he looks really cool, but I think his torso and legs are a little too wide which makes him look a little chubby, and his hair need to be a little bigger.
but even with those flaws, your sculpting is great!

He looks sick! The chest looks great even if you think it's a little wide, he is wearing armor after all!

The sculpting and paint job are spot on. Like others have said, Gohan's been hitting the protein in that armor lol

Ha! Thanks guys. One day I'll get to making a more slimmed-down version of him!

I've never done a commission before but I might be up for it (depending on my time...) |

Okay, so these next two figures I've been working on (for ever it seems like..) are a little different from the normal base figure style. For Super Buu and Kid Buu, I first created silicone molds from existing figures (I used a HQ DX Banpresto Super Buu figure and a Hybrid Action Kid Buu figure due to the almost perfect scale). Then I built an aluminum armature as the skeleton for the figures. Then I used liquid latex to create the "skin" cast of the figures. It's basically a stop motion animation style of puppet making with a lot of small tedious details required to get a fully posable figure. I can go more into detail if anyone is interested but for now here are some final pics and some WIPs:  With the exception of his wrist protectors and his hands, the entire skin of the figure is latex (as well as acrylic paint mixed with balloon rubber latex so it won't crack when moved in different positions) |

 The hands are from the same base figure that I used to make my Saiyan Armor Gohan (the Nobi Nobita figure) and I added aluminum tubing to them so they can slide in and out to interchange them. I might make him a little different next time with maybe a removable face with sculpted replacements (angry Buu and serious Buu). |

Wow this is some ambitious work! For your first time working with this material, it is great. I wouldn't enjoy it lol overall, they turned out really cool. Love the balloon latex idea to keep the paint from tearing. I wonder how it will hold up long term.

That's really cool. Makes me wonder how it would look if you mixed the material to be pink, so you wouldn't have to worry about paint problems.
