Well these two customs will be used by me in the spring custom con coming up as my theme is season 4 as I find it doesnt get customised all that often. So Ill post them here as its only a small community forum unlike btvsfigs so I figure itll be okay to post them on here. Also the tara was the swap gift for jess. And the buffy was a commission. Flirtatious-first-touch, tara. 'Where the wild things are' Used-and-abused, Buffy. 'Harsh light of day'. I know msbig has made this custom before from when she is attacking spike so I wanted to show a different pose and moment so I picked the moment when Parker is letting her down easy. She has a sad expression and is awkward fiddling with her bag straps. I painted the eyes a lil too big but naturally the camera has made them look a bit bigger...I like how the sheer effect came out though. The base has two college flyers stuck on to give it a campus type feel.

Stakey, these are beautiful! I love the sheer paint on Buffy's top, and her incredible expressiveness! You have such a different style of painting eyes; it's really refreshing! The eyebrows always add so much mood to a figure's expression, and you always take advantage of the possiblities! I also really like the hair on both of these figures--flowy and soft-looking! Nice work!

Wow, I love these!!! I shouldn't have looked because I was going to be surprised for custom con but I couldn't resist! They are amazing! They both have so much detail in them. I love how you sculpted Tara's hair and outfit. Her eyes are a little too big and take away from her likeness slightly but I still love the way you painted them. I also love the wash on Tara's pants and the design on her shirt.
Now on to buffy! She is my favorite of this set. Lovely! Her pose is cute, I love the way you sculpted her hair and her expression is priceless. Your best custom so far! I love all the little accessories she comes with too! Great Job James!

cheers for the comments guys! gosh...I just look at that photo of tara after not seeing it for a while and her eyes do look a little dodgy. I would take a new picture but jess has kidnapped them off of me. She sent me collection photos so Ill hunt them back down. Thank you!

I love that buffy, her pose is awesome, and the sculpt is nice. her eyes are a little big, but every artist has its own style
