HOORAH! MUNNY ARRIVED TODAY! Thanks Luis.

It always amazes me when something actually makes it through overseas postage, I'm used to the scum that handle South Africa's post, now I'm in Australia, it's great.

I'll get started tomorrow, got some stuff to do today. One more thing, I notice a lot of you are drawing the front side on what I consider to be the back, that is, the side where the hands are, where the stomach/backside is more pronounced. This may be correct, or it may not matter, but it just doesn't look right to me. Anyways, I'll be making my Munny the other way around, hands on a small gut, with a large backside.

Gotta agree with that. The booty is just smiling into my face on the side where the hands arent.

Also for mine I'll use real hair, real clothes and fill it with real blood, then burn the stomache away and insert a small glass for better view, so you can shake it and have everything moving inside.

Gotta figure the problems out first, then ill start.

Wowee, sounds good.

I've had mine for a couple days now, but now I'm so scared I'm gonna ruin it, I havent tried coloring it yet.
:S
I really need to get started.

Hehe, I know the feeling... I haven't had mine for long, but I feel sorta scared to touch it.

Hey, MiddleFingerRings, you´ve just changed the sentence on your sig... Are you tired of people touching you improperly without permission?. You know, each time I see your sig picture the words "Want chicken?" come to my mind...
Anyway, I´d really like to participate in this post, but the truth is that I can´t... I don´t have any (good) experience on painting figures and my agenda is really messed up... But I´d really like to get some of that figurines in the future and give it a try, seriously. Now that the free giveaway DIY´s have been already sent, I´ll try to send a design just for kicks...
Hey, Dookie, the real reason for me to make this post is to tell you that your dollie seems to be a real eye candy... I want to see it finished, but take your time. Good things are meant to be have some expectation, you know...

Here is my concept for a munny, its not quite finished im still working on the back.

If I actually made it for real my plan would be to do all the color first using acrylics then go over with a super fine black marker thing for the detail, it could get a little challenging in the stomach area but I could always simplify that down a bit.

anyways en.... nnevermind

Well, I just wanted a change, I'm surprised you noticed! I'll change it back if it gives people such a splendid reaction.

i dont really like how i painted it so im just going to start from scratch. im probably going to use the same design but add some more things to it.

my acrylic paint sucks so im going to buy different ones

so when is the due date? I'll problably buy mine tomorrow and get it monday/tuesday minimum, and i need some time to experiment with some modelling clay to get the a hang of it THEN i still need to mail it back to you. argifer

i'll be collecting em the last week of Nov / end of the month.

If you submitted a concept i'll be picking the 5 shortly.

Heres the winners of the complimentary figurines for you to turn your concept into the real thing.
I basically based my decision on how 'doable' the concept actually was... Some of the concepts were great but would be close to impossible to translate into a 3d form.

Also there were a few people who made concepts but stated they had bought/were buying their own so obviously it made no sense to pick those. (renaenae and others)

If you are one of the five below, please PM me your mailing address. I'll be posting pics of the one I'm working on this weekend. K all freebies are gone now anyone else participating, buy your own

"RESTOCKING SOON!"

now by "due on november 28th" do you mean our things have to be at your doorstep by that date, or we send them on the 28th? (or do we post our finished attempts?) how would we know when they will all get to you?

Post your finished product and then PM me to sort out the mailing part of the project.

I'd like for it to be postmarked by Nov 28th

Bah, did not get a complimentary one.

I might be able to purchase one though.

I guess we cleaned em out. Ok well I'm going to give the 5 winnners a week to give me their address if i dont hear from em by Thursday they will forfeit theirs and they will be available first come first serve.
I noticed some of the people who won rarely post.

Heres a simple example of a blank

You dont have to go all out on it sometimes a simple solution is the most satisfying.

By the way if theres any european's who want to buy a Blank without having to buy it from the US.. heres the link to a uk store that carries them.

UK Blank Munny @ £3.95

yeah, but making the paint even and the lines so smooth like that is out-of-mindly hard, unless you have a secret technique of somesort

If you use flat paint it'll come out smooth because the strokes dont show up like they do on a glossy or semigloss finish.

The skin tone of that luis figure i made is strokeless, the clothing has some brush lines on it.

If anyone needs yet another way of scoring a free munny, theres a forum giving one away just for posting in a thread lol

Just leave a reply here

Luis, Do you know if that is a trustworthy site to get the free munny?

Well its a long shot.. they are randomly picking one of the people who posted in that thread that i linked to... they are announcing it on nov 23 or something.. you'd probably miss this ng competition cause you'd run out of time but you dont really have much to lose by posting there. he probably just wants to get his forum going and investing in a 6 dollar doll may be worthwhile. *shrug*

I know what I'm going to do but I'm looking for a way to express it so that it doesn't look like I did it in five minutes. Dilemma; simplicity vs complexity... =\
I've taken to carrying my Munny around with me, let him get an idea of my life before I destroy his innate beauty.

The choices for the Munnies look awesome, I can't wait to see all of them finished. =]

Some of you expected it, some of you predicted it, some of you, (Narf109) dreaded it. The Captain Spaulding Munny is in progress, I'm going to find a nice little top hat for him, and make his beard out of a hair-like material I saw once. Here's a W.I.P, not too bad I guess.

Pros: I finally started coloring it with various pens and markers

Cons: fucking blurry camera wouldn't focus on it I HATE TECHNOLOGY. WHY DOES NOTHING WORK???

using q-tips as a paintbrush was suggested by a friend, and he was right.

use masking of somesort

also i know that forum and some of its members so its pretty trustworthy, you have nothing to loose tho right?

im considering doing something like this where like the mask is removeable.

more sketching
