A brilliantly executed custom figure Wayne. I agree with Christina about the eyes, but its no big deal. The painting is superb, the pose is stunning. The overall sculpt is jaw dropping. Luv it geezer.
;D

What an amazing figure! She's more like a statue. I love how the coat turned out. The paint job on the hair looks very realistic.
I'm especially impressed by the see-through effect on the blouse. If only DST had gotten it so right on the upcoming Primeval Buffy.
Incredible job, WW. She's just gorgeous.

thanks for the comments everyone, ive updated her eyes a little. ive made them duller, by using as bit of light grey and i added more black to add some shape and more lashes. ive added some red/brown tones to her jacket, you cant really notice them from the photos but the tones are there. i didnt want to make the tones too obvious otherwise they would look too fake! im going to attempt the pin stripes soon again, some of the pics have the flash on and some dont what do you guys think now? wayne

Maybe it's the closeup, but it looked like her left eye is looking left while her right eye is looking straight ahead. Maybe dot in some more iris on the left eye to fix the squint? That's the only thing I'd change. Otherwise I'm very impressed.

I like the eyes better than before. I think the details on the coat are visible especially on the shoulders. Really nice update.

Otherwise I'm very impressed. lol, i think its just the picture, i cant see if by looking at the figure, but what i think it is, theres a smaller amount of space white on the left eye, so ill fix that later, thanks for pointing it out wayne

this is a very unique figure. i am so glad you painted her coat tawny brown instead of the black i initailly thought you were going to do. buffy has worn this type of outfit in an episode. was it when she slay about 8 ish vamps including the one that was bleeding riley for money? season 5?

She looks fierce! I really like the clever execution coupled with the dynamic pose. Teeny, tiny quibble: are you going to do anything with the base? I can't remember the vineyard extremely well, but I'd love to see the base look more Buffy, less Matrix. But she's so awesome, I'm not sure it's a crucial isse. Good luck with those boogery pinstripes!

Hey all ive updated buffy quite a bit, ive added pinstripes to her trousers and the belt buckle. im pleased with everything now, so i dont think ill change anything, im gonna add some things to her base though! as the likeness appears in the pics with the flash are truer to the figure than those without the flash. theres also a pic that shows the see through top in better detail what do you think now? wayne without flash with flash

I love this outfit! I love how you've detailed it, too!!
Her eyes are the only thing that I see as weird with this figure but I have a picky thing for eyes. LOL. That's just a personal thing...

Wow, Wayne, this is gorgeous! The pinstripes look amazing! They have very good thinness and you kept them so straight! I can't figure out how you did that. I couldn't make such straight lines on a figure. Excellent! She looks really elegant! Beautiful figure in such a super cool pose. I love her!
