I made this custom last year [2016]. I would do some work on her and then put her aside,
since I was learning the customizing process back then, and my job
takes up a lot of my time.
Lady Zora is an
elite warrior maiden, an ancient Paragon being from the ebook tales
of the DSNG Sci Fi Series. She is a powerful clan leader with a
motherly heart, and she is known for her gentleness, which is in
sharp contrast to her incredible brute strength.
I used the 6-inch Marvel Legends Captain Marvel [Carol Danvers] body as the base figure - that's pretty much my fav female base-build, although I use others like Lady Thor and Spider-woman. The
two axes came from that same Captain Marvel's package, for the Odin BAF. Her
large broad sword came from The Hound, a Game of Thrones toy. But I
had to customize the grip and repaint the whole thing.
Her light body-armor, her belt, her gauntlets and her shin-guards were all
sculpted and painted lemon yellow, which resemble a bright gold;
while the blades on both sides of the Axes were customized with
putty and painted with the “old gold” shade from Tamiya paints.
And her cape came from the ML Scarlet Witch toy. Plus I created a
holster for her sword, via a folded piece of cardboard, which was
colored and placed inside her cape and glued in place. And when she
holds her broad sword, she can store one of her axes behind her,
within the cape.
I used Tamiya paints for her whole body, and some slightly bendy procreate putty for her
hair. The reddish gem placed in a gold setting upon her cape was
sculpted and painted with a gloss-red shade.
A cloth cape probably was not the right thing to use in this custom, because I
needed the strong background of a solid cape for holstering her
sword, since the sword was not held by any sheath that was magnetized
to her back. Additionally, I took some pics of Zora without her
plastic cape. Those pics look a bit
plane, but she still has her sensual & strong vibe.
Her voluptuous physique is based on my art style, just search for “DSNG art”, or just browse through this cool blog ;)
Stay tuned for more.
