Description While making the Silver Chao, I couldn't help but make this little girl too. Call them what you want, Silver and Blaze just go well together in my opinion.

When coming up with her look, I was inspired by another Deviant's drawing of a Blaze Chao. This was the image that inspired me for this little girl's look: [link]

Despite there not being any 3" tall Blaze figures from Jazwares (not until August or so) I went ahead and modeled the little chao to look curious, which is how Blaze is when she finds new people or new environments. She may come across very stand-off-ish at first, but she's curious to explore and learn, like any cat. ^_^

I also made Blaze's golden necklace/collar to go with this chao. It is made of 19 of the smallest gold colored glass beads I could find on a strand of memory wire. There are 3-sizes to the beads, so that it would taper like the Real Blaze's necklace/collar does. There is also a small glass bead implanted in the chao's forehead to match Blaze's own "royal jewel" on her forehead.

For the color scheme, I painted her with her standard lavender/purple color with dark purple tips on the "ponytail", toes and tail tip. I made her chao wings crimson like her hair tie to give the figure more color diversity.
Like Silver, her eyes, and flaming doo-hickey are painted with glow in the dark paint. Her eyes do glow brightly in the dark, but the flame over her head is a bit dim and needs longer exposure to light to get a good glow on. I used 2-different kinds of glow paint for the eyes and flame.
I'll try to get a good picture of her in the dark submitted soon to show what she looks like.

All my chao are hand made, hand painted, and glazed with a matte finish on the bodies and a gloss for the eyes.
The figure is is to scale of the 3-inch sonic figures that you can get from ToysRUS, and stand about 1 inch tall. With the little hovering doo-hickies, it makes them about 1.5 inches tall.
I do plan to sell this gal when I set up a store on Etsy. I'll keep my viewers posted.

This is definitely one of those things you need to take a good hard look at before you decide just how good it is. The size is nice and fairly detailed considering that. Colors match the corresponding hero and are clear in their borders to line each body part, as well as don't muddle together or go off out of a line.

The flame orb for the Chao could use some color difference, but I also acknowledge and understand that any Chao orb is generally only a single color. However given that it is a flame, you could probably get away with doing a mixture to represent a better fire.

The expression really brings the piece out the most though and I'm heavily eager to see more of these works. I would only add to maybe try and find something better to use to get the Chao Orb to hang in place, so that it stands out less that it is being held in place and maybe give more immersion to that it should be floating. Again, I can't help you there.

These one's specifically? Or are you looking to commission a chao?

I have that feeling this is a "buy one, buy them all" thing. I'd be heavily interested in seeing if you do uh request type one, but I'd settle for knowing how much that Knux one you did awhile ago or the Blaze one would cost.

I was planning on selling the chao individually for about $5 a chao. I don't want to package them, that would not be fair to others who want one. Blaze and Silver will probably sell for $6 each since they required more "Special" paints and Blaze has her beaded necklace.

I guess the more detail and materials required will add to the costs of the chao, especially for the customized commissioned ones.
One like Blasphemy will probably be the most expensive of the chao because of all the time and detail that goes into the little thing. These tiny critters have lots of possibilites, but not alot of space to work with. ^_^

True that... and I loved that Blasphemy one... oh gods he was awesome XD

Hmmm... those are totally fair prices I'm willing to pay for. Now to make some money so I can splurge on things I don't need but want.

Blaze is definately a great character from Rush, but I also love her depiction in Archie (Omega has a crush on her lol)

Great job on this ^^
