project munny: finished!

-
so after baking the clay parts and painting the whole thing white (here), it's time to start painting in the details. at this point it dawns on me that i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing. i don't know how to mix paint or stroke the brush properly to avoid streaking or anything. i was literally reading the labels on the acrylic paint for instructions.

not that being ignorant and unfit for the task has ever stopped me before...



i temporarily took over the kids' work table so i could work in front of the TV. watching TV while painting is my official excuse. anyways, after a final coat of matte varnish this is what we have:

    Hey, not bad for your first try :D Kelan auction?

    On a different note, I can't help but notice the color difference of your work and Omeng's. Pero syempre mas tama 'yung s'yo kasi ikaw 'yung creator :p

    @dj,
    salamat, kahit alam nating hindi totoo, hehe

    miko,
    si omeng kasi kung anong kulay yung clay, yun na talaga yung ginagamit nya. di na siya nagipinta.

    nice. it's just me, but i guess it would be better if you opted to instead create maskot's arms since it's not like that in he komik.

    nice job still...

so there's this thing where you type in the title of your book, and they tell you its chances of becoming a best-seller based on just the title itself. naturally i took it 100% seriously and plugged in a bunch of komiks titles. the scores are arranged from highest to lowest below. i threw in a few control values as well ( in bold ) just to compare: kiko machine - 72.5% funny komiks - 69.0% ang alamat ng pangit - 69.0% a tale of two cities (best-selling novel of all time) - 63.7% pugad baboy - 63.7% wasted - 63.7 % after eden - 63.7 % culture crash - 59.3% bayan knights - 59.3% kalayaan - 59.3% bearkdowns - 59.3% pilipino komiks - 45.6% lapu-lapu - 45.6% kubori kikiam - 45.6% elmer - 45.6% trese (name) - 45.6% nardong tae - 45.6% ang mundo ni andong agimat - 41.4% Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah - 41.4% the bible - 35.9% Album ng mga Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy - 35.9% mangaholix - 35.9% ang maskot - 35.9% operasyon -35.9% bukas luluhod ang mga tala - 26.3% ...

read the first two chapters of "ang panday"

the pinoy superheroes universe blog marked FPJ's sixth death anniversary by featuring the character many of us associate with him the most: ang panday. among the tidbits and video clips presented by aris panganiban is a link to the first two chapters of the 70's komiks series. here's page one: in these first two chapters, flavio is really just a small-town do-gooder rather than a fantasy world messiah. all he does is beat up a trio of local thugs and tie them to a tree for the constabulary to find. no magic swords, no manananggal nor sand ninjas, no max alvarado. his weapon or choice is a sledgehammer and his catchphrase is "tinutuwid ang matitigas na bakal!" fourteen chapters later , he's recovering from some mishap at some mansion. still no sword n' sorcery to be seen, but he does engage in some alarmingly freudian tag-team tree-chopping with a man who knows his "secret".
