Hey everyone! This is my first Buffy, so please be kind! She's based on Jo Chen's Season 9 Issue 1 (Freefall) cover. I've been wanting to create a Buffy for ages, but with so many done time and time again I have been putting it off. Finally an opportunity came along so here she is... Would love to know what you all think!

Oh my god!!!! This is incredible!! I don't know where to begin. Am amazing choice of scene - I adore that Jo Chen cover. I love the way you've displayed her, really inventive and very creative. The sculpt is freakin amazing, I love her hair blowing in the wind, the way her hand rests on her knee and her kneeling position. The sculpt of her clothing spot on, they really come across as different textures and as for the paint job - awesome. The likeness is perfect. What on earth do they put in the water in Essex to produce such talent, you guys should bottle it - fabulous work!!

Thank you for the kind comments! Buffy is made from: EOD Head, Deluxe Figure Jacket & Arms, Charmed Piper Legs, Xander Boots. The base is made from Drainage pipes, which I think really finishes it off nicely. It looks great on the wall. I'm glad you like it! I'm proud of her.

I love this custom. This is one that really makes me reach for my wallet, because it's just so special.
The base alone makes this a special custom. But her facial expression and life-like pose is what really does it. You and Willowswarlok can really draw realistic looking eyes, probably better than anyother custom maker here. The rest of the painting is good too, but it's the eyes that are briliant.

Sorry, forgot to comment before.
This is fantastic! She looks like she just popped out of the page of the graphic novel. Beautiful!

Brilliant work! Buffy looks great and I love the originality of the base. When display space is limited (talking from first hand experience) those kind of customs are just what collectors need. Awesome and practical. ;D
