First Windstone PYO!
I’m going for a copper idea…Arizona is the Copper state 😳
Not too sure about the green claws…but got more work done on it…
Advice is always appreciated. The white areas will have more green. A ziploc lid for a turntable 😆
please nobody hurt me if “copper” has been done before >_< I looked through some of the gallery and saw two that had a similar concept, but didn't look the way I planned this one out in PS. Also, I got the PYO through a private deal. I'm not going to name the seller ^^; no offence
For my first one…I guess it’s ok? Will update with pictures as I continue painting <3~Nakase

a ziplock lid? i did not steal your only turntable did i???? O_o
the green reminds me of raw copper (i think???? is that the one that has a greenish look to the raw stone?)
to really enhance it I would play with antiquing and drybrushing.( i did not show that when i was painting, bad me o_O)
if you put a darker color(mix a little black with the copper) and brushed it into the crevices of the scales, then just lightly, very lightly, brushed over a lighter..maybe even a gold..it will still look copper but it will have this really neet illusion of “glow” to it. like what you get with a pollished mettle. although this is not a technique that you do it ones and it comes out….when i do it i often go over re-layering paint…examples: paint base color…add darker color…add lighter color…add more darker color…add base color again…add darker color…add lighter color..
and all that is done in very small layers of paint. What happens is that because the layers are so thin, you can see through them to a certian point and this is what gives the illusion of “glow” and color play as your turn the object.🙂
I may be able to demonstrate what i mean on ustream for you…must find stomething to paint that technique on….

Nah, I have another lazysusan, but this was already on my desk(from removing a centipede from the bathroom) and it’s the right size for now ^^;
Well, I was thinking clean bright copper in the recessed areas with the patina on the top of the body and some edges of the scales, while the belly is shiny and seems even more so like new copper. I was planning to antique it once I was finnished, but I really do agree in that it doesn’t have much depth to the scales and such right now.
I’ve also been deviating from my original color scheme by adding plum/red/and blue topaz xD (annealed copper has beautiful reds and purples, so I’m playing with that idea in my head= playing too much in jewelry class)www.nakaseart.com
The dragon is looking good so far 😀 . I love the patina look anyways. Copper and green looks great together. Can’t wait to see the little guy done 😀 .

:hi: KoishiiKitty,Slightly off subject,I saw your PYO red/tiger uni.it is fabulous. 8) All of the PYOs I’ve seen here are beautiful and unique as the painters that lovingly do them.I’m wanting a unpainted keeper to do myself squeek* 😀
Every act matters.No matter how small💞
(Wanted......Brimstone Lap)
Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Everyone has their own interpretation of how different things look so I wouldn’t worry about doing copper when someone else has done copper before. You should know that if you give two different people the EXACT same description and tell them to “art” it (whether it be drawing, painting, spriting, et cetera) that they will always come out slightly different.

My thoughts exactly :yes: . That’s what’s great about stuff like this 😀 .

Antiqued and fully painted Jerome:
Thing is guys and gals, I’m not sure how to seal him! 😮
What do I use?
Do I cover the eyes and jewel during the sealing?
Do I put the felt pad on after sealing?Also, I’m going to be looking for a copper nugget to place on his tail curl <3 I think it will be very fitting ^^
So what do you guys think of my first PYO? The next up is in the background ^^;
