Added the finishing touches to the piece. Used a calligraphy pen dipped in thinned white acrylic paint to draw in the knee swirls and cape tie strings. Also cleaned up some lines, put a second coat of paint on a few areas and last but not least gave it a matte finishing coat to seal the 4" mini Munny using Krylon's Matte Finishing spray. I've entered this piece in kidrobot's MunnyWorld MegaContest. The contest also has a People's Choice Award category which you can vote by "Liking" it (click on the "Like" button for your favorite mini Munny design) here. Working on another design at the moment for a second entry. I'll be using a familiar medium and technique for my second D.I.Y.: acrylic paints/brush work. Style-wise, I'll be trying something more painterly and realistic this time around. I'll keep you posted.

On a side note, Kazuhiko Ito of Itokin Park fame checked out my blog! He was thankful for the shoutout I gave him awhile back. Can't wait for my Crazy Sparkle Lucha Bear to arrive. As of now, it's sold out.
