I couldn't jsut sit back and watch :iconjin-saotome:,& :iconkylerobinsoncustoms:have all the fun.

This is a custom figure of Eiji Date from the manga Hajime No Ippo, and the anime Fighting Spirit.

I've been working on this for a while.
You can see the early pictures back in my gallery.

I didnt mess with the sculpts for a long time because I was afraid I would mess the hair up. Thing is my brother is making s stop animation with the Ippo figures and a scene called for Date.That was just the thing get me to finish it.

The head was sculpted out of a Super sculpey, grey sculpey mix.

I added the hair with apoxy, and the fast drying time it has always freaks me out.

The is turned out really good. The only problems are; I painted his skin a bit off, I sculpted his head a little bigger than the other figures.

The trunks , and boots I photoshopped black. Althogugh I find my self doing it more ,and more sewing isnt my thing.

THe body is from a Volg Zangief figure. They are the cheapest figures you can find from Fighting Spirit so my brother bought 2 of them for $15.

I sculpted a Ichiro Miyata head, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to post. Looks ok, but I dont know if it looks enough like Miyata.

Thanks!

I wish I was able to explore sculpting some more. It takes a lot more time to get good results than drawing does though.

Thanks! This too me a while to make. I made the head slightly bigger than it 1 mm. too big around.
I wish they would continue the anime so we can see him with his mullet, in his rematch with that Mexican guy who gavehim the scar on his nose. I think his name is Garcia.
