Oh I am so very excited. The partner asked for his first PYO for his birthday a little later this month, and I decided to order one up for myself as well (I’ve been agonizing over wanting one for months, having known of them for about as long as they’ve been available but just now hit with the bug to make one). He’ll be tackling a Foo Papa (it’s his first PYO too), and I’ll be trying a smooth-scale Kirin. The package just arrived yesterday! Excitement!
Now, we are waiting until his birthday to open them (I figure it’s only fair to wait on mine, as working on it in front of him might make him sad). I’ve got orange eyes for the kirin, his foo will have yellow eyes and topaz stones. I’m thinking some koi pattern for the kirin, but we’ll see (I know this isn’t an uncommon motif, but I do love koi and I think I might have a more unusual pattern in mind than orange and white). He’s got a storm motif brewing in his mind for the Foo, knowing him, it will be very meticulous.
I’ll be documenting both here as we work on them. Nothing to look at yet, but we’re waiting patiently until a little later in the month to begin.
I sense this may become a regular hobby if things go well, this looks like so much fun.
EEE!

https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_nameCongratulations!! I am so excited for you, and I can’t wait to see the in-progress (and completed project!) photos. (Can’t wait to get to start doing this myself….)
I think even though the koi pattern is kind of common there is a reason for it. It just happens to look very nice, and I think that there’s a lot you can do with it. And since it is *your* statue, you can certainly go all out and do fantasy koirin patterns or whatever you’ve got in mind.
Good luck!! Painting these things is so much fun! 😀 I have two blanks right now sitting and staring at me, going “Paaaaint usss, paaaaint uss!!”

Hah, and quite a wait indeed. A couple busy weeks at work are keeping me distracted but I just can’t wait to begin!
We should be able to start some time next week, you guys are all so fantastic in your encouragement, thank you all!
Cat had an excellent birthday and we’re both ready to go now! I just bought some various paints this morning (I was a little low on my usual colors, I think I’ve been painting more than usual, and I needed some interference paint).
I think I’m going to get some better photos of these guys all blank before painting, but I’m hoping to get a base coat on mine this afternoon!
Err… not too much to look at yet but I’m happy with how things are coming along. Just an undercoat of color so far, I’m afraid this photo is making things look messier than they are.
I decided to go with a goldfish look. Still have a lot of detail to go.
Oh man I just finished painting up the details and I am so happy with this. Just needs a clear coat and the eyes and pad added now! I’ll get better photos that show off the iridescent scale details when it’s completed. Hm… needs a name too I suppose.
There are no words for how absolutely delighted I am with this! This is amazingly fun, and I’m so pleased with the result. The details of the sculpt and the solidity of the cast are an absolute joy to paint.
I will absolutely be painting more when I have a bit of income to spend on other sculpts.
Named for the species that her coloration belongs to, this goldfish colored Ki-Rin was painted with a combination of liquitex, golden, maimeri, and pebo acrylic paints including Pebo ‘DYNA’ orange for irridecent details on the scales. She is sealed with creamcoat gloss acrylic.
I’ll probably get more pictures on a sunnier day as well, to show off more of the nice iridescence. The Pebo ‘DYNA’ paints are not quite like Golden’s interference paints (they have a base color and do not become milky when applied heavily, however because of the colored body they do not wash as easily), but their effect is very shiny and pretty.
Very pretty! Congrats on such a great first PYO – it looks marvelous! How’s your partner’s Foo Father coming along? 🙂

Thank you very much! I’m very pleased and surprised at how things worked.
He just started tonight! I’ll post his once he has the first wash on, and then on from there. He’s enjoying things so far. It will probably take him longer than it did for me, given the bigger and more complex sculpt.
