Poison Ivy

Character:
Poison Ivy, as seen after the redesign on Batman: the Animated Series.

Construction:
Mostly based on recipe from Inanimate Objects: Hawkgirl base, Animated Witchblade head. She has sculpted hair, glove- and boot-tops. My Ivy also has her dress made out of glue-stiffened nylon, which takes away from the animated look, but lets it lie flat over her hip joints without gumming them up. I'm not thrilled with the way her hair came out, but it was my first time working with Magic Sculpt.
I also experimented with the paint to try and capture the strong highlighting seen in the animation, and I like the way that turned out. Completed 2006

  2. Thanks for your comment! There's actually not a whole lot of sculpting in her except for the hair and outfit, she's based on parts from two other figures. If you ever decide you want to try your hand at customizing, I recommend checking out Inanimate Objects at http://www.pilliod.net/main.htm for advice and inspiration.
