Valencia Naranja

Valencia is my first custom repainted Hot Toys True Type Female. She is the "Cuban American" version, which I like better than the normal Caucasian version, simply because her skintone allows for many more options of ethnicity for characters. The skintone also brings out the details of the face sculpt more nicely too I think.







For the repaint I simply repainted her eyes a deeper blue, added some smoky charcoal brown and iridescent purple / gold eyeshadow, and painted her lips a deeper red.







Her ensemble as it stands at the moment is a ZC Girls white sports bra, Triad Toys Otaku Panty, and a pair of the best 1/6th stockings I have ever seen made by http://www.smcgcustoms.com. Her heels are from the Hasbro SDCC Exclusive Baroness figure. Her gloved hands are from the HT Sheva Alomar figure.





Enjoy,

Race Bannon

For a while now I've been planning on making a custom of Race Bannon from Johnny Quest. So yesterday I finally got the rest of his outfit and sat down to repaint the head I planned to use. I chose the Hot Toys True Type Special Edition figure. So after a quick repaint of the hair to white and the eyes to blue...











The outfit is a Figuretoy red polo I got off ebay, grey 5.11 Tactical pants by Playhouse, and HT Merrell boots.

Though after finishing the head, I can't tell if I made Race Bannon or Anderson Cooper...lol

Enjoy,

The NEW Gillian...

So, Gillian is pretty much my favorite girl...



She is a Barbie Fashion Fever headsculpt that was shown to me by my friend Corsetkitten about 5 years ago. I never thought she needed anything, just the factory paint apps and overall composition of the head made me fall in love with her.

Though recently I have realized one major problem with her... that her cute yet cartoony looks didn't allow her to be used alongside many other types of dolls with the exception of those of similar style. So I was limited to using my favorite character in photostories that I want to do because of a limited cast that would fit in with her.

So I set out to look for a headsculpt that could work for a "non cartoony" version of Gillian. I needed a head with the same color hair and a similar facial structure. I could easily paint the rest to match.

I recently found that head in the TTL Assassin Girl figure:



So, having my base head found, I simply repainted the eyes brown to match the original Gillian, and of course gave her freckles...







The two Gillians...



This restyle is by no means an abandonment of the the original Gillian, simple allowing me to use my favorite girl in some adventures with a bigger cast. I still have plenty of plans for the classic Gillian.

Stay Tuned & Enjoy,
