This was my third custom Munny. William at Elite Comics has become a good friend, and is Johnson County's only outlet for vinyl toys. He always gives me the hook up, so I decided to return the favor by fashioning this custom after him. I don't like to gloat, but it's a pretty darn good likeness, and gets a huge laugh out of all the regulars at the comic shop. Obviously, William was thrilled with this guy, and he welcomes all visitors as they walk in the door. This one also got entered into a contest, and won. The voting may have been a bit biased, since William hosted the contest. Who am I to turn away the trophy though. The prize for that one is a custom Munny from some comic artist I don't know, but is supposedly a pretty big deal. I hope to have that soon to show off here. Nothing too fancy about production on this guy. The hair and goatee are paper clay. If you haven't used this stuff, you should give it a try. It's an air-drying clay that responds very well to sanding and carving once cured. The watch band was epoxy, and the glasses are hand made from scratch. Once again, the front of the shirt is a water slide decal, another product I highly recommend. This is my fave piece because of it's personal nature.
