Anyone interested in a Repainted Hippogriff?-$Sold

***SOLD***

I am interested in selling a Windstone Hippogriff candleholder that I painted. I painted this before I read here in the forum that Windstone discourages the painting/selling of the non PYO’s. I got the Hippogriff several months ago from a model horse customer of mine who traded me some Windstone ‘bodies’ for a custom of mine. From day one I had always planned on fixing them and repainting them for sale but I did not know that this was discouraged.

I need to get shed of this Hippogriff, and unless someone on the forum expresses interest I’ll put him on eBay tonight. I recieved him with no breaks but the previous owner told me she broke the glass candlelamp that came with him so that is of course not included.

I wanted an equine color so I went with Bay, and added metallic gold and copperish highlights within. My paintwork always has a metallic sheen to it, so if you don’t like metallics, you should stay far, far away from any creature I paint. 🙂

I started him back in 2006 but finished him earlier this week. He was primed before painting. The paint job is in mixed media, but consists of: airbrush,golden brand acrylics, liquitex acrylics, crushed pastels,prismacolor pencils. The base coat was airbrushed and all detail work was then done by hand.

Sealed with multiple layers of Krylon Matte Finish. The eyes I repainted (this may be blasphemy in the Windstone world….sorry) because I did not like the red taxidermy type eyeballs he originally had. I didn’t think red eyeballs suited him.

He has gloss on the insides of his nostrils, his eyeballs and his hooves.

I’m not sure anyone here will want him, so I hesitate to go into many details about how much I want for him, payment methods, shipping, blah blah. If you’re seriously interested in him just send me a message and I’ll give you all that info. I do ship anywhere in the world, but he’s heavy so for international shipping it will be pretty expensive. Insurance will be madatory.

He does have the original windstone felt pad on the bottom of him and he also has the M. Pena 03 copyright mark on him as well. I signed him as “paint job by Jeanette Garey 2007” on the bottom.

He has been sitting on my “to finish” shelf for way too long and frankly I’m sick of lookin’ at him. I’ve since bought myself an original finish hippogriff with the candlelamp! 😀 If I can’t sell him, I may be interested in trading for PYO’s or something like that. I could kinda use the money more, but trade offers would also be considered. Right now, I prefer to not do time payments if at all possible.

*at this time, preference given to anyone who can do cash over trades, but if you can only trade email me anyway. If I get no cash takers by tonight I will be willing to trade at that time. I’d prefer to find a new home for him here rather than eBay just to save me the eBay fees*

Thanks for looking. (comments, critiques on the paint job are ok) This was my very first paint job on a Windstone. I have some blank PYO’s on order.
