That’s awesome detailing! I may not notice things like that in pictures, but I sure notice them in RL.
My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.
Thank ya guys! I love little details too, even if the aren’t immediately visible, I think they can be fun lil discoveries.

How long does it generally take you to complete a piece from start to finish?It really varies from piece to piece, I think one I finished a Kitsune in a week and half, but it took me more than a month of constant painting to finish a oriental dragon.

Not currently open for PYO commissions.Currently working on the ‘mane’, next with be ombre-ing the fins. My question to you guys is: Does the ‘mane’ look weird or off in comparison to the body/tail? My usual instinct is always to go matchy matchy with the mane and tail/fish parts, but I wanted to try something different by making the mane part less green but not sure how it’s working together, should I go more green? Thoughts and opinions?

Not currently open for PYO commissions.The way you have it works well, tying together the mammal and fish parts (IMHO).

I’m glad you think so, that was my hope it would come across that way. Maybe once I finish painting all the fins that will really help too.

Not currently open for PYO commissions.I like how you have the mane. I think it is all tying together really well. Can’t wait to see it when you get it all done!
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"I think the mane is good the way it is, and the hippocampus is looking very pretty. 🙂 Matching the mane to the tail would be a LOT of green. You don’t want to overwhelm the lighter horse section (in my opinion).
Thanks you guys, that makes me feel better about the direction I’m going in!
Etruscan- Before I tried this direction I had actually painted the mane all green to match the tail but didn’t love it, since it did really overwhelm the light grey. But then I wondered if I had gone too much in the other direction with not enough green…but now I’m feeling better about it!

Not currently open for PYO commissions.I like the ombre effect on the mane! If you wanted to bring a little more green to the front half, you could tuck some green gems into the swirls, but otherwise leave it alone.
Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).
Thank you Nightcrow & Zexious!
I think she’s really coming together now, won’t be long before I’m finished with this one. And I already am craving a Kitsune PYO to paint next, maybe more than one even, hehe.

Not currently open for PYO commissions.Yay, finally done!! I’ve finished Ophelia! I’m very pleased, I think this is the first Hipp I’ve done in all matte finally, I think the other ones were half matte half glossy? I think all the dark colors in matte make the whole piece much more dramatic, like an old painting.
Also, does anyone else have a problem with one of the eyes not fitting as deep in the socket of this sculpt? I always seem to have Hipp’s that have one eye that just doesn’t sit in as far as the other side.
All I need to do now is wait for a nice bright day to take outdoor pics! But these cellphone ones will do for now.

Not currently open for PYO commissions.She is beautiful! I think she turned out great!
And yes I’ve had eyes seem to sit at different depths on a few sculpts. Most noticeable for me recently was the PYO Oriental Dragon. But I’ve had that issue with the hipp too.
Looking for:
