      Looking for the OLD thread? See it here: http://windstoneeditions.com/the-windstone-forum/topic/pyo-painters-custom-commission-rates-and-info-73/
      It is time for a fresh one!

      PYO is an acronym for “Paint Your Own”! This is a distinct line produced by Windstone Editions, that come unpainted with the intention that collectors may paint them how they wish.

      PYO painters, feel free to post your information about doing custom paint jobs. You’re encouraged to use the β€˜form’ below to help standardize things a bit and allow for less confusion, but it is not required if you don’t wish to do so.

      A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

      *Offering custom paint jobs on Windstones that are not sold as “Paint Your Own” is not allowed on our Official forums. These are considered “repaints”. Repaints are heavily discouraged, officially.

      *Offering to replicate “official” paint jobs on a PYO is not allowed. If you are not sure about what is “too close” or not, please contact John. Please remember that intentionally replicating an existing, official paint job is a violation of Windstone’s legal rights. Examples of official colors include but are not limited to: “Peacock” (as on a Windstone, not a bird), “Black Gold” (as on a Windstone, not jewelry), “Autumn Leaf” (as on a Windstone, not nature), etc.

      *Major modifications of PYOs is generally not allowed; if you are unsure, please ask John or Melody directly.

      This thread is for custom commission info only- please use other threads to advertise your completed pieces!

      IMPORTANT LEGAL STUFF: The information below and services provided by individuals on this forum in no way reflects or are associated with Windstone Editions or it’s staff. Windstone claims no responsibility for the information or services posted by the users of the forum. Basically, remember that any problems you may have with a commissioner or client are that person one on one and Windstone isn’t involved or responsible. Thanks!!

        *I will not paint the Muse for commission. This is personal preference.
        **This sculpt is not available yet. So I have no pricing information at this time.
        ***Pricing is unique for this sculpt. Because its surface is super smooth, it allows for complex images to be painted on it. The higher part of the price range is for illustrated images.

        Type of paint/materials used: Acrylics, Interference, color change/magic, Pearl-Ex Powders, standard synthetic brushes and toothpicks. I use brush on sealers that are UV resistant.

        Brand of paint used: Galleria, Liquitex, Golden, Spaz-Stix (on request), color shift powder pigments and a small number of miscellaneous acrylics (Americana, etc).

        Are pet portraits offered?: Yes, but I will need clear pictures of both sides of your pet.

        Do you do duplicates of other’s commissions/paint schemes?: No. If you commission me, I will not duplicate your original idea/paint scheme for someone else. I do not duplicate other artist’s paint schemes knowingly. I will duplicate my OWN previously existing paint schemes. i.e. I would duplicate paint schemes like β€˜Nebula’ or β€˜Forests of the Night’ because they’re mine.

        Do you do production piece repaints on commission?: No. I only do repaints for myself. However, I am willing to duplicate any of my repaint’s paint schemes on PYO pieces. i.e. I would be willing to duplicate ‘Star Heart’s’ paint scheme on a PYO.

        Shipping method: Double-boxed. Bubble wrap & peanuts. In the packaging I get the sculpt in.

        Shipping rates/insurance: Tracking & insurance required. I use USPS/UPS and ship from the zipcode of 30907. I will charge a flat rate of $21/item. If I do not use all the s/h money for shipping costs I will refund the difference.

        Ships to: US & Canada

        Artist location: Georgia, USA

        Other comments: I work with the eyes/gem stones that are provided by Windstone Editions unless it’s something I painted outside of a commission. If you want other eyes/gem stones, you will have to cover the additional costs. My painting speed varies depending upon my work/life schedule and complexity of the paint scheme. I will give a rough estimate of completion time when you contact me and describe what it is you want.

        Payment Methods & β€œTerms of Service”: I accept Paypal. When you pay me, please use the β€˜paying for goods/services’ option. I accept payment for commissions in installments if you want, just let me know you want to do that when you first contact me. Payments must be completed within a reasonable amount of time that we can settle on after your initial contact.

        On all commissions there must be a non-refundable down payment. Down payment is sending me the sculpture you want painted or the cost of the sculpture + s/h. I subtract the down payment from the total cost of the commission. So if you send me a sculpt straight from Windstone, I will subtract the amount on the invoice from the cost of the commission. If I will be ordering the sculpt, please let me know what color eyes/gems you want so I can get the correct ones. I don’t have spares!

        I will send progress pictures to you via e-mail if you wish. Initially, these can look messy. It’s not a disaster so please don’t panic. It’s just the nature of how I paint with washes. If something happens, I will let you know and we can proceed from there. If I finish ahead of schedule on a large commission I will patiently wait until the planned end of the installment payments. The lines of communication are always open. If I don’t respond promptly (within a week) to e-mail, something has happened to me. Never hesitate to contact me with concerns.

        Once full payment has been completed, I will ship the item/items and provide you with tracking information.

        If you change your mind on a commission, I reserve the right to keep or sell it to cover costs. My finances CAN’T afford mistakes or changes of heart. Also note, any payment you send OUTSIDE of the down payment will be refunded if you choose to cancel a commission. I will also give a refund if the unthinkable happens and the sculpt breaks during shipping (but you must provide proof via photo).

        I will not accept trades as a form of payment for commission.

            Name: Rosanna P. Brost (β€˜Rosy’)

            Artist Contact Info: You may contact me for commissions in a number of ways, but the best ways to contact me primarily by email (blackfalcolf@gmail.com). You can also contact me here or on Tumblr (www.rosannapbrost.tumblr.com.)

            Commission acceptance status: OPEN – I will take one commission at a time. I have other priorities, so I’ll be taking these on a case-by-case basis. ?

            PYO Painting Rates:

            All rates are in USD and include the sculpt. Rates do not include shipping!

            Foo Puppy…………….$50
            Kitsune………………$80
            Griffity……………..$80
            Flapcat………………$150
            Wolf…………………$150
            Griffin………………$150
            Kirin………………..$150
            Dragon (small)………..$150
            Unicorn………………$170
            Keeper (big dragon)……$200
            Adult Foo Dog…………$200

            Custom Eyes………….+$15

            Please allow at least three months for completion; this accounts for the time it takes for the sculpt to ship to me and gives me plenty of time to paint it. Once I get a commission I make it my first priority, so depending on time of year it will probably be finished much faster than that. I will not work on commissions during the months of November and December due to holiday constraints. For custom eyes I buy blanks (β€˜flints’) from Van Dyke’s Taxidermy Supply and paint them with acrylics; these especially look awesome on β€˜predatory’ sculpts like flap cats, dragons and winged wolves because I use interference paint on them. (It gives them that cool shadowy look that real predators’ eyes have!)

            Note that I put interference paint and antiquing on pretty much everything. If you are β€˜allergic’ to either, let me know, otherwise your piece will most likely have both. I also put metallic paint on pretty much everything too, but this ain’t optional haha. ?

            Type: Acrylic

            Brand:
            I use a variety. Folk Art, Americana, Apple Barrel, Golden Fluid Acrylics (primarily interference) and Windsor & Newton Gloss Medium.

            Pet Portraits: I have the right to refuse of course, but certainly, so long as you provide lots of reference images (the more you provide the more accurate I can make it!) and keep in mind that it’ll never be a perfect look alike and that some artistic license will always be taken. For references I absolutely require at least one very clear side view shot (with clear view of all four feet) and a front shot so that I can see facial markings. I also need to be able to see what the tail looks like.

            Here are some examples of references that I consider good:

            Side view:
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_(horse)#/media/File:Mangalarga_Paulista.jpg
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd#/media/File:GermanShep1_wb.jpg
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat#/media/File:Grey_classic_tabby_crop.JPG
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Paint_Horse#/media/File:Overo2.jpg

            Front view (primarily a clear view of the face):
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_cat#/media/File:Shaded_silver_Persian_Cat_Missionhill_Cosmic_Rainstorm.jpg
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd#/media/File:DSHwiki.jpg
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat#/media/File:Kamee01_edit.jpg

            For animals with complicated markings (spotted, appaloosa, pinto or paint) I require clear side view references of both sides of the individual. In this case a β€˜butt shot’ would probably be appreciated too.

            Shipping method:
            I ship Canada Post with insurance and tracking in original packaging, double boxed with packing peanuts. ? Shipping is determined on a case-by-case basis via Canada Post’s website. I ship worldwide so long as you understand that it’ll cost more for me to ship to you if you don’t live in North America! (Which is why I don’t ship worldwide on swaps… I once had to ship a copy of my book to an obscure European country and the charge was, shall I say, quite painful.)

            Artist location: British Columbia, Canada.

            Other comments: I prefer painting naturalistic animal schemes (β€˜safari’ or β€˜domestic’), but I’ll paint anything in a tabby/tiger scheme haha! ? (Especially on a dragon. Flame tabby? Sure! Purple tabby dragon? Heck yes! :D) I am happy to paint sculpts in schemes that I have used before although they will never be exactly alike to the first version. I am not really interested in painting schemes based upon plants but if the plant in question has interesting markings then I might consider it. I am also not really interested on painting things based on geology or forces of nature. I will ot paint schemes based on characters in pop culture (Naruto, TLOZ, Pokemon) but I will consider painting schemes based on your own original characters, providing that you send me good reference material! (See pet portrait notes above.) I don’t like painting impressionistic stuff, sorry. I will consider painting stuff based on my own original species if you really want a falcolf schemed winged wolf or something. Please be clear about what your heart desires! ?

            Payment and Terms of Service: I require at least 50% up front so that I can order the sculpt (this is non-refundable) and I will not begin painting until I have 100% of the commission fee. I require 100% up front on foo puppies. Due to the fact that it takes time for sculpts to ship to me from Windstone and I am financially incapable of keeping PYOs in stock at my house, I cannot rush orders so please commission me well in advance for gifts. I will not make any alterations of any kind to the sculpt and I do not do repairs at this time, nor repaints.

            I prefer paypal but I will take money orders too. I do not take deviantART points!

            Trades:
            YES!* I will gladly trade commission services for blank PYOs (since I can’t usually afford them otherwise and I LOVE painting these things.) I will also trade for pebble animals; especially AWD sitting foxes (GRAIL!), cougars, GB sitting foxes, GB bat eared foxes (especially AWD,) grey foxes, fennecs and GB lady cats. Hoppy poads are also pretty darn exciting for me. (Near-grail status.) I’d really like a baby dragon.

            *Well, most of the time. Right now in particular I can’t really afford to buy any Windstones of any kind from the store, even PYOs (except for maaaaybe foo pups.) The only trade I can currently make is a commission in return for blank PYOs (you’d still pay shipping.) The weak Canadian dollar is making my Windstone addiction pretty unaffordable, sigh. Even a small dragon is like $75 for me with shipping… nope.

                      I think maybe we need a new thread for this… this one’s been running since 2016, and now that we can’t edit posts there’s probably a lot of out-of-date information.

                      Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).

                          This thread is painfully out of date. That being said, after a long hiatus I’ve decided to reopen for commissions. However my old list of prices is woefully out of date. I’ll have to redo it.

                                Type of paint/materials used:
                                Brand of paint used: All kinds of paints, the majority of paints I get from Hobby Lobby. If you are wanting certain brand of paint I can do that for an extra cost if I have to buy something I dont have in stock.
                                Are pet portraits offered?: Yes, but I will need clear pictures of both sides of your pet.
                                Do you do duplicates of other’s commissions/paint schemes?: No. If you commission me, I will not duplicate your original idea/paint scheme for someone else. I do not duplicate other artist’s paint schemes knowingly. I will duplicate my OWN previously existing paint schemes.
                                Do you do production piece repaints on commission?: No.
                                Shipping method: Double-boxed. Bubble wrap & peanuts. In the packaging I get the sculpt in.
                                Shipping rates/insurance: Tracking & insurance required. I use USPS and ship from the zipcode of 80733. I use click and ship, so I send Priority Mail for those.
                                Ships to: US & Canada
                                Artist location: Colorado, USA
                                Other comments: I work with the eyes/gem stones that are provided by Windstone Editions unless it’s something I painted outside of a commission. If you want other eyes/gem stones, you will have to cover the additional costs. My painting speed varies depending upon my work/life schedule and complexity of the paint scheme. I will give a rough estimate of completion time when you contact me and describe what it is you want.
                                Payment Methods & β€œTerms of Service”: I accept Paypal. When you pay me, please use the β€˜paying for goods/services’ option. I accept payment for commissions in installments if you want, just let me know you want to do that when you first contact me. Payments must be completed within a reasonable amount of time that we can settle on after your initial contact.
                                On all commissions there must be a non-refundable down payment. Down payment is sending me the sculpture you want painted or the cost of the sculpture plus the shipping and handling to have it shipped to me. I subtract the down payment from the total cost of the commission. So if you send me a sculpt straight from Windstone, I will subtract the amount on the invoice from the cost of the commission. If I will be ordering the sculpt, please let me know what color eyes/gems you want so I can get the correct ones. I don’t have spares!
                                I will send progress pictures to you via e-mail if you wish. Initially, these can look messy. It’s not a disaster so please don’t panic. It’s just the nature of how I paint. If something happens, I will let you know and we can proceed from there. If I finish ahead of schedule on a large commission I will patiently wait until the planned end of the installment payments. The lines of communication are always open. If I don’t respond promptly (within a week) to e-mail, something has happened to me. Never hesitate to contact me with concerns. You can always contact me via Facebook, or email.
                                Once full payment has been completed, I will ship the item/items and provide you with tracking information.
                                If you change your mind on a commission, I reserve the right to keep or sell it to cover costs. My finances CAN’T afford mistakes or changes of heart. Also note, any payment you send OUTSIDE of the down payment will be refunded if you choose to cancel a commission. I will also give a refund if the unthinkable happens and the sculpt breaks during shipping (but you must provide proof via photo).
                                I WILL accept trades as a form of payment for commission, and would be willing to discuss this with you.

                                  Message me here or email me at brenlower@gmail.com Please make sure to put Windstone PYO in the subject so I know what to watch for. If you don’t hear from my email within a few days, please message me here instead- it may have gone to my junk mail.
                                  I’m also on facebook in a couple of the Windstone fan groups.

                                  PYO Painting Rates:

                                  My price ranges depending on the complexity of the piece- these prices are estimates only! Extra complicated or specialized paints may require additional cost. I do have some extra eyes from Windstone, plus some specialty eyes (extra cost) that we can discuss using.
                                  As you can see from my examples, I’ve painted mostly dragons, but do have some experience with other sculpts as well. I am willing to work with a wide range of colors, love metallic paints, and enjoy discussing possibilities with you. None of the prices below include the sculpture or the price of shipping back to you. Typically, I like people to buy the sculpture and ship it directly to me. We can work out other arrangements if you’d like. I do not generally have extra sculpts on hand, so please take that into consideration.
                                  I do work full time plus have other commissions I work on, so may not be able to do rush jobs. My typical turn around once started is 4-6 weeks after receiving the sculpt.

                                  Types of paint/materials used: I use craft acrylics/metallics and Arteza Metallic paints, depending on the desired outcome. I have used antiquing in several of my projects, and I finish by sealing with a clear finishing spray.

                                  Are pet portraits offered (when applicable): I haven’t done any pet portraits, but would be willing to try.

                                  Shipping method (e.g., double boxed, UPS only, etc): All shipping will be done in Windstone boxes- double boxed and well padded. I prefer USPS, but am willing to discuss options.

                                  Shipping rates/insurance: I charge you what the post office charges me to ship. I can include extra insurance if desired at your cost.

                                  Ships to: US and Canada

                                  Artist location: Utah, US

                                  Do you take payment plans or have any β€œTerms of Service”:
                                  Typically, I like people to buy the sculpture and ship it directly to me- I consider this a good will gesture, and don’t require a down payment if you are sending the sculpture to me. If that is not possible, a down payment of the cost of purchase and shipping of the sculpt would be acceptable.
                                  Price of the piece plus shipping is typically due once the piece is finished and before I ship the piece. I am willing to work with people, and I stay in contact by sending photos of progress along the way.

                                  Please message me with questions! I love painting these beautiful sculptures, and would love to work with you on a project!

                                  I’m including a few samples of my work, but see this thread for even more!
