My first PYO

What a fantastic first PYO! I love the colors and the patterns you’ve created! Nice work and welcome to the forum! :bigsmile:

Oh Wow, What a Beauty! He’s a Fantastic First PYO!
He looks like Lava to me!

I’ve been lurking around the PYO Forums to research painting my first PYO also. I’m actually going to start with my Muse, even though I’ve also already bought a Foo Mom, Small Dragon and a Keeper Dragon. I’m also going to check out painting supplies this weekend. Unfortunately, I’m usually extremely busy in the Fall, so I might not actually get to paint any of my PYOs until mid-November or in December.

Hope my first PYO’s turn out as nicely as yours did!
Congrats on your First Post and First PYO! 🙂

Nice Job. I think these colors would be right up Flamingdragons’ alley 🙂 looks great and I bet your addicted to it now! Welcome

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I must say I can see getting addicted to this very easily. It had been a long time since I did anything like painting and I forgot how relaxing and enjoyable it is- I had a lot of fun planning this guy and then seeing that vision turn to reality. I have a winged wolf to paint next and am hoping that the Keeper dragon models get restocked soon.

Ela_Hara- I’m sure yours will turn out even better! I think the best advise I could offer is to spend the extra money on higher quality paints and to really plan out what you want to do ahead of time, both of which were in the PYO tutorial. I thought it was really helpful and actually walked around with it up on my smartphone while shopping.

Oh, believe me, I’m really big about researching, which could be a good or bad thing depending upon your take on it (takes a little bit of time for me to actually get to the ‘doing’ part). There’s A LOT of great tips on the Forum posts and I’ve just about read every one in the PYO and repairs forums going back to 2011 or earlier. A really good one was using a Cake decorator’s stand that is basically a ‘lazy susan’ to be able to revolve your PYO piece around without holding/picking it up unless you need to. Great tip!

Good Luck on your Wolf! 🙂

Very nice! Love the red… and your lines are nice and clean. 🙂

What a nice first go! I like the effect of the red showing up between the black scales. That’s something I definitely want to try for myself some time in the future.

What a cutie! His shoulders and thighs look like magma that’s starting to cool, and I love the row of smaller black-dotted-with-silver scales that parallel his throat scales!

Have you named him (or her) yet?
