The one with the studio lighting flatters it so much more than the others! The stripes look so good, and the paws are really lovely.
I wanna see a calico griffin now. >.>
Ooooh, I tried one of those a while ago…it was HORRIBLE!! But I need to try again.
You should! Dern it, I should send you a pic of my kitteh. She’s a calico/stripey/pudgy thing, and her colorations would work good on a griffin.

I’ve put pics in different lighting below – the ones in natural light show his true colorations better, but the others show a lot of details and his shiny finish a lot better.

WOW Arlla! I love his colors!
You did a wonderful job. What brand of paint did you use? And what is the name of the colors you used? Just beautiful!Blackdesertwind wrote:WOW Arlla! I love his colors!
You did a wonderful job. What brand of paint did you use? And what is the name of the colors you used? Just beautiful!Heh…the problem is, I mix most of my own colors…and then of course don’t write them down…which makes it very difficult to share! I very rarely just use a color straight out of the tube…But the lightest of the tans is probably “buttercrunch” and the darkest of the browns “Van Dyke brown.” Everything in between is a mixture of about 4 browns, gray and gold.
This one was done mostly in “Folk Art” craft paints… I know Golden is the best, and I have actually mixed Golden’s Gold Metallic paint into most of the color used on this guy, but I tend to have a lot of good results with cheapie craft paint."He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
