    Customizing Time?

    This is a two part question.....

    I was just wondering what is the average amount of time you put into making a custom and what have you found to be your most difficult part of customizing?

    Time? All over the place: from a couple of hours up to years.
    Most difficult? Painting the eyes, still haven't totally mastered that skill.
    Sewing is #2 on the list. I can sew tho, just don't like it very much

      Hmmm, I didn't mentioning sculpting since I don't even know how to sculpt.

        If I have everything ready to go, about 2 weeks for me on average. Sewing with black thread on black material is the hardest part for me.

          Time depends on the figure. Hardest part is finding somebody to buy one of my customs.

                  Time is the biggest disadvantage for me.I've done some in hours and some I've been working on for years.Depends on the extent of your custom and accessories.

                  The worst part for me is clothing patterns!!!
                  When ever I print them out they are never the right size!!!
                  Too big or too small.I need somebody to print them out for me and mail the papers...LOL
                  Sewing is easy and so is painting.
                  I leave the sculpting to the experts.

                    Hmmmm....

                    Mine are all over the place, and the complexity doesn't seem to factor in. Average time is about 10 hours per; not counting curing times for stuff like paint and molds. I've usually got a few going at once; and the head is BY FAR the toughest part.

                    Funny thing; I'm working on a character that needs this....
