			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.starwars.com/vault/collecting/20090713.html"><img class="alignright" title="l" src="http://www.starwars.com/vault/collecting/20090713/theempiremuggsback_sm.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="151" /></a>I was honoured to be asked to participate in the &#8216;Empire Muggs Back&#8217; charity fundraiser for Lucasfilm.</p>
<p>This Jaxxon Mighty Mugg will be for sale at San Diego Comiccon at the Lucasfilm booth, and all proceeds will go towards the Make A Wish foundation.</p>
<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Jaxxon is a 6 foot tall jack rabbit scoundrel from the Marvel Star Wars comic books, so I felt it would just be awesome to turn him into a Mugg.</p>
<p>The lines are a little wobbly, acrylic isn&#8217;t my forte, but I had a lot of fun with him <img src='http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I learned a lot of things that will help me with my TK project helmet, for sure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center aligncenter" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/final-front.jpg" alt="Jaxxon Mighty Muggs Final" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-none aligncenter" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/final-back.jpg" alt="Mighty Muggs Back" /></p>
<p>Behind the break is how I did it!</p>
<p><span id="more-143"></span>First I started with some sketches to get a feel for how I would be drawing a 6 foot rabbit on a 6 inch SD critter.</p>
<p><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/sketches.jpg" alt="sketches" /></p>
<p>I primed/sketched the face on the muggs and sculpted some ears out of paper clay &#8211; I didn&#8217;t actually glue them on until the colour coats were finished (The clay smells like mint. mmm!)</p>
<p><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs1.jpg" alt="Step 1 - Sketch" /></p>
<p><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs2.jpg" alt="Step 2 - Ears!" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let the photos speak for themselves. Because I was using kinda cheap acrylic, it took about 4 coats of each colour to get a nice, opaque finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs3.jpg" alt="Step 3 - First coat of Green" /><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs4.jpg" alt="Step 4 - Many coats later" /><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center aligncenter" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs6.jpg" alt="Step 5 - Block colours done!" /><br />
<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs7.jpg" alt="Almost done! /&gt;&lt;img class=" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/muggs9.jpg" alt="Step 8 - A tail!" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And here is the final product, in a box <img src='http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I wish I&#8217;d had more time to customize this, but it had to go to fed ex.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.flyingarmadillo.com/wp-content/gallery/3d/final-box.jpg" alt="Mighty Muggs in Box" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And there you go! My mighty muggs</p>
