I really like both of them, the ki-rin definately needs some dark(er) on the scales, but I’m sure you’re working on that and he/she will come out beautifully!

Yeah… that will be finished off tonight. 😀 her scales are still the white primer…

Now… you know… that IS something I’ve been wondering… what gender is the Ki-Rin? Young Male?

I wonder because the original female Ki-Rin has such a slick head… no evidense of a *mane* at all… whereas the male has a very fluffy *mane* around his neck…

I haven’t read anywhere what gender it is… it could be somewhere… 😆

As far as the gryphon’s white patch on the belly goes… I kinda liked it being that small… it was originally smaller… but it kept growing…

Do you really think I should make it bigger?

[Skigod377]

Im just a beginner. I would get more opinions. It looks good as it is… just a little small to me. If you like it, thats whats important.

Very nice. The griffin looks much better with the cream. I love how your Ki-rin looks so far. Can’t wait to see the final pics on that one.

Okey dokey guys! Enjoy the eye candy!!

They’ll probably be on ebay this weekend methinks! Here’s hoping!

Here’s the Gryphon… She definately had a mind of her own in the end… 😯

The camera had a hard time picking it up… but there are bronze highlights here and there to make her sparkle a bit. ^.^

And… the Ki-Rin!! 😀 He’s gonna be hard to give up methinks… I really like how he turned out…

What you really can’t tell… is just how the light plays with the interference colors on the Ki-Rin… the red scales shine green… and the white scales shine purple/red… and the gold on the neck and belly scales… Stupid camera. 😛 I’ll try to get better pics tomorrow… cause these pics REALLY don’t do him justice!!

I can’t WAIT to get my hands on more of these! They were so much fun… a GREAT release. I can’t wait till the Wolves arrive on Monday or Tuesday…

Only thing… I’m SO used to spraying my horses with Dullcote… to give them a nice flat finish… I just can’t decide if I should do that to these guys.. and then gloss things like beaks, claws etc… or leave them the semi-gloss finish which is similar to a Windstone finish… Hum….

You did a really great job on those, Lady. They harmonize nicely with each other, too. I like!

SO PRETTY!!!!! I LOVE the spotty scales on your kirin!!!

[ladybrooklyn]

Thanks guys. :DI really appreciate it!

I really can’t wait to get more of these guys (hopefully for Xmas! ^.^) and paint them up! I have so many ideas!!! Like turning my cats into Gryphons. 😀 My cat Missy will make a very interesting Gryphon… 😈

At any rate… these two are on ebay now!!

Somehow I missed this one. 😀

Though I am glad it’s FINALLY starting to feel the right temp for the season!!! 😀

Our weather is seriously like “Jekyle and Hyde” here! One week we’re 80*… next were 50/40!!!

[Skigod377]

Had to pull this up from the grave! I just got the griffin today and the pics do not do it justice! Your wings are AMAZING and the depth in the feathers is incredible! I really got a sweet deal and am sooooo glad I won this guy! This is what I am picturing when I want to do my wings and it just never gets like this. Maybe now that I can see it up close, I can pull it off 😆 Wonderful!!! Thank you!!
