Well, it's about time I start making my customs, big shout out to everyone's customs that I've browsed over the years (of which I've lost count), you've influenced me and made many light bulbs in my brain. Thank you.


Anyway: Elf Warrior(ess), an amalgamation of many characters, She's a mentor and teacher (kinda like The Boss from MGS3) to these 3 brothers that i've yet to make (sculpting facial hair etc and armor). She's meant to be older but being an Elf, those wrinkles don't really show. I feel like she needs a Rapier, something elegant to wield.

Parts List:
Head: Modified RoC Scarlett (ears, my first sculpt)
Torso: RoC Helix
Upper Arms: RoC Helix (Right one modified with a slab of armor)
Lower Arms: 25th Scarlett
Thighs: RoC Paris Pursuit Baroness
Lower Legs and Knees: RoC Helix (knees had pads modified, pouches on the boots removed)
Sword: RoC Kamakura
Belt: RoC Helix

I'll try and get my customs done on a regular basis as well as participating in the community.

Looks great. My girlfriend has an entire fantasy verse so I'll be challenging her to make something similar.

That's a good way to say it. For some reason this was unexpected. Despite some bondage-esque vibes that come from the Helix sculpt I had also not put 2 and 2 together in terms of seeing its potential in a straight-on fantasy custom.

Nice work.

I'm digging this a lot, and not just because it's a change of pace. It's also very well done.

In fact, it reminds me some of Cap's work, and that's one of the highest compliments I can pay a custom.

Color me impressed as well. Your paint work did a better job of bringing out the detail than Hasbro did. Really superb use of parts. The action shot seals it.

Awesome!

Welcome DrSyn, and she is sooo something I love dearly. That crafted ear is something that to date, we are still trying to get right, which you nailed perfectly.

Tons of ideas now for that Helix outfit. Never, ever, thought to give it the leather and steel treatment for fantasy armor.

Again, awesome.

Excellent job! All the parts work well together and the ear modification is very good. Your paint job is excellent for highlighting all the great details.
