How the heck did you draw Whis's insignia on Vegeta that perfectly?
The Kami is looking great! If you own it, Apoxie Clay is easier to make a staff out of than Apoxie Sculpt, so that's what I would recommend. If using Apoxie Sculpt, just mix it and wait at least 30 minutes to save yourself some drooping issues. I'd probably super glue a stick off a sucker (lollipop) to the end of that club just to have something to smash the Apoxie Clay/Sculpt onto, both for structure and for saving $0.25 in material.
Will you be lengthening Kami's skirt? It's a bit short, but that would be so tedious and difficult to do, that I'd skip it. You'd never match the texture.
I don't personally think you should use the white ring around Kami's neck. I think the cape that's already there is plenty.
What's the base figure for Kami again? I don't remember if you told me. I recognize the SHF Piccolo 1.0 arms, I think. But that's all.
I'd definitely recommend you trace a circle the same size as the stickers I sold you on his shirt with a pencil or pen and then sand the texture off that area. You'll have a hard time sticking the sticker on that weaved texture. You could try gluing one of the logos I sold you to it, but I've never tried that, and I'm not sure if super glue shows through the back of the sticker paper or not.

I actually finished the kami!!! lol but youre right the skirt is too long, and i realized i made kami a bit too tall so im gonna shortened his legs, and improve his shoes. its bothering me.
the kami base is from marvel legends Gorr, then the head and the staff is from a piccolo/kami bust.
yeah im actually thinking about gluing the logo in there instead, but i might just end up using a gundam marker?

Ascat you must have me confused for someone else, because I never made a Yemma. The Yemma I own is a resin that came from ebay years ago, and it's a bit small for my preference. I love your custom so much that I already bought the Mr. Fixit figure you used for the body! It's practically the perfect custom! I hope you don't mind that I intend on loosely copying it (with credit, when it is finished). It's such an epic custom that I would love to replace my resin with this much larger Yemma! I already own the WCF head too! I was absolutely thrilled that somebody is selling this body alongside two other options on ebay, so I was able to throw the pic in Photoshop and figure out some stuff. Kingpin is technically the best base belly-wise and hand-wise, but he doesn't look quite right with the head Photoshopped on. I'd rather try to make the Mr. Fixit a bit chubby under his suit jacket instead (if there is any room... and his jacket is flexible). What hands does your Yemma custom have? It doesn't look like you used the Mr. Fixit ones. Did you use Mr. Hyde's right hand? I may have to dig through my fodder and find some other hands that aren't as large as Mr. Fixit's. The price of these BAF parts on ebay are almost as high as the price I paid for the entire figure.

but yeah, no of course I dont mind it all, please by all means please copy it, were all in this to get inspired. im sure you can even improve on this custom.
the hand is from that figure on the left, the mr hyde. i got that hand so he can hold a notebook. All three have the same limbs (same model and everything, just different torsos) I removed that hat from fixit, lol im gonna make a pimp krillin with that hat lol.
yeaaaah glad you got that fixit instead of the kingpin (which was my original plan). lol we gave yemma a buffer look but it looks waaay better. not to mention fixit is a lot more cheaper than kingpin

The bonus that Mr. Fixit is about half the price of Kingpin is a major benefit! It looks like Kingpin has smaller forearms than Mr. Fixit, so I'm unsure if I could swap the hands onto the other arms, so it's probably a good thing that Kingpin arms are such a rip off. Mine should be arriving today! I was trying to find an official pic of Yemma standing up, but Google Image search is only showing what I assume is fanart. So luckily I'm such a digital hoarder. I searched my hard drive and I have a pic of his character design sheet for the DBZ animators to follow. I cleaned up and enlarged the pic a bit. None of these bodies are quite wide enough, but I don't want a Yemma the size of Fat Janemba in my collection anyway, so Mr. Fixit is going to have to suffice!

I still think Fixit is the best body. Cant wait to see yours
If youre feeling ambitious give yours the striped suit version lol
