hammy mcChum

Hi! Just sharing my latest custom: hammy mcChum. I customized one of kidrobot's mini figures (the rooz) into a great white, using real sharks teeth. He was kind of my test subject, and I'm in love with his outcome, so this is just the first of many. Those teeth are really sharp!

Kultur

This is a munny collage that I have been working on for the last week. I got the idea for this project from class, his name is Kultur which means culture in German.

Munny munth!

 hey, those who are familiar with kidrobot, last month was "munny munth" which meant huge contest for customizers around the world.  customize a munny and win major prizes.  i submitted two entries to the contest, garth the snail (with banjo the frog), and mr. grubtini the armadillo. i'm pretty excited about them and wanted to share.  if you have minute, please go on to the website and "like" my Garth (by Kasey Tararuj); he's easy to find on the first page:  munny munth contest!  and enjoy the other entries.  (also, right next to mine, a "like" for my boyfriend's blue Krampus by Tim Roselle would be appreciated).  voting ends 7/14!

feel free to take a look at a bunch more pictures of my Snail and Armadillo here on my blog, with detailed views and process photos. 

thanks!

WALLACE & Boy Tree Thinker

This is WALLACE he’s a16-inch Qee. I used Montana spray paint and soft body liquitex acrylic paint for the hands and face. The body has been painted with black board paint with color chalk on top. So he is basically a black board that you can draw and redraw on him as much as you like.

So this is the munny I have been working on for the last few weeks. I got the idea for this project a few semesters back but never really had the time to do it until this summer. That plant that you see on top is a bonsai tree, which I picked up in a shop at my local china town for about $4.50. I am thinking what I might do next with this munny is to plant seeds in it and just let roots, flowers and what not grew out and over take the munny.

My first attempt at a Munny

Be gentle!

Land Shark and Warlock Munnys

This first Munny was one I bought on eBay super cheap because someone had already done a crappy job customizing it. I stripped off all the paint, and decided to make it my experimental Munny. I had never tried sculpting components or cutting the vinyl before. I found cutting it to be a little difficult w/ an Xacto, so I made a V shaped cut w/ a coping saw, and was able to cut the teeth the rest of the way w/ an Xacto knife (of course I sliced my finger open in the process). For the fins I used Sculpey, and rolled if into a flat sheet to keep the thickness consistent. I attached the dried pieces w/ a hot glue gun. I sprayed the mouth black, then stuffed paper towels in there once it dried before doing the rest. Overall it came out much cooler than I expected, so I may be sculpting more.
This Munny is a blank glow in the dark Munny. I decided I wanted to paint him based on the old New Mutants character Warlock. The character was made out of living circuitry, so I used a lot of circles and square shapes. I used a similar technique I used on another Munny I did a while back, where I masked out the designs in tape before spraying the whole thing black. I wish i could take a good pic of it glowing, but you can imagine how cool it looks.

This was my first time working w/ the full sized Munnys, and I noticed that the sculpt is different from the Mini Munnys slightly (aside from the scale). I got a ton of blank ones for Christmas, but I want to finish up my piece for the Joker show first.

another custom Munny

This week I made another custom Munny. I picked up a blue one this time. I had an idea to make a stencil with the blue painter's tape, and make a pattern that would knock out of the color. I went with a simple diamond pattern, and sprayed a flat black over it. The 2 pictures below show it in the process of being done. I made the diamond into a stencil so that the diamonds would be the same and I wouldn't have to freehand it. I taped off the pegs so that the joints wouldn't get screwed up by the paint; I also put tissue in the holes.

I've got another blank vinyl toy coming in the mail, so that'll be my next project...
