Suprise! My second custom figure! Now my Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig figures have a trainer now!!!

Remember when I said back on my Serena figure I said I'd be making a figure outta a extra Ash and Serena? Pokemon Serena Custom Accessories Here she is! (Hilda, eh? Is it Touko? Toko? Taco? Yes, I'll just go with Taco. )

It did take a long time (5 months? lol) I tried my best not to make it look too much like I used Tootsie Rolls to make it.

Speaking of Tootsie Rolls, Apoxie Sculpt is very difficult to sculpt with (OMG, the hair...) ; it's like sculpting chewing gum with the smell of corn chips. I've probably mentioned that before, but I figured I need to reiterate it for whatever reason. =\

Paints are all done with a cheap paint set called Simply Acrylic (Neon Pink for the bag, Light Blue for the shorts, and Portrait Pink for the leg color). Not the best to use for figures since acrylic chips off, but if all I'm doing is displaying a figure, it's A-okay for me. Problem is I had to use many coats to get the desired look. There was no-gloss which was perfect for what I needed, and overall... it's freakin' cheap.

Another paint set I use is the Painters markers/pens. These you don't have to use many coats if you shake the pen good enough, and it doesn't chip off like acrylic paints do. Trouble with these is that if you can't find a fine point paint pen, you're outta luck since it's quite difficult to get into small cracks and crevices--UNLESS-- you blot some paint out onto a surface, and use a tooth pick to paint.

The bag I used is the same one I used for Serena, it's an Indiana Jones satchel, but I painted it a little brighter than Serena's bag to make it stand out more. I decided to have Serena keep the magenta-colored one and Taco the brighter pink one, as I feel it suits them both better that way.

Edit: Hat graphic is a sticker decal. I made the sticker with Avery sticker paper, the circle design was made in Photoshop, and I just printed it from there.
