Thanks ianthegamer! Glad you like.

smithy24, this was my first attempt at customizing munny and first ever working with acrylics (spray & brush on). I've been lurking the forum, picking up as much info as I could, for a year or so. Was that cheating? Thanks for the complements.

Hi,
Well if this is your first attempt i cannot wait for more. And as for your lurking presence over the past year, well to me it's just being cunning and ingenious
Thanks,
Smithy24

:) well, I guarantee you, it took courage putting to use all I'd read.

I've got an unopened Foomi and some off-brand ponies, but I've got some job hunting to do before I touch 'em. I'm with you though, I want to see what I can do next too! Doing two in a little over a week was intense, fun, and addicting. Thanks for the support.

Hey good stuff :) I actually saw you "Bellebot" on display at the Kidrobot store. It looks really good in person. I also had a few pieces on display there. The green one, the old guy with the bloody eyes and stitches and the bluish grey Foomi were all mine :)
Keep up the good work.

Nice clean work. Could do with a bit less gloss, perhaps that's the lighting? Welcome to the boards, hope to see more of your work soon. :)

Thank you. I'm working on some paintings and concepts for new toys :D
Matte isn't as matte as I thought it'd be.
:prayer: Do you suggest any sealant brands that works in humid & hot temps?

I'm blown away by the Bellebot! The first two attempts seemed pretty competent fare, but on the third, ya seemed to find your style, get creative, and got a whole buncha little details going on there. Can't wait to see what's coming up next, yeah I'm sure there's a next, way too much talent ya got showing to drop out now. Anyway, good luck!

I use Liquitex Matte Finisher or even something like Mod Podge but it tends to dull the colours down a bit. Key is to use thin layers and allow a good amount of drying time in between. Good luck!
