Kidrobot Discussion Boards

I recently bought a Munny off of the Kidrobot website, but I don't know what to do with it! I don't want to ruin it, and make it look like trash, so I need some help. Firsty of all, I was wondering if any of you guys had some ideas. I really like to draw cartoon characters, and make up my own (maybe some cool pics later), so that would be awesome if you could help me out. Also, I have been surfing around these forums trying to get answers to my many questions. My first question would be "What is the best way to customize my Munny? (i.e. medium, materials, supplies, etc.) I found the following information on a previous and similar topic thread and simplified it...

“Munny 101”

1. Wash with warm water and soap
2. Prime the surface of the Munny with Gesso primer.
3. Lightly sketch custom design on Munny body.
4. Paint over designs
5. Go over rough edges with colored paint pens
6. Finish with a clear coating of some kind.

My main concerns are with numbers 5 and 6. What paint pens/markers are the best to use? What brand of clear coating is the most commonly sold at Micheals (the only store closest to me)?

Another question would be what do to with sculptey clay (sp?). I think it would be really neat to add facial features and ears, etc., but how do I go about doing it and painting it?

use sharpie paint markers.
and i dunno about the clear coat.
but how about doing something basic to start of with a cartoon character.
someone out of southpark?

Heh, Cartman would take some major sculpey to make him in proportion. Stan would be the easiest i would imagine (Kyle's hat would need sculpeying as would kenny's hood.)
