I have been painting fennecs. They are tiny, smooth, round and slippery. They roll off of their little painting wheels and get jammed behind the turntable in my paint booth. They get little specks on them. They get their copyright notices accidentally sanded off of their bums easily. They roll over on the carts. They … Read more
This is “Candy” the September 2011 Windstone Editions raffle prize. He ( she?) is a Spectral dragon, painted in many shades of pastel metallic paint. The Spectral dragon has dichroic globes for eyes. Her eyes look dark in this photo, but they will reflect brightly in the right light. If you would like to enter … Read more
Here are some snapshots of the OW and Lap dragon with the “Garden Dragon” for a size comparison. The pictures are a little bit deceiving, because from the front, it almost appears as if the Garden drag and the OW are close to the same size, but if you compare them from other angles you … Read more
This is “Irene” the lovely raffle prize for August 2011. This is a horrible photo, sorry, she is much more elegant looking when she isn’t surrounded by a disgustingly dirty paint booth. She is basic black with blue and violet along her dorsal scales and flame colors other places. She has metallic gold spots red … Read more
Here is a class photo of the the latest batch of baby unicorns. This group has more individuals with fantasy colors. There are lots of metallic colored ones and a calico or two, and some interesting eye colors. These have all been dusted with “magic invisible paint” too, so they will sparkle in the sunlight. … Read more
The picture in the store doesn’t show the color well. These curlies aren’t solid copper colored, their top side is mostly a dark rosy brown color with a blush of russet red on their wings. I need to take a picture to post here… hang on a minute…OK, these are quickie snapshots I took, but … Read more
The July raffle prize is this swell test-painted tiger Fledgling dragon. I was working out the tiger pattern on this piece, so he isn’t absolutely perfect, but he will make a lovely raffle prize! “Blake” is a tiger tiger burning bright, with deep teal colored wings, teal eyes and a matching aqua colored jewel in … Read more
Twindragonsmum had asked me if Snerl , our logo griffin, had a family. For some reason, yes he does a have a family! This is a old sketch I did of him, (I had to clean it up a lot in photoshop to make it presentable.) This is Snerl with “Shady Grove” the mare, and … Read more
Even in black, this cheerful creature doesn’t look very “Goth”. Looks more like a puppy. We have cast enough of these guys to do a store batch. These are cast out of the ORIGINAL molds, which are at least ten years old! I am totally amazed that they still work. We retired these unicorns in … Read more
OK! OK! I found something! This is “Zonker”, the Zedonk Hatching Pegasus. He is the prize for the June Windstone raffle. He is about the size of a lemon. His extended wing is painted pewter, so that it is durable. The rest of him is cast gypsum, and he has brown glass eyes. If you … Read more
It seems like this new griffin color, ” Silver Wolf”, popped up out of nowhere, but I have been fighting with the color of the “Wolf” griffins for years. They never looked quite the way I had imagined. I finally decided to be brave and totally change the color of the “Wolfs” from the brownish … Read more
I painted more of them! Thought you’d like to see a snapshot, even though they don’t have their eyes and horns yet. Notice the crisp markings on the pintos? I cut stencils this time, so no more soft-edged pinto markings. This batch has many palominos and buckskins, a few blood bays with “high white” markings, … Read more
This one is “Tabby” a striped grey Gothic unicorn. After I painted him I found tiny-tiny little pin holes in his belly fur, so he gets to be the raffle prize for May! He is painted like a stripy grey tabby cat. He has a gold plated pewter horn and brown glass eyes. His collar … Read more
“Hobbs” is the prize for the April 2011 Windstone raffle. He is one of the first tiger Oriental dragons that I test painted. Tigers take practice. I goofed up his markings and repainted him many times, so I thought it was time to give him a good home. His final paint job looks pretty good. … Read more
Just a heads-up of things in the works this week: Spotty ( beagle) Crouching Griffin Chicks, Pink Curlies, Silver Rising Spectrals and Emperors, Blackgold Rising Spectrals and Sand fledgelings. I will try to get a pic of the April raffle prize up today, here, if the website lets me upload images ( and if I … Read more
