Simply beautiful!
September 5, 2011 at 8:50 pm #855467So beautiful! The greens are so vibrant and lush 🙂
September 5, 2011 at 10:39 pm #855484Hmmm… I’m looking at both dragons, and I think I like the small one the best. The wings on the keeper came out more vibrant, though.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

September 7, 2011 at 2:10 am #855592I could stare at either one of these all day and never get bored! I agree with Hannah I love mono-chromatic pieces that doesn’t look mono-chromatic 😀
September 14, 2011 at 1:54 pm #856485What should i say, i think any praise, however how deep and nice it will be, won’t be much more than a unworthy breeze against that what you’d done here BD. I really can’t await to have this wonderful, gorgeous Dragon there, with all the life, all the warmth. The wonderful warmth of the Life, is catched in this Piece and it gives me warmth to the deepest deeps in my heart.
You’re a wonderful artist. I’m very happy that i was able to get a Commission from you. I need to give you a very big thank you, for all the work you’d put in it. It may paid with money yes, but he has something that isn’t buyable.
Thank you Bayoudragon.
Greetings from the Jungle,

September 14, 2011 at 5:16 pm #856501Thanks everyone for their kinds words, and especially to you ryuwing. That was very touching. It makes me very happy that my PYOs are so loved by their new owners (and I’m sure that this is very true for other artists as well).
I just sent you an email. If you do not receive the one I sent today, let me know. Feel free to PM me here. I know you wanted him shipped around mid-month. Just let me know. He is all boxed up and ready to go. 🙂
May 10, 2012 at 11:31 pm #880257Well, it’s been quite a while since I posted on this thread (or even the forum, really). I figured it’s time I give an update. First off, 2012 has been the worst year for me. Period. Everything’s a mess. Actually, everything has been a mess since about mid last year. I have been trying to move since November, but it just isn’t happening. My current place has some kind of grip on my soul. All my stuff is scattered in 4 different places. My AC is broken (again), and apparently I need a plumber to fix it. We now have other financial issues that have popped up besides the renovating. My grandmother’s health had been steadily declining, and she passed away last month. Even though we were expecting it, she was my last grandparent, and it hit me harder than I thought it would. 🙁
I can write forever about why my job sucks. After 14 years, I’m throwing in the towel. I put in my resignation. My last day in a full-time capacity is May 25th. This was the hardest decision I think I ever made. I always complained and wanted to leave, but I never did (my job was the money-maker for my husband and I). This was my first full-time job, and I came on board one month after the site opened. It has always been a part of my life, and I have a massive feeling of ownership for the place. Even so, my mental, emotional, and lately my physical health has suffered. Depression was becoming chronic. It has taken me over a year to really have the guts to cut the cord. I may stay on part-time just to get them through the insanity of the summer, but my responsibilities will be greatly reduced. We’ll see how that goes. LOL.
I also want to give a big shout of appreciation to everyone I owe commissions to. You have been most understanding while I try to get my life together. Thank you! Here is where my commission list stands since I closed it. The first three are pictured (sorry I forgot to put in the eyes!)
1. Small dragon – Mine! This is “Blue”. He is my first airbrushed piece. :bigsmile:
2. Liger phoenix – I need to work out the striping pattern.
3. Kimono uni #2 – I need to add luster to the mane and tail and add the patterns.
4. Interference wolf (warm colors) – He will be primed soon.
5. Maltese tiger griffin #4 – Yep. Another one. *cries* LOL.
6. Kirin – Theme not determined yet.
With my soon-to-be reduced hours I’m hoping to make some progress on these(even with renovations).
– Angela 🙂
May 10, 2012 at 11:41 pm #8802625. Maltese tiger griffin #4 – Yep. Another one. *cries* LOL.
I’m torn between laughing, asking if I can be first in line for #5, and telling you to run while you can. LOL I HATE doing the same thing over and over again, especially art-wise, so I can completely relate! (but I absolutely love that piece, it was one of the first PYOs I came across that I just craved…!)
Sorry to hear about the rest of the mess; sometimes that sort of thing just all happens at once and you have to hope there’s a reason for it that will eventually come clear. In the meantime, all you can do is try and keep your head above the water.
And I’m glad you were able to let go of the job. I know that can be very difficult, with so much time invested. Having had a job that destroyed my health, though, I can totally empathize. Sometimes the money isn’t worth it.
Welcome back–can’t wait to see what you post for us to drool over next!

LOL. Um, actually… you would be #6. I had someone else inquire about a maltese before I had actually closed my waiting list. I really have created a monster. 😛
May 11, 2012 at 3:33 pm #880296They are beautiful . Love the phoenix so much .
I know what your going thru with a loss . My mom died Monday of ALS . And it hurts so much . Mother’s Day won’t be a day I want to think of this year . My dad died a few days before her birthday in 1998 . So holidays are never the same .
No hurry . Take your time . No one wants you to rush .May 11, 2012 at 4:12 pm #880298Love the lovely warm colors on that phoenix and the unicorn. Awesomeness :bigsmile:
May 11, 2012 at 4:19 pm #880299I’m so happy to hear you are recovering after all the downfalls that have been going through. My Liger is looking awesome! *so excited*
I’m very happy I got my Maltese when I did, however one day I really want a Maltese Small Dragon from you ^_^ When you open back up for commissions that will be next on your list <3 *someday*
