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 …
