This is my first full-size Munny! The mini-Munnies in my gallery are all 4" tall, but this guy is 7". :)

He's made of vinyl, and is actually glow in the dark underneath several layers of Gesso, but he doesn't glow anymore. ;) I painted the lines of the tattoos in black acrylic paint, then colored the tattoos with Neopiko Deleter Markers. I wasn't sure how they would work on the vinyl and Gesso, but they came out just like I wanted. I was even able to blend them, as long as I didn't go over one area too much. This Munny took me 13-15 hours to complete. I have another mini-Munny that's just about done, too, but he needs to be glazed first.

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention this. :noes: I used designs and motifs from the photo book, 藍像 らんしょう (Japanese Tattooing: Ranshou), by 須藤 昌人 (Sudou Masato). It's a really brilliant book, and I truly admire all the work that went into it. Convincing a bunch of yakuza to do photoshoots naked is probably no small feet. :worship: You can also find the book here.

Photos by ~Nikkuman, who also built an awesome box in which to take the photos. :heart:

Available for purchase on Etsy.

Very, Very cool. Nice work, but can he still glow in the dark?

He won't glow in the dark due to the layers of Gesso, but he's wicked cool even if he doesn't have glow-n-the-dark skin anymore.

LOL, I know. I guess I didn't make that clear enough in the comment. *changes it*

Nope, it's all covered up by the Gesso. The glow in the dark color is a sickly green, and I didn't want that messing with the colors. Plus, I needed the Gesso to make the markers adhere to the surface.

I loooove Munny's. I actually tried to make something similar once with super sculpey...didn't work out too well though.

Actually, what I've really wanted to get my hands on are some of the blank matryoshka dolls. I think those would be really fun to paint.

Haha, did it cave in or something? Maybe explode in the oven? XD

Ooooh, yeah, the matryoshka dolls would be really interesting to paint. You'd have to figure out how to simplify the details more and more as they get smaller. I bet it would be a great challenge. :)

It didn't explode, but the head did keep falling off. So I guess it was stupid of me to try and make it in two sections.

They sell blank ones on Amazon and some other places...I think I might buy some tonight.

If I could make it look 1/1000 as cool as Audrey Kawasaki's kokeshi doll I'd be in heaven.
