I would truly love a Buffy character myself, but I hope you will think hard about it. This is not a legally protected parody, which is the only protection you have. Calling it a similar name doesn't make it parody. This is a likeness of the character and actress. If you even suggest that this character is related to BTVS or to the actress (as you already have by posting in this publically accessible forum BTW), you are basically admitting it was your intent to infringe. Sarah does own her own likeness, but even more important is the company behind Buffy. They are likely to be very protective of a character from a TV show that is heavily marketed towards teenage girls. If renders of your character in less than demure poses (ahem) start showing up on the web and they track them back to a figure you are profiting from, they will have no trouble at all stomping you into the ground with their endless lawyers. If you didn't sell it, compliance with a "cease and desist" would probably (maybe) get you out of it. But making money from their character...well, they love to make examples of people to discourage others from doing the same thing (ask any of the many websites that have been shut down for posting art work, or midi files, or take your pick). I would also like to suggest that everyone consider it this way: Would you put Michael or Victoria up on your site for download? Or would you respect Daz's copyright on those characters? Do you think it would would make a difference to Daz if you were selling them or giving them away? And does it make a difference to you that the character is copyrighted to a movie studio or TV show instead of a software company? If you owned Buffy, would you think it was OK? Just wanted to throw that out there to be sure you chew on it again before you go ahead with whatever you want to do ;) Really, I'm not saying don't do it if you want to..you can do whatever you want to do.
