Sharpies weren't working, as mentioned before. The markers that come with Munnys are ok, but I've since found that they can bleed (which actually turned out OK).
So I was searching for a new non-smudge quick-dry pen in Lawrence's (http://www.lawrence.co.uk/) and found this Pilot offering, which works very well, though this size is not much good for large areas.

Original Vampy design

This is how Vampy will look

More Vampy WIP

Here's Vampy after a little more work. Black acrylic on his hair, jacket and trousers. White acrylic on his shirt and as undercoat for the cummerbund. The cummerbund itself was done with Faber-Castell 'Pitt' markers, which sort of work, but again, don't dry properly. Gold/brown acrylics on the chain/clasp.

New project - Vampy WIP

So, Cape Eebil is my new project for creating a series of custom Munnys (see links).


first marks



Vampy was the first Cape Eebil Munny that I began - my second Munny. He's a Green vinyl original, and at first I worked on him with sharpie markers. Bad Idea. They mark just fine, but the ink doesn't dry properly and handling it leads to smudges. I later covered the black areas of sharpie with black acrylic paint.

On this work in progress shot, I've just marked in his main features.

He's wearing a tux, cape, dress shirt and cummerbund. Smart gold buckles on his shoes too...

Around his neck is a golden clasp and chain to hold on his cape - hold on, where's that? Well, I haven't made it as yet, but it will be made from vinyl/plasticard.
