Queen Hippolyta

[lilbrosj66]

CTVT head (with a paint touch-up), body, belt and sandals. Hair, tiara, bracelets and costume by me. I'm thinking I may do a version of her in full-on Amazon battle gear at some point. A little inspiration from comics, the web and Mego's 12" version all lead to this.

That's a home-run IMO--I like the green drape as a nod to the original, and the tiara is great.

Thanks! In referencing images of her on the web, there are SOOOO many different versions/styles. I was really stuck on the clothing. You should see the stuff that got ended up being re-cut, re-sewn, re-draped and then just thrown to the side. I just knew I wanted to reference the classic comic images but I hope I pulled in something from the animated versions and Mego's 12" version as well.

She's great looking.

She looks absolutely amazing. The dress, the hairstyle, the repaint on the eyes... everything looks perfect.

Impressive. How did you do the tiara?

[lilbrosj66]

The tiara is cut from thin cardboard/chipboard (similar to that on the back of a legal pad) with two thin coats of Plasti Dip. The gem is a stick-on you can find at Michael's. The bracelets are made the same way as the tiara but I sewed them with a decorative stitch on my sewing machine first to give them texture.
