A reference post for everyone who is open to windstone pictures and prices….
**ARTISTS**
Please post here with your examples and price ranges as well as your email or contact info. Also please use small pictures or better yet Links to photos so the whole thread is not too large.**Customers**
Please remember that no artist will copy another’s work, nor an exact windstone style. All artists are unique and deserve your love and attention! ha!Oh I like the idea of this thread. Will make it much easier to see who is willing to take commisions and see examples of their work.
Hi! Welcome to Wippetluv Studios!
Here are some samples and price ideas! I also do restorations and custom work.All my PYOs are the same price. 100 bucks flat, but I am easy to bargain with and simple paint jobs will be less, not including shipping. That does include the windstone itself. So I will only charge 70 if you provide the sculpt.
Here are some samples…

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/cornflakegirlpony/100_7245.jpgI will also do repaints and custom Windstones. They start at 100.00 and include repair work.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/cornflakegirlpony/100_7591_0001.jpgJust plain restoration starts at 25 bucks for chips and small shard resculpt, and 50 for missing peices that must be redone. I will have some before and after pics soon.
This thread is an awesome idea! Thanks to Watergazer for coming up with it, and to Whippet for starting the thread!
This will be a great resource for people who are thinking about requesting commissions. And its nice to have samples of everyone’s work in one place — its neat to look at! Its really interesting to see the distinctive styles from each of the artists.
Hmmm. Now I have to actually set my rates!
Gryphons – $120
Ki-rins – $100
Dragons – $110
Wolves – $100That inculdes the sculpt itself, and is the base rate, if you wanted something really time consuming, like the lava pattern, I’d charge more.
Examples of my work can be found in my gallery here, as I don’t have a gallery on my home page for them yet.
Also, just in case anybody cares, here’s my fursuit commissions info.

$100 flat for griffin, dragon and wolf
$105 for Ki’rin (for sculpt price difference)Anything super detailed would be extra, of course.

I also take commissions for other things too, just gimmie a poke!
All of my samples and basic good photos can be seen in the Windstone gallery here: http://www.windstoneeditions.com/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=48
My custom paint job prices include the price of the sculpture:
Dragon: $125
KiRin: $125
Winged Wolf: $125

*I also provide pet-portrait services…if you want a winged wolf painted like your dog, I can do that, just provide photos.
Shipping within the US is $10 extra. I also give discounts for multiple commissions of a set etc.Prices can vary if there’s a lot of detail to be packed in, like blue-jay wings or brindle/calico coloration.

– Major restoration (e.g., missing pieces): Once again, price would vary depending on the amount of breakage. I haven’t worked on a piece that’s been smashed to bits, but I have remolded a few small areas so far. I am working on a brown Mother dragon right now with a badlt broken wing.

Price would vary depending on the piece. I’ve only done one so far. It was actually broken into about 4 large pieces so to cover up alot of the missing chunks in between the cracks, he was remolded, and completey repainted.

Prices quoted do not include shipping to you since that is calculated individually based on various shipping options and your location.
It would be ideal if we request that this post be turned into a sticky. That way it won’t get lost in the many other postings.
