i have been working on this for a few weeks and its still not completely done but since i haven’t updated in a while .. i thought i’d share my progress with you on my very first custom which just so happens to be a munny. I have no name for her yet and there are some changes i’d like to make to face, to clean up the lines and hide brush strokes but the body is done. it was a lot harder than i thought it would be, painting on vinyl is so completely different from any other material .. in my opinion.

i sanded the surface, primed it with acrylic gesso and sanded again. then painted it with acrylics. the dress is made out of strips of black lace that i glued to the body over a dress design that is actually painted on. the flowers are just card stock that i painted and glued together. the face is a little sloppy, i would like it to look more like vector shapes/lines when its done. i don’t know how well i can achieve that look, but i will try! also if anyone has thoughts on the mouth (whether i should add one or keep it blank as it is) let me know.

does anyone do customs? tips or pictures of your work are very welcome (and needed) here …

“If you take a look at the above picture , let me tell you …. it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it…. Weird”

i really love this movie. it is without a doubt one of my favorite movies ever. john made me watch it and i am so happy he did. i just found out who they guy playing guitar through out the whole film is: seu jorge. he recorded a whole album for the movie, all portuguese language covers of david bowie songs.

so in conclusion, Wes Anderson is a fucking brilliant man. and i really want need a team zissou membership card. if anyone knows how to get one, please let me know!!
