Hi,
I have two unpainted griffins that are a little different from each other. The one with green eyes has a Windstone ink stamp on the bottom and the one with lavender eyes has Windstone embossed/carved/stamped (I don’t know what you call it) into it on the bottom. I remember reading something about –one “batch that had fluffy feathers” but I have no idea which one is which. Could someone please explain the difference to me?I am not and will never be an artist so I thought I might offer one for sale but I don’t know which version you artist guys would prefer.
I appreciate the help, thanks!
I don’t know for sure, but going on the stamps I would say the one with the ink stamp would probably be a fluffy/soft feather one. Take a look at the fethers on the wings, that’s part of the way to tell them apart. I think the new ones have more definition to the feather details than the old one. As fo selling them I know a lot of folks have been trying to find the soft feather versions.
The first version of PYO griffins had less definition to the individual feathers and were called, unofficially “Soft” feathered griffins because they had a softer look to their feathers. These griffins were the first PYOs produced and they only had a Windstone ink stamp at the bottom.
Melody then resculpted the griffin to sharpen the feather definition to allow for more detailed paintjobs (this is my fault I think). At this point Windstone had come up with the embossed/inset logo pressed into the bottom.
I hope this answers your question! The “Soft” feathered griffins are more ‘rare’ because they only made so many before it was resculpted.
