I've long since wanted an improved,
new school Harley. Given that the only difference between the old
and new school designs are some sharper angles, a new custom had
to be reasonably spot-on, otherwise it's just a plain old Harley.
Using Hawkgirl as a base, I think I've gotten pretty close.
Hawkgirl's details were sanded or smoothed over, and the Popeye
arms trimmed a bit. The neck tassels are sculpted from Kneadatite.
The ankle parts of the shoes are taken from a Harley figure. I
sliced them from the original figure, then drilled a hole in them,
sliced the back, and wrapped the pieced around Hawkgirl's ankle.
The cuffs are also from a Harley figure, spliced between Hawkgirl's
arms and hands.
The head is also an original Harley, though I filled in the half-closed
eyes and sanded them smooth, allowing me to paint a more wide-eyed
expression.
I'm very pleased with this piece. I'm one step closer to updating
all the new school female designs.
