Severus Snape

My interpretation of the wonderful Severus  Snape.

 

  Severus, will teach potions, and defence of the  dark arts at Hogwarts, and be a constant thorn in Harry Potter's side.

 

 
 

Please welcome our newest arrival.

Reborn  from the lovely Elias sculpt by Maribel Villanova.

 

 

The photographs of this little sweetheart  don't do him justice, each of my babies are created to be the ultimate in realism.

Many hours of love and dedication have gone into making this baby.

He is a true collector's item.

Once you hold him in your arms you won't want  to put him down.

A must for any Avid Harry Potter fan!

Baby's skin tones have been achieved using  Genesis heat set paints which will not fade or rub off.

Many micro thin layers are used to build a wonderful textured appearance.

There is no paint sat on the vinyl, it is cured so that only pigment remains.

The creases and wrinkles are blushed to perfection.

Baby has veining and capillaries, beneath the skin surface, adding to the true realism of this baby.

There are slight blue undertones where the skin in normally thinner.

Finished with a special mix of my own making I have given this baby textured skin so it is amazing lifelike.

 Baby's little fingers and toenails have been  lightly shaded, lighted tipped, and sealed with artist varnish. There are no  half moons as young babies usually don't have them.

 

 

Baby has a lovely doe suede body made especially for him.

He is filled with soft fibre fill for the cuddle factor and proportionally weighted to lay in your arms just like a real baby.

His limbs have been filled with the finest glass beads, topped with fibre fill and then safely sealed.

His head is weighted and will need support when lifted for the many cuddles that he deserves.

 

 

 

Baby's lips have been realistically tinted and finished with a satin varnish to add just a touch of sheen.

They look amazingly real.

 

Baby has been micro-rooted with top quality mohair from Angela's Nursery. It is directionally rooted using a fine needle to give a perfect head of hair, under magnification.

The colour is a gorgeous baby black.

 

Severus has been given German glass eyes in  deep dark brown.
