Hi all! I got bitten by the PYO bug some time ago, but it’s taken me forever to finally get shots of this big fella online.
His inspiration was a clouded leopard, with the wings being a little bit spotted owl. He’s got copper and champagne-colored metallic paint on portions of his spots and the tips of some feathers, just for a little sparkle. UV-proof matte finish to seal it all in!
Please tell me what you guys think! I’m considering opening up for commissions, with my payment being an extra blank PYO. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll put a post up in the commissions board on the flea market forum. Thanks!

NOOOOOOOOO!
I started doing mine as a clouded leopard 🙁
But the spots on mine are a little different so maybe I’ll continue to do him as such.
I’ll just have to make sure he is very different elsewhere too. 😉Sorry Blackdesertwind! I’ve had mine painted up for quite a while. I actually wanted the upper body to turn out a lot more leopard-y, but this is how he ended up, and I can’t complain. The spots and stripes around the eye are leopard-inspired too. Good luck with yours though, I’d love to see pics when it’s done!

Thanks! It’s REALLY hard to get the details of this guy down in photos. The back of the wings looks kinda scuffy, especially at the top. I drybrushed some accents on, and then softened them with a clean brush. I tried to do the same with the eyespots, but it didn’t work as well.

Okay, I couldn’t help it. I’d really love to paint some more PYOs, even if they’re not mine! So I posted an entry in the commissions board over on the Flea Market forum. Basically I’m taking a blank PYO as payment for a commission! So you’d order two, and get yours back painted up as you like it, in return. PM or respond here if you’re interested!

When I’m done I’ll post them but it will be in the fall. Don’t have time to paint in the summer…between entertaining my physicaly challenged son, gadens and mowing the lawn 🙄 …too busy. At least in the fall and winter I don’t have to take care of the outdoors and my son is in school…more time. 😉
