Hunger Games
For those of you that don’t know, I work at a restaurant/theatre kind of deal. It’s cool, but this weekend Hunger Games has ruled my life. I haven’t even seen the movie. I did manage to sand down the batman munny before Friday, so I’ll prime it tomorrow and start painting Monday.
Thanks for answering. I'm the same as. Gotta do a lot of guess work on the paint. Worst part is I'm a little too impatient to do extra layers or fine details. Anyway, really admire your stuff.
I find it’s easy to paint layers if I do multiple parts at the same time (arms, then body, then head). That way I’m working on something while the other part is drying. I do the same with sculpting. I’ll do one part while the other is baking or cooling. It helps cut down on time some.
I was wondering if there are any special pens or markers you use for detailing? Or is that just some really good brushwork?
Thanks for the question. I wish I could claim that my painting is solid, but I think it’s the weakest part of my “skills”.
Everything you see me do is acrylic paint done with a variety of brushes. I don’t have any formal training, so I kind of guess which brush does what.
Big thanks! →

About 9 months ago Justin reblogged my Big Daddy munny and interest in my work went from a little bit to a lot in a hurry! Every now and again, he still comments on my work. If you don’t follow him, and you like video games, you should probably slap yourself until you decide to follow him.
After looking at it...
I decided that chin was too long on the Batman munny and I’m going to fix it.
Hey new followers!
Thanks for checking out my work. It’s super humbling and exciting to see so many people get interested in my art.
You won’t typically get weekend updates from me because I am a server at a place called Cinebistro and I work weekends to supplement income. BUT, expect an update tonight!
Hi! Thanks for being so open for questions I have a couple regarding the custom munnys - 1 do you bake the sculpy as you go after each major component is done? with you batman you mentioned in an ironman post he was baking even though he isnt complete? - does the baked sculpy damage at all if continuously rebaked? and 2- how do you get the smooth flat areas so smoooooth? Thanks heaps!
Thanks for asking! I love being able to share with everyone and give some insight into my process.
First, it is completely cool to bake the sculpey over and over. There is probably a certain number of times that is too much, but I certainly haven’t hit that number yet. I like to layer my sculpey so that i can focus on making the details how i want them to be. The only thing I’ve noticed is that the sculpey darkens the more often you bake it.
To get a smooth texture like I do, I use a tool that sculpey actually made. It’s magnetic, so you can change out different tips. It’s pretty much available at any craft store. I also wear gloves when I sculpt so that none of my fingerprints end up on the sculpt. After its all baked, I also sand the sculpey smooth for less imperfections. Sometimes I leave some, though, because they add to the piece.
Hope that answers your questions!
