Sunbeam gryphon all done :D

Beautiful job!!!

Holy jumping starfish, i hope you are ok!! *hugs* I’m glad i could distract you from that! LOL

Thanks so much btw, i’m really pleased with my first try ^_^ Now to find an excuse to buy another and take another week or so (collectively) to paint it LOL

GREAT work, again. I didn’t realize this was your first go at it! I applaud you!

Awwww i’d love to do that, just fair warning that i am more of a “slow and steady wins the race” type painter LOL I broke up the painting of this gryphon into probably ten sessions to give the paint a chance to dry so i could accurately see how it looked ^_^ Acrylic can dry drastically darker than you think it will, especially when you add gel medium to make it transparent heh heh

Thank you again! ^___^ I’m an acrylic painter so i’m very familiar with using acrylic paint, just haven’t painted a model anything for years and years. The quality of this sculpture definitely made it worth the pain in my butt that it was to paint! LOL Getting into some places was pretty tricky, nothing like a nice flat canvas! LOL

(I really have decided I don’t have enough paitence. I do okay with painting, but there’s always some point where I go “eh, screw it!” and just finish that bit off any old way.)

Thank you ^_^

LOL there’s always a few moments like that where i was tempted to go “meh good enough” or where i thought i’d screwed it all up LOL I think spending the last two years doing independent work as part of my art degree helped me train myself to just be patient and see it through, since i’ve spent weeks doing really tedious stuff in order to get a good end result LOL (Like the time i spent eight hours straight printing 40 plates on a single 10′ x 4′ piece of cloth LOL)
