The dinner report (aka. gossip from Melody)

Well, I thought I’d just let you curious folks know that I just got back from visiting Melody and company, and they are super-nice and also super fun. Good food and a good time was had.

It’s funny because Melody said she had “nothing interesting” to see there, but there are about a million Windstones in every nook and cranny of that place, they’re just mostly older ones, none of the new stuff. They’ve got a green emperor dragon doing duty as a book end, and I saw a few ki-rins in odd test colors.

I was trying to not be a horrible fangirl, so I didn’t pester her about too many things, but DragonMaster will be happy to know that the green fledgelings are coming along. I put in a plug for the Violet Flame fledgelings, of course. *grins*

And on the subject of poads, (since I know you’re all interested!) the jury is still out on what, exactly, will be done with them. They were, as she’s mentioned, a personal project, and never really intended for the world at large. Which I can totaly sympathize with. I’ve got a couple of drawings I made for myself and my boyfriend that the rest of the world may never see, even though they’re some of my best work, because they’re personal. So the poads probably never going to be made as regular production pieces. She did say that she was thinking about possibly sharing them with us forum members in some way, but there’s no actual plan yet.

Their family and friends are all very fun and interesting people. We had some good discussion, and I tried to explain the whole “furry” fandom thing, which takes some explaining sometimes.

So there’s my evening’s report. I can confirm what everyone who’s met Melody has said, that she’s a wonderful person, as well as a wonderful artist.

I didn’t take a camera. I don’t own a camera, I just borrow one! Anyhow, most of what was there was early paints of the regular production colors of old stuff.

Well, at least Melody doesn’t think it’s some horrible nasty thing. *chuckles* She was jut curious, since her work does attract a lot of furry fans.

(Not that most people I meet think furry is ick, but most furries I meet think most people think furry is ick, if that makes any sense. Paranoia, whee!)
