So my first version was... alright. I loved the body, but was never sold on the head. I was asked to do a more comic than real take for the face, and I just wasn't in my comfort zone. Didn't help that I didn't have the right parts for that kind of look either.
But, luckily, the buyer and I both agreed there had to be a better choice. I got a hook up from some pals at Joecustoms and got a couple old SHS Invisible Woman heads. Some simple paint to match up flesh tones, and here we are. One good thing about waiting for the next head was that I had more time to smooth out the paints and some of the rough spots I didn't get to the first time. For reference, here is a statue of the character: granted, the hair is not dead on. But the buyer is now happy, so I am too. I am looking forward to getting the second head though, and I plan to mess around and see if I can sculpt the hair better and give the buyer a fun surprise later on. Easier to do that with a second head, when there's no risk of destroying the first one.

I like it! My only gripe is that we have so few female bodies to use for customs and are very limited when it comes to arms and legs!

thanks. On this one, the buyer requested that she have pants as a slight variation to the normal look. I could have mocked up the traditional look pretty easy, but I do agree all the 1:18 lines are lacking except for SW and those parts just don't work.
Hoping the new MU x-23 body type doesn't disappoint.

Looks good! I'd really like to see what you do with the hair on the second head.

I like it despite it isn't exactly like the statue. Nice work.

The head is great. Hmmm, if I was the client though I think I'd want an Abbey or just DG in general in the MU body to fit in with Supers, or an Abbey that would fit in with Joes using a Joe body, and at that point only the color pattern would be the same, and that's about it. With the standard MU body you wouldn't need to sculpt--just pop that lovely head on. The Joe version would have more pouches and a bit more gear. DG doesn't use a bunch of gear so it would be minimalistic.
With the MU body I'd go with the J Scott Campbell look, and with a Joe body I'd go with a Nick Bradshaw look. I like Abbey though so you had me there. I think the upper arms are a bit off, the rest looks great, especially your new head. I'm just nitpicking though because I'd be happy to have it.
