Wonderful. Thank you for the help!

I think the biggest challenge with White Witch will be weight: how to sculpt the hair and forearm sleeves while keeping the figure balanced and standing correctly!.

Hey Doc, have you ever tried balloons for sleeves? I did it with my Enchantress and was really happy with the results.

That's a fantastic idea! I'm gonna have to use that sometime!

HectorHall, are you suggesting an un-used ballon as the folds of cloth in a sleeve?

Very interesting idea. I would wonder about the balloon rubber tolerating paint and the rubber deteriorating over long term.

Honestly, I sit down with a picture of what I want and start sculpting very specifically. I have to make an "Earth-D Atom" as a commission (?) and I'm doing this with the Nehru jacket on a DCUC Kid Flash buck.

I try to find a balloon with the right color. I did it with Enchantress about two years ago and I have not seen any deterioration. The method is so simple that I would have no problem getting another balloon if they did. Party City and those types of stores have just about every color you might need.
