Munny:
An act of self-expression.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few people interested in knowing more about my munny and how she came about… So here’s a short explanation:
A Munny is a blank Decorate/Do-It-Yourself vinyl doll produced by awesome toy company KidRobot. I purchased my Munny at Urban Outfitters, but you can order yours easily at the Munny website or from Ebay.
To view munnies better than mine such as the examples you see above you can go to VinylPulse.com [gallery], or the KidRobot Munny Forums.
My Experience
What he looked like pre-paint. [the one in the background is brent‘s]
First things first, I had to disassemble my munny.
Then I sanded each piece down with sandpaper to make for a better painting surface.
After that I primed it with Gesso, a primer for acrylic painting.
Then, I opened up the handy-dandy coloring book–
Lucky for me I got the one drawn by my favorite artist, Simon Legno!
There are 3 versions, and I was just happy I got the one I wanted.
I then proceeded to draw what I thought would look cute on my munny while the Gesso dried.
Then came the hard part: painting. Apparently I suck at it.
I also hate waiting for paint to dry.
This is the end of Day 1
My Munny out to dry with Brent‘s.
He can actually paint. It makes me mad.
Begin day 2.
What in the world am I going to do with this dismembered mess?
And I still hadn’t decided on a color.
I decided to go ahead and make my girl a watermelon head…
Since her hair color reminded me of a watermelon.
But… once the eyes were put onto the hat, it looked too much like…
Ugly.
So I had to wait for the damn white paint to dry and sand it down to smoothness as much as I could.
In the meantime, I sculpted and began to paint some friends for my gal.
Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil
Kim style.
Penis shroom and vagina plant.
So I finally decided on pink. Looks cute, no?
Add some detailing.
Fix the teeth
Re-assemble
And she’s done!
The back
Anyhow, with all that said… i still haven’t named her.
What’s a good name for my Munny?
