Just to reiterate… these ebayed test painted griffins are not necessarily one-of-a-kinds in color scheme, though these have all been painted individually, and are not part of a batch of griffins that are all the same. Any of these colors may possibly be similar to a color we use on a production batch of griffins some day.
Which is fine by me! I really wanted the barred-wing mother griffin #3, but so did other people! I don’t know if she was one of the ones you referred to as “weird” test paints, but I thought she was utterly gorgeous. 😀 Those shaded browns, that dark mask around her eyes, and that fabulous violet flashing on her wings! The effect of the violet interference against those browns was superb. If you ever decide to experiment in that direction again, I’d be delighted!
