i was on my way home and i stopped by an arts and crafts store.. they had like this fabric that sort of looks like a shag rug so i bought it because it might work perfectly for tricky's hair.

will post my findings when i try it

Today is the first day I've had to paint this little sucker. He's drying now, so I'm gonna give you guys my progress so far before I go back out to finish the guy for the day.

Here I am with my new friend. He's a little racist but we get along okay.

Hey dude, not sure if you've noticed but there's a hole in your ceiling

It's important that you go into this thing without a plan. That way when your finished piece looks like garbage, no one will suspect that you have no idea what you're doing.

I'm in Miami visiting the parents, and their house is being renovated. It's a great setup because I can get paint everywhere and no one gives a damn.

BELOW is my finished layout. He's eventually gonna look like my Cop character from Time Squad.

Maybe if Luis had sent me two heads instead of one, I just might have. I'm just glad I didn't fall into the temptation of turning mine into Blockhead. That big round head is just a little too tempting to slather with yellow paint.

Here is the paint I started with instead, prepped for the first coat around the tunic, helmet, boots, and gloves. Taking pictures of my color ratios helps me to figure out how to duplicate the color if I need to paint with the same color in future sections (duh). Here we have variants of green, white, black, and umber. I added more yellow than this as I mixed. PROGRESS.

And finally a shot of my dude in progress. He's almost totally covered in paint right now, and I've smoother the strokes out since then. More tomorrow, bye! <3

seeing everyone start i suppose i should as well...

excuse me wtf are you doing?

...don't do it!

Lmao Swain, you have a goatee too. Finally im not the only one XD Good to see that youre having a good use of that t-shirt too.

My munny? Oh, well... its been 2 weeks and i still havent done anything to it. Goddamn it. Also need to learn how to mix acrylics. I am so lost.

Wow, that clay looks great, I may do a similar thing with my Munny. Not with a dick though.

I was gonna put the hair after i painted it but fuck it i got impatient.

and heres the back

I know it's late, but I suspect I would be too lazy to do it in real life anyway.
I went with something really simple.

I bought two munnys for myself so I could enter this contest and just finished the first. I kinda dislike the outcome but that's why I bought two, so i could experiment with the first!

I used spray paint and acrylics.

ITT: We post entries after the deadline.

Sorry for double post but i forget to add that I realize my munny is different from the ones that you guys are using (before 10 people point it out) but I had no choice because these were the only type and size they sold at the art store near me. Hopefully the type/size of the Munny doesn't matter but if it does then i'll just keep them and maybe order the correct one offline.

heh, im sure luis will accept it since it is a munny, i hope you didnt look stupid asking for a different type at the shop since the ones luis is using are not munnys but IWZL's completly different. I can see why luis didnt want to create any more confusion but tbh its created more lol :P

pretty sure luis said he wants only one type of munny.

omg haha, see this is where the confusion has now been made lol not all vinyl figs are called munny's and infact the only person to have done a munny is the person i was talking to these are custom IWZL's that eceryone else has been doing. Anyone thats been looking online for a blank munny online is going to get something else.

I doubt anyone else is participating and the whole reason why i told people to not get the actual munny is because its like 25 dollars... which is way out of the budget of this project to supply 20 of those. anyway whatever who cares at this point.

Wow..Just wow

So far so good

I'm on my way to your house with massage oil and some scented candles. I love you.

so are you using the primacolor acrylics to make that so smooth? my paint leaves a ton of streaks everywhere and no matter how many coats i put on it, its still not smooth.

wonder if they sell those paints in sets...

what kind of brush are you using? if youre using thick bristle brushes like the ones made out of horse hair itll streak... those are made for acrylics but for painting like paintings and shit with em... im using watercolor brushes for it... it does ruin the brushes but whatever.

Some colors show streaks more than others also... like black for instance.
The key is being very patient like go one stroke and just wait till its completely dry before you go back to it otherwise youll streak it.

Mine has some brush strokes still.. the camera just hides em.. its not tooo noticeable tho. i did notice the colors arent as glossy as they are on the large 'real' munny.
