This is a custom Damian Wayne action figure. Since I do a lot of Arkham style customs I made this one to fit in with that series. The size he is (5.5 inches) makes him perfect height for a 10-14 year old as he is portrayed in the Comics.
This one took me a long time to make. I had to custom sculpt the gauntlets which turned out to be a serious task, cut the cape, added to the mask and made the collar. the head is loose, but adjustable. The cape can be removed as well, there is a slit in the back of the cape to make this possible, I tried to make sure it was not noticeable.I did my best to make sure paint didn't rub off, but there is a little paint rub off at the shoulders.
The challenge with sculpting banded gauntlets isn't that you sculpt them, but that you use sanding to shape them, which you didn't do. The small bladed fins on the gloves should be fabricated from cutting up plastic. Sculpted parts should ALWAYS be sanded, or you're only doing half the job and making it harder on yourself.
90% of molded toy or statue products are only rough sculpted. They actually carve the details from finished wax. Since you wouldn't use wax on a custom figure, the counterpart to that procedure is to sand the finished clays.
Use those tips next time and it won't be as tough. Learn about different sandpaper types and what order to use them.
Thanks for the information. I will definitely use that information next time. Have several customs I am working on and Sanding seems to be the finisher I have not used yet. Thank you, Thank you for the comment.
