, it's perfect.
MsBig-- Willow-Welcoming Buffy
I adore this outfit and I'm glad you decided to capture it. The sculpt and painting is great and overdress really has that sheer look to it. The sign that comes with her is just darling.
MsBig-- Love-Counselor Buffy
I love this scene, mostly because I thought Buffy looked so much like her season one self in it. The details on her shirt are excellent. However, I don't know why, since the parts aren't that different than your other Buffys, but the size of her head is bothering me. It just seems a tad too big for her body.
stakey-- "Sanctuary" Buffy
I like the sculpting on her hair, thought I think it's a bit thin (it might just be the position of the figure). The sculpt and pain is incredibly smooth. Also, a very small thing, but I really love her mouth. It really stands out for me, for some reason.
Insanity-- "After Life" Buffy
She's just so sweet and adorable! I love her.
OuijaRick-- Restless Buffy
The name of the game is paint detail and you just won it. I love the cherries on her dress. They're so detailed and don't look too large compared with her body. The ruffles at the bottom of her dress look fantastic.
Illyrobin-- "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" Buffy
She looks so sexy. I like how you've made her coat and shoes look so shiny. I think you need to cut her neck down a bit though. She's looking very long.
Chosen Prophecy-- "Dark Age" Super Step Buffy
She looks so active, which is perfect for the scene. I would comment more, but I can't really see details because of your picture, but she look really good from what I can see.
Buffyfanone-- "Homecoming" Buffy
This is a great and very unique idea for presentation. You really captured it well. She looks great. I know it's the bane of customizers, but her jaw and ear look a bit off. But other than that, just great!
Alyrenee-- Becoming Buffy
She's just lovely. This has always been one of my favourite scenes, Buffy running down the hall to find her friends. The sculpt of her jacket and hair are great. However, I'm not sure about the likeness. When I look at her, I immediately think of Uma Thurman and not SMG. It's the heavy-lidded look of the eyes, I think. But she is absolutely beautiful.
Whew.... That's a lot of Buffys! *collapses*
