Hello All
I have been working hard over the last couple of weeks on 5 characters from the wonderful film Fifth Element. I adore this film and generally I have it on over Christmas so more the excuse and it helped me to get through the dramas of my family festivities I will openly admit they are not perfect, none of the new equipment turned up in time but I am secretly pleased from my geekery side. I really would welcome critiques (I think with the use of new tools now my sculpting will become much more smoother along with sand paper). Thanks to Laura for the tip on creating my first skirt

Anyway without further a do, here are the best pics I could take, so a quick snap of them together on the new allotted pony shelf (with two wonderful customs that started the whole thing)

Leelo stop kissing Korben!


Close up of the first - beautiful blue Diva with her wonderful voice:



She was a real challenge on the sculpting front as have not had any real experience and found it delicate work.

Next up - Ruubbby Rhod:



I chose this as it is my favourite outfit of his. As it is mostly a sheer black catsuit, I did add some matching bling to his rear flares to match the roses on his lapels. The hair was a challenge and may fiddle still, made with fleece though did like the texture for the intended purpose.

Korben Dallas:



I decided to sculpt his hair for the manly look lols and left of the bubble jacket to give him some colour.

Leelo Dallas Multi Pass:



I decided to go with clothed Leelo over bandages to try some fun with her coloured clothing. I didnt want her to have pretty locks but the matted dreads she had in the film, they are a little messy. I attempted lashes on her lol.

Last but not least Zorg:



His hair still needs taming and trimming and perhaps adding more to it. Tried to get his persona on this pony and had the longest time getting those stripes done! I glossed the jacket and think it works

Let me know what you think Next plans? remember that Ice Pony, the glitter has arrived so plan to finally finish Izrabeths pony and get it shipped to her now the postage nightmare is over. I also received my DollyHair order and the lushcious locks are stunning, I want to try a full FBR with rehairing with new hair and also try my hand at some intricate work though as to what no idea (any ideas welcome )

Sorry to babble and thank you once again to the wonderful community!

You are doing so awesome for a beginning! Your gonna put us all to shame if you keep up this learning curve! <3

Thank you so much for the kind comment (blushes) I have a long way to go though lol. (Hoping in a couple of years to have my personal touch on each custom :))

They look fantastic and that is a fav movie of mine. Yoi are doing wonderfully and I am enjoying seeing you progress as a customizer! Keep up the good work!

Very neat! I think you did a great job!

Wow great job!

Wow! Those all make great pony interpretations! (Also, is that a Simon's cat I spy in the first photo?)

Thanks so much everyone Catlein it is a Simon's cat! I really love those videos and someone got me the toy this year Have to keep him away from my two actual terrors

Very cute! Love it!

thank you so much *hugs to all*

One thing I do need to ask (not being at all technologically abled). When some post they have almost a collage of photos of the pony (here and DA) can anyone guide me how?

I'm not sure how other people do it..I cheat. I use windows paint shop. I open the pictures, adjust the window itself so the picture is the size I want, then I screen shot it. I then paste it into paint, cut the picture itself by selecting it, then paste it into another open paint file. I reuse the same paint file [with the left over screen shot in it] to do this to each new picture, then put them all together in the other paint file. If that makes any sense lol.

Ah fantastic idea and with a program I can actually use lol - thank you so much

THese look amazing! It is still one of my favorite movies too and I am so glad you chose to the characters that you did! The diva and zorg are two of my favs!

It's also one of my favorite movies (and made me fall in love with Milla <3). Your customs are beyond awesome! They're immediately recognizable and I love how you did everyone's hair.

Wonderful set! I especially love Zorg

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments, I am just thrilled to learn so many others love this film as I do
