Character:

An original character, Sativa is drug courier for the Dreadnoks. Much like my custom "Pound Player", another drug courier, this custom is built around the codename. Sativa is a marijuana variety, and the word just sounds like a female Dreadok.

Design:

The body was originally going to use a Scarlett chest/back and be a named Cobra in a bodysuit. But rotating in the Zarana chest gave more of a Dreadnok vibe, so the body become Sativa's.

Colors & Paint:

It's hard to disguise the Zarana chest/back, but the skin under the shirt is instead painted as a tight shirt. The gives a bit of difference from Zarana, as does going with jet black hair.

I liked the color design featuring the bubblegum colored hotpants, until I actually put the figure together. Should have gone with something else.

Sculpting & Modifying:

The mohawk was removed and replaced with an angled mop cut. The "missing" parts of Zarana's jacket have been sculpted back in.

The shoulder/elbow rivets and thigh screw insets have been smoothed over with epoxy.

Thanks for looking.
