Hmm most of them I think are genderless but speaking as a horse person, I expect different anatomy in subtle ways out of a female horse versus a male horse (thicker neck, higher crest etc.) Thats by no means a hard and fast rule, but the unicorn DOES look female to me as a result.

Thank you… thank you very much (ok so you cant hear my Elvis from over there) 😉 Yup, he just spreads out where ever and when ever… and often! Lives in that position he does. Can you see us arguing over the remote control? 😈 Only takes flight when he jumps up onto the counter to holler at me for more food (not unlike he’s doing at the moment)! Despite his girth, he’s quite the active Buddha belly. Tears it up… usually at 4am but tears it up nonetheless. Still, very UN Phoenix like as they are birds which, regardless of gender are graceful. They glide down to their destinations… my Phoenix, he thuds!
I like the idea of the PYOs being without gender too. Leave it up to the artist to decide. Thats cool and part of the process and emotional journey (Id imagein) that one goes through when they get into creating a piece.
With regard to the unicorn PYO, I think most jumped to calling it a “she” because the original Windstone piece for sale was kneeling and close to that mold was a female. And the males were always up and bold, showing bravado (and had the little – er, the word escapes me for the moment- “beard” for lack of the missing word, under their chins). The PYO doesnt. But again, if the artist identifies with the piece as a male while doing it, or the owner (after sale) feels a masculine vibe from it after finished work, hey, more power to ya. There is no right or wrong and thats the beauty.

If the horse is gelded at a young age, he’ll never get those “masculine” features.
I took many a horse classes and was in a riding academy for a long time 😛True, like I said not a hard and fast rule and i tend not to apply too much regular anatomy to fantastical creatures, but yah 😉
Also, if we’re going by features, all the pyo Ki-Rin would be male because of his mane, but that doesn’t stop people from painting “female” ones 😛
Melody,
Although I know you’re making the Phoenix as a PYO (I still love the protype you’re working on), have you thought about maybe doing a limited production (or regular production) Phoenix with spectral eyes? That might make the piece too large, or the cyrstals might be too large for eyes, but the visual effect would be spectatular.

A Phoenix with the spectral eyes would end up being as large as the Spectral dragons. That would be ok, I guess. Small Chicken size.Melody wrote:SilverArrow wrote:Melody,

My art: featherdust.comI just thought… “Wait, am I dooming myself here?” I tend to get handed things with feathers to paint…
Oh what the heck, I’d probably enjoy it. At least the first time.Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com

You sure spectral eyes wouldn’t just make it creepy lookin’?
No no. Spectral eyes are the best. 😀
Has Melody posted a picture of the PYO phoenix yet? I’d like to see it.
