Buffy chosen

[Willow'sTheNewBlack™]

Right so I have my custom buffy chosen and my dst buffy chosen and I dno how I could combine them so I have 1 buffy chosen and also to improve the custom



That's the custom tell me what I could improve on and How I could combine the two and save parts please that would be great

Wow, another custom redo...
She isnt THAT bad, the scultping on her jacket is just sloppy, her neck is too long, and Willows hips are to broad as that they could work on Buffy. I also dont really like the Dark Witch Willow Arms on that Willow Season 5 body, since she hasnt shoulders you can only place those arms in a very strange and unnatural looking pose. You could pin those on the body and sculpt some broader shoulders, but I dont think youre that advanced at all.

The DST Chosen Buffy Figure isnt bad, but her legs sucks IMO. They are too thin, too short, and the jeans doesnt even have creases. I would suggest using the Chosen Buffy head and upper body, and get some different legs. Maybe. Msbig and me were using Heroes Nikki legs, and those worked great. Also think that she used a Twilight Bella figure. Not only that those have an almost perfect size, those pants are incredibly detailed and will look great with some washes of blue and white. Optional you could ethendy her lacetop to have a nice blending between upper and lower body, but since the upper body allready has a bit of a deepening it might not be necessary at all.

Yeh another re-do lol her legs are to manly for buffy

Hmm I'll have to see how Bella's legs look I have the twilight bella not new moon

Thanks for the hint I'll have to add some detail to the top

So ill use chosen buffy upper figure and twilight bella legs won't she look to big ??

Check out Msbig's Hold the line Buffy, this one was made using a Chosen Buffy upper body, and a Bella legs. Worked out perfectly.

Also check out the amazing creases on her jeans, so perfect and real-looking!

Msbig also used Buffys head on a Heroes Nikki body, worked out too since the head is in scale, its just the body that sucks.

Smiler used a Kill Bill Ellen Driver Figure on mine. If you would use more qualitative parts (Neca, McFarlane, ect...) your Buffy could look like this :

Omg I can't make that lol msbig smiler and others are way better than Me I can't do something like that aha

Saying something like that is never going to get you anywhere. MsBig and Smiler didn't just become awesome customizers overnight. With a little time, effort, and practice...it goes a long way.

That is true the thing that let's me down is the bleeding of paints and clay breaks away when I wet it so I need to learn thanks guys

Theres 2 ways to create a good looking custom. Rather youre super skilled when it comes to sculpting, or you try to find the best fitting parts. You dont have any preasure since you create those figures for yourself. Will take you longer to save the money for parts, but the result will be worth it, and you wouldnt have to redo those customs again and again.

I only re-do them because I realise I'm not happy with it as you say I creat them for my self I know I do but I want to make them so I can sell them if I really wanted to but my figures are up to everyone's standards I even started to smooth over joints

[ba|1]

Well, standart if a thing of definition. I dont think you are "standart" yet. After my definition standart is doing body studies. Proportions, poses, parts, neck length ect. Those are the basics IMO. If you got that skeleton done then you can start sculpting, and try to perfect that. Just then.

Look at your Chosen Buffy for example, Im not sure about the neck since she has a very wide V neck cleavage it could probably work... But still would have suggested to boil her head for 3-4 minutes so her hair gets soft and you can mount the head even lower.

Where are her shoulders? Blazers usually have shoulder pats, check out your Dark Witch Willow figure, notice how pointy her shoulders are?
Collar is too far down, also has no detail. You could have used a cutter and cut a little triangle out.

Hips could have used some sanding, and the shoes need some shaping too. I did this on a photoeditor, took me 5 minutes, but you get the idea.

I think you might be ready to produce a quality custom one you do realise those steps.

That's a lot better I may have to do that it looks amazing
