Polyhymnia

My first PYO (start to finish) in almost half a year.
I must say, the Muse is harder to paint than I thought. Especially for me, who does every feather and scale individually… 😆

I did her in return for the gift of a gold young dragon that lamortefille sent me, so she’s supposed to match Praxithea. I added the green to tie in the one weird eye.
I’m pretty happy with her, but the glossy finish didn’t quite cooperate, so there’s some air bubbles in the texture. 🙁 Sorry, lamorte. I hope you like her anyway.
A few other pics are here. None of them are really any good, but outside is gray, so I had to take them in my room.
Oh, and about the name, which is a rather high-falutin’ affair for such a small creature. Polyhymnia is the Greek Muse of eloquence, sacred song, poetry and agriculture, as well as geometry and other such things. I haven’t a clue what they have to do with each other, and I don’t know if Windstone Muses are good at any of them. But since this little critter was made as a companion for Prax, I figured her name should start with P. Polly and Prax.

Thanks. 😀
Ski, my words exactly. 😆 She was really fun to paint, though. What I like best about her is that the various textures are so varied and small that I don’t get bored painting them. It takes me six hours per griffin wing, and then I have to turn the thing over and do it all over again. 😕
Mom got better pictures, so I’ve added those…
Emerald, Eurus is a WIP. I got Polly done over a couple hours every evening for half a week. Eurus will take more concentration, but I should have him done in time to mail on Monday in a week or so.

Oh good, you like her. I had my brother mail her off yesterday, and then in the evening I realized that usually I wait until I know whether the recipient actually likes what I painted…
Anyway, you’ll have her in two weeks at the latest.
