Munny-Munny-Munny-Munny.....MUNNAY!!

When creating some "art project" i normally don't document it, as in a series of photographs from start to finish. Most of the times, its a good thing, but on some rare occasions i step pack from a painting or digital art piece and say..."well shit that would have been nice."

I purchased a "Munny" for my wife a few weeks back, but haven't gotten myself to paint it, until this weekend.

Nice clean Munny to start off with!


I started sketching out some simple ideas on a template.

When satisfied there i sketched on the Munny itself.


Since my idea involved a few items i couldn't draw on to the Munny, i got the necessary tools from my garage.


A few holes later....


....tada!

Now here is where, and probably why i don't do "tutorials" or "step-by-steps" I get caught up in my project to the point if forget I'm supposed to be documenting it as well, i guess next time I'll set up a video camera and set it to record instead.
Here she is, painted, drilled, buffed, outlined, and glossed....I promise i'll take those pictures next time, enjoy!

quikie

I'm not much of a painter, as to say I dont really practice the medium much, but last night i had an idea, plus i had the paints, so...i painted.

Now bear with me, as i explain the process, or lack there of.
I created two paintings, i failed to take a picture of first one of,t ...sort of..read on.

Here is the final (second) painting
(keep in mind i was going for speed, and not the "finished" product here to see if my image worked out)

wow! a dragon, big woop...i agree, but then...

The first painting is what i painted over, not very impressive, especially since i didnt prep the canvas so the colors wouldnt bleed, or blend colors that well in each scene, but at least my test went through!!


All in all i think the test was a success to a degree, i can recreate two diffrent images, use diffrent shapes and surprise myself with the details!
