Hello All,
I am a frequent visitor to these boards but a first time poster. I've admired the work of many of you around here and I gotta say, many of you inspired me to take a shot at customizing. Thus, I present to you guys my first ever attempt at a custom... Nikki Bella!
Now, I worked on this custom for quite some time. I actually painted it twice as I obviously have no idea about the do's and dont's of customizer so a lot of what I did was hit or miss. I decided to customize a Bella twin figure because I have an extra pair lying around and there were no bites in my classifieds thread for them so I figure I'd try something new. My original plan was to customize both Bellas and display them but I found the customizing experience and result not so satisfying. As it stands and is pictured above, I gave up on this custom about a week or two ago and it remains unfinished. This is the reference pic I used for the outfit:
Some minor details are missing as you can see and I also took a couple of liberties with others. I'm very hesitant to handle it because I feel as though the paint rubs off if I do. The 'feel' just throws me off a bit.
I hope you enjoy and appreciate any comments and tips/advice.
