I was just thinking if it’s lemon sized, that would be a lot bigger than other pebbles right? Maybe it should be a pyo then. Can you picture it beside other sculpts for size reference?
Good point. Someplace Melody says that it is a large lemon. On the other hand, on DeviantArt she says “This chicken is pretty small, about the size of a small potato.”
I’ve seen some tiny potatoes, i grow them, haha!
Could a votable poll be made maybe?

Always open for pyo commissions, repairs and fine artwork! Email me for current prices! awier(@)weaselsoneasels.comApril 8, 2016 at 4:00 am #943953What ever you really want to do Melody!
(Though I do think it would be fun for them to be PYO, I imagine I could give them to a lot of my chicken loving friends as gifts)
April 8, 2016 at 4:02 am #943954Oops, double post.
April 8, 2016 at 6:30 pm #943962I would still vote PYO. I Agree… It is both too large, and detailed to be a Pebble. I admit, I am fairly biased though. ^^;
April 8, 2016 at 6:43 pm #943963I’m guessing at prices here, but a $25 PYO versus a $75 LP piece – maybe $110 as a Grab Bag. Which would be more profitable in the long run?

Grab bag wins on that account. We don’t really make much on the pyos.

I have been sculpting the pebbles to be bigger than the first foxes and cats. My idea was that we could make them simply, just white with a buffed wax finish like the sensuous Maya Hill pieces. Now this “pebble” line has grown into elaborately painted things, so a little bigger is better. Potato sized.
Yeah, it seems that this chicken will end up being more detailed than the average pebble.

But there aren’t any rules.I am ALWAYS down for grab bags. I am starting to get into PYO so that’s my second choice. I don’t collect LPs so I would have to pass her up if that’s all that came out.

April 9, 2016 at 2:11 am #943981I’m really hoping this will end up a pyo. I don’t have the luxury of being able to do grab bags. I can’t afford it, but that’s just me I guess. Regular runs of pebble chickens would be fine too, but again for my own selfish reasons, I know I’d get much more enjoyment out of being able to paint them. But in the end it’s your call, Melody :bigsmile:

But there aren’t any rules.That chicken just isn’t a pebble. A Plymouth Rock maybe, but not a pebble. 🙂
April 9, 2016 at 2:41 am #943984That is big and mean looking chicken. It could definitely kick the little wolfey butt sitting next to it.

this was my thought too – windstone should do whatever will be most lucrative. 😛
I pictured the pebbles as normal chicken colours but some crazy colour shift sparkle chicken could be fun too!

I second this. I’m sorry that PYO’s are not money makers, but they are all I can really afford. I look at each PYO I buy as an investment. I am a skilled enough artist that I can paint them exactly as I want them to be.
Airbrushed production pieces, and other factory pieces are too simple in my opinion. I like detail. All airbrushed pieces I have, or have seen up close are too simple, and (dare is say this…”Too sloppy”). *ducks head from flying heavy objects* …Yikes!
I think that Airbrushing really detracts from the amazing potential the sculpts themselves hold. Although, in some rare cases, simpler coloration’s really do SHOW OFF the details of Melody’s sculpts in the right instance. But, unfortunately…most often, I feel a little disappointed once I see them in-hand.I know, there has to be a delicate balance to maintain between labor, and profit in the Factory; If all pieces were as richly painted as some manually brushed special items and PYO’s have been done, the prices paid would be more worthy.
Maybe I am too much of a perfectionist….I don’t know. I am just being honest.
April 10, 2016 at 1:21 am #944009I’m abstaining from the vote, because I am not a chicken person so I wouldn’t buy a chicken PYO or a chicken Pebble. (If I were to vote, I’d say PYO, because I feel like a Pebble chicken that dwarfs the Pebble wolf is kind of silly… but hey, the fox is at least as big as the wolf, so it’s not as if they’re to a specific scale…)
