wow. i am in complete awe of his beauty.
you are a remarkable artist.

how long did it take you to paint each of those feathers?

[Jennifer]

It took a long time! Gosh, another thread, wow, thanks guys! I’m so floored everyone loves him so much.

I made a video of me working on him, it’s super dumb!! I feel like a huge idiot. We were going to save it and put it and put it on the auction to give bidders a bit of insight into what I do, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt anything to post it now right?
I get really nervous when ‘public’ speaking so forgive how dumb I sound.

So, it’s basically that, on each feather, maybe… 10 times? Takes forever. There are about 8-12 thin thin layers of paint on each feather, and the wing feathers took longer because of the banding.

I have him on a lazy susan, that’s how I can spin him. I put some mat board behind him to block out the glare from my windows.

I’m working on his woman right now!

Wow, he’s beautiful!

Thanks for sharing the video with us — its really neat to see you painting. And it gives me a much better appreciation of how much work goes into these guys! I didn’t know the brushes involved were so small. 😯

I will say he looks beautiful though

No, I have no idea what DM’s secret is! 😯 I can’t paint them fast enough to be production pieces, these are hand painted and take about a million years to do. They will be individually listed on eBay, like the Prototype Old Warriors and the Secret Keepers. 🙂
I hope for you he does go for as much as a SK

what size brush is that Nam? It looks tinier than my 0 , is it a 00?

There’s only one sun griffin and one moon griffin, right? Or will you be making multiples?

We have to choose our wording carefully. The way I work, there is no way I could paint another griffin just like this- so in a sense he is hand painted and ‘one of a kind’. However we don’t want to box ourselves in and have a problem should I ever do one that is similar to this one (or if ‘da boss asks me to) so I want to be real clear that there could be one similar to this in the future, however I don’t have intentions of doing so now. I hope that makes sense?? We don’t want anyone to have bad feelings about getting a OOAK piece if I ever do something similar in the future, so we don’t use that specific term.
I understand perfectly

That video was great! My boyfriend and I just watched it and right after I said “This is so much better then watching Bob Ross” you said you weren’t as exciting and we both had a laugh. Really beautiful Nam, you AMAZE me!!!

Nam — I really love this color scheme! Is the female moon griffin also going to have this same color scheme? Are you planning to paint griffin chicks with this color scheme also?

[Pamela]

Wow! He is really magnificent! I can’t wait to see the female.
