This Scarlett was edging towards coming together together when the recent custom contest was announced. I've had some questions on how she was made. So I thought I'd share them here. Motivation for this Scarlett: MTF parts or HACKS parts alone just didn't cut it for the Scarlett look I wanted, but could they be combined?
The base head is the Penthesilea sculpt from a Boss Fight blank. The shaggy straight bangs needed to go. The original plan was to have no bangs:
This sculpt has a very intense gaze, probably should be painted with sclera showing above the irises to properly capture the intensity in the eyes, but I didn't go that way.
Another big thing to do was combine the MTF T-shirt torso and the HACKS blank abdomen. I wrapped a HACKS blank torso in cellophane, and mashed greenstuff around it. When it dried, I cut the greenstuff in two parts, into a front and back, and carved around the bottom of it until it was a useful guide for cutting the T-shirt torso down. Stuck the Tshirt into this form, and marked where the cuts should be made. I had to insert the HACKS joint into the MTF T-shirt torso that I had cut down so they would fit together, and I like how it came out:
I almost went with full MTF arms, but chose HACKS. In the end, the forearms, upper torso, and lower arms were from MTF, the rest a HACKS blank:
Painted up:
In the end, the no-bangs look wasn't right. MTF bangs to the rescue, sliced very thin and glued in place:
