question

The production Kirins were expensive because they were murder to paint. All of the edges of sharp color change between the fur and scales needed hand touching up on every one, and the smooth white scales showed every speck and smudge… oy, I don’t think we ever made any money on the Kirins, (we may of lost money) we should of retired them a lot sooner than we did. We only continued to sell them because we liked them so much!
The thing about smaller pieces is that they are usually harder to paint than the larger ones and people expect that they should cost less! For example, the griffin chicks take just as long to paint as the adults, but sell for much less! They are a deal.
Being able to sell things like this, retail, from our store solves this us-loosing-money-on-every-sale problem. I am so happy that we can do Kirins again! I can even add to the family.

Hahahaha!

This info was taken directly from the Great Imaginary Encyclopedia. Never leave home without it.

We time how long it takes to paint them, how hard they are to cast, add the materials involved: size, expense of special paint, other special stuff that gets added to the sculpture and then look at the other pieces in the line and charge what seems right, relatively. Sometimes we need to charge less than we should.
The cost of my time to do the sculpture doesn’t get put into the equation.

Yay! The Kirins are having quads! 😯 😆
How about a baby grazing kirin? A cute kirin scratching his nose with his little hoof? Curled up in a ball? Laying down like mama.
Baby kirins everywhere!!!
They do breed like rabbits you know 😆

I honestly would rather do pyos!
