Ohhhhhh that's incredible! I love the way you've added sculpted elements, and the way you've painted it gives it a beautiful textured look. And the design is just damn cool. Truly jealous of your skills. Do you have any tips for someone about to do a custom Munny?
Wow, thanks so much!
A few tips - Wash it first, it's got a coating on it from production that will make it harder for paint or other medium to adhere. Make sure you use something like dish soap, with no moisturizers in it.
I didn't give mine a base coat, but if you're going to, I would say to use the spray style gesso rather than brushing it on.
If you're using acrylic paint, check the translucency. It's easier to use an opaque color than building up a lot of layers of a translucent paint, since the thicker the layering, the more likely it will peel off the vinyl. Most paints have a little icon on them indicating the level of translucency.
If you're using markers, make sure you use a good alcohol based marker. Try to stay away from sharpies!
The vinyl takes pencil nicely so it's easy to mark off areas ahead of time.
