This isn’t done yet (detailing/masking removed), just waiting for dick blick to get me my interference paint! But here is the start/middle of my PINK Wolf:
As always feel free to comment if something feels off to you.
Oh, but you’ll love it when you do, Ski! Nice work, Cheryl. I’m glad you decided to try painting – you’re good!
it turned out better than I thought it would but I messed up a couple of spots- bought 2 more 00 brushes too for the detailing- who knew liquid gold leaf would ruin a paint brush?? pfft.
Ski, I think you might care for her- but she’s not the white wolf with pink wings you thought of.
Eyes are brown- and funny you should mention it- that’s not interference paint- that’s dry brushing with a matte finish pink I mixed on a pearl undercoat. And yes, every shade of pink- I mixed myself with white and red!! I’m proud of that- I got the shades I wanted 😀
The nose- it was pink like on the bottom of the wings but I didn’t like it, now it’s gold…still don’t know if I like it but I don’t think I can change it.

I’ll probably do a purple griffin instead of a wolf.

That’s because the liquid stuff is more like spraypaint than gold (there’s no gold in it, usually it’s a brass alloy with metal flakes). It’s enamel-based I think (smells crazy doesn’t it??) and you either have to use a junk brush or use paint thinner/turps to clean your brush afterward or it turns into a punji-stick! 😆
It looks great so far! 🙂

My art: featherdust.comYa!!! The smell was God Awful- first thoughts were Ethylbenzene/xylene- pretty dangerous chemicals for putting on wolf toes! With enough washing in the paint brush washer I got most of it out then used a needle to clean the rest of the metal fibers out- nonetheless my round brush is no longer round. Hence the buying 2 more 00 brushes!
I LOVE it Cheryl! Very nice!
I especially love the gold toenails!! 😀
She’s sweet… and demure… she’s awesome! 😀
I CAN SEE! Cheryl, that is pretty much exactly what I pictured! Its beautiful! I am so glad you decided to (Finally!) do one 😀
