Capes!

As mentioned before, many of the Cape Eebil characters will wear capes. The Vinyl/plasticard I bought is quite flexible, so I made a cape for Debbil.

I started by making test capes out of paper. For the first attempts, I kept the collar and cloak as separate pieces, but I made them one piece for the final cut.

The cape is anchored to the Munny by the neck ring. Thus my template was essentially two triangles with a ring between them. Once I had cut the cape out, I folded it across the ring - this left a half-circle that I could then slide into the neck gap from the back. The cape and the hood needed bending up and down to make them sit properly.

Finally, I added some creases to the cloak so that it sits over his trident.

The last thing was to colour one side of the red vinyl black. I decided on red outer, black inner - opposite to Vampy. Pictures below.

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.
