Whoa! Those are AMAZING! What techniques do you use ?
They're customs, so I start with an existing base (either an actual lead figurine or a resin replica I make myself) and then sculpt all the new details using different clay-like materials like Milliput and Magic Sculp. Some of the figurines in the gallery are scratch-built though. To give you an idea, you can find a comparison picture here http://ciro1984.deviantart.com/art/Black-Alice-Ms-Marvel-comparison-309142004 From store-bought lead figurine, to resin replica made by me using foam moulds, to the final custom.
Oh! :O They look so different! That must be a lot of work!
How long does it take to make one ?
Depending on how complex the character is, it usually takes up to 14 hours to sculpt (working two hours daily for a week) and 4-6 hours to paint.
That's impressive work! Do you have a favourite ?
Thank you :) I really like my Oracle(s), if only because she's my favorite character http://differenzeartistiche.tumblr.com/post/8865919392/oracle-custom-figurine-also-fuck-you-dc-reboot http://differenzeartistiche.tumblr.com/post/52799933040/oracle-from-dcs-donna-troy-last-time-someone
