2 New paint jobs, and my first PYO Wolfie

Custom repaints on flap cats may not be necessary soon since I believe Melody said she was planning on making a flap cat PYO eventually. As for the winged wolf PYOs, I price them around $100-200 with shipping included within the US. For something like this, $125. I am really needing a final TMNT sculpture and I’d really appreciate a trade for one. The sculptures run the same price. If interested let me know. I’m always open to taking commissions. I probably won’t be offering commissions over EBAY again though.

The problem with EBAY is that I can’t be assured of the final price on an auction. Someone may win at opening bid price and want a really detailed griffin that should cost a lot more, and visa versa. I know a lot of folks saw my auctions and the first few admittedly went for really high prices and I made sure to full-out detail those griffins to death to make it worth the buyer’s while. Of course I haven’t skimped on detail for the folks who won at the opening bid price. I’ve had my highest auction go for $250, and my lowest was just the price of the sculpte unpainted…so the range is wild and undependable, and I find that people prefer to not have the stress of an auction if they really want a commissioned piece…plus some people think that I may not commission on the side outside of EBAY when I actually do, using EBAY mostly to garner more watchers for my artwork.

I try to price fair always and work with the buyers. I have only had one person say they didn’t bid because of the waiting period. Most people who want a good job for anything art should expect soething of a wait and not instant turnaround. I do regret I can’t turn them out in a week or so due to my schedule of general work, but that’s just what artists who draw for a living have to do…we often work harder for have to plan ahead for jobs. Ebay was ok in the beginning, but I need more security than that and not make people feel left-out who don’t bid, or can’t sniper bid and what-have-you.

Thanks for all the compliments, I just wish the photos showed the griffin off better. The wings are not really white as they appear but a nice grey-ish aged look. But of well…anything you get from me in person looks 10 times better than these photos.

Skigod: I do have a felt pad, I thought I added it on, I can ship that to you. Also, I do have a PYO dragon on the side to compensate for that little mishap.

Rylie: TMNT refers to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mirage Studios released a set of statues to comemorate the turtles original comic release. There are four turtles whose bases interlock together to make a whole giant statue set combined. I am only missing Leonardo right now. My main concern is that I won’t get a chance to get him because they are all Limited Editions and when the new movie comes out in March there will be no chance to get these guys. I can’t justify buying them with my own money or money I take in, so I take trades for them…someone else buys them and ships them to me and I in turn do the paint job. I am a collector of TMNT and just finished an extensive little collector sewer lair I painted up and made brick shelving for and need to post those photos to my forum.

Ah, I meant because of the griffin breakage, to compensate you with my dragon PYO sculpt…unrelated to the future large dragon commission. Could always have a pink baby…and do the larger dragon to match once it comes out…:)
