As far as beginner customs go, this one seemed obvious. With the large white dome standard to Munny figures, I deduced that resident video-game badass Kratos would be a good place to start. It wasnt as easy as I thought it would be, though. I went through two iterations of this guy after I initially screwed up his body paint, tried to wipe it off and ended up with a pink-headed Munny on accident. The second time around I worked smarter, using thick red marker and painters tape to create solid and smooth lines.
I used black, brown and gold felt with a leather pattern for the loincloth, and spray painted/modified charms for a necklace for his belt. The chains are from a necklace kit, which I also spray painted to match, and the goatee is some fur I picked up with the rest of the supplies. Funny enough, I was going to make the Chaos Blades from scratch, but found out that the blades from Kratos action figure fit perfectly into my Munnys hands.
I intentionally left Kratos' face blank because I like the abstractness of the piece.
Good call on leaving the face blank. I love the abstract design - the minimalism of the figure itself contrasts well with the business of the swords and clothing.
Oh my gosh, this is awesome!! I love GOW and I love the munny dolls! (I've actually been working on a major assignment for a new package for the mini munny)
