Hi guys !

Today I bought 3 sprites on ebay ...
three little ones ... 2 are white (twink) and one is blue (champ)

I will transform them into custom-sprites.

The two white ones will be transformed into Orin and Stormy s sprite.
The blue one will be transformed into a Nite-sprite.

Here is the plan :

Orin :

He needs beard and thick eyebrows.
The stars ontop of the head have to be removed and replaced by yellow orbs.
He also needs his belt,walking stick and gloak

material: cellular rubber,felting,wood

Nite sprite :

He needs a blue nose.
His arms and legs need to be redyed light blue.
His fur needs to be a little darker then the junk-sprites
He also needs his belt and the moony sensors

material: cellular rubber,waterproof colour,airbrush,chalk

Stormy s sprite :

He needs lightning-sharped sensors ...
a cool belt ...
fur needs a stormy-ish colour (?)
I really do not know whether I should redye his arms and legs,nose (?)

material: uncertain

Question at you guys :
Which colour should fur,arms+legs and nose have in your opinion ???

Interesting new set of projects!

As for Stormy's sprite, why not match it to Skydancer's colors? Starlite, though probably unintentional, does match Twink's color theme.

Yes you are right ... but I somehow do not want Stormy s sprite to look similar to Nite-sprite...this would be a little bit boring ... do you know what I mean ?

What about a mixture out of lilac and grey for the fur ... I could rub in chalk gently ... to fix it just a little spray mist of hair lacquer ...

What about that ?
...and the nose ?

I agree with the lilac and gray color scheme. Is it going to be male or female? If male, you could leave the nose red. If female, you could paint it orange to match the other large Sprite dolls. Or you could make it a darker lilac or gray. It's really up to you :)

@ Katy :

It will last some days till I am able to start but that s Ok for me this time cause I am exhausted ! :-)))))))

Yeah ... I will definitely take the mentioned colour scheme !

Hmmm ... I think I will paint the nose in a strong lilac ...

I imagine Stormy s sprite as a boy ... cause this typifies Stormy s boyish and wild side a little bit better ...

It can't go perfectly every time :) Take some time off and try again later. We'll wait :)
