She's based on a character from my web comic, and the only one of the group I have planned that doesn't appear to be fully human. There's a couple of more accessories to make for her, but otherwise she's finished. She's made from a 25th Scarlett, and a lot of Green Stuff. The belts and scabbards are vinyl, the skirt is part of an old T shirt, and the sword and dagger are mostly styrene sheet and tubing, with thread wrapped around the handles. The gauntlet on her arm is made from a piece of 1/4" styrene tubing. The tail is made from wires pulled out of some network cable, shoved into the insulation from a minijack patch cord.

That's a very cool looking custom, almost a Hepzibah feel to her. That had to be a ton of green stuff used! Amazing.

Thanks guys! She's my first Joe custom, and my first attempt at sculpting. Thankfully I'd run across a short tutorial that made sulpting the hair and fur fairly easy. She was deffinitely a learning experience.

Yeah, a lot of Green Stuff. Luckily, the hobby shop I go to carries the larger packages of it. There's also a doll house hinge in her hair, to let it move out of the way easier. It doesn't move a lot, but it still helps with posing her head.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. :)

If anyone wants to see the work in progress shots, they're on this page. I'll eventually be moving her over to her own page, so I can start posting progress on the next kitbash.

Design wise, that's very cool. I think I would have dried brushed on some very light grey to give her more of a fur look rather than white skin but that could just be me.

Actually, she's painted light gray, with a light blue wash in her hair, feathers, and any place I wanted to bring out shadows.

Cool, well done.
She looks like a Thundercat figure and that's twice as nice!

I really like this figure, when I first looked, I didnt' even know it was Scarlett and thought it was some Anime figure as a base, so good job on that. My only tiny critique would be to sculpt on the tank top shirt thingie? I think the painted on look kind of hurts it, but other than that, I love it and doll house hinge, that's an awesome idea!

Her top is sculpted. I think the black paint and bad lighting in my pictures makes it hard to tell. Here's an early shot, when I only had one side done.

Yup. I have three more planned, but they're all normal looking humans. I've already started modding a Duke. I need to redo his hairline, because right now, he looks a little too much like Ronon from Stargate Atlantis. I'm waiting on Marauder's next series to come out, so I can get his weapons.He'll be the only one not based on a character from my comic.
