What’s next on the list? 😉 I so love keeping up with this thread! Your work always manages to brighten my day <3
Aw, thank you all so much, you guys really are the best!
Here’s the cat update, finally finished painting, now I just need to decide between glossy or matte. We’ll see!
Zexious: Aw you’re a doll! I’ve been thinking about maybe doing another Oriental dragon, but we’ll see since they take a lot of time, what with painting every scale. But that’s what I’m probably going to tackle next, but who knows with me x’D

Not currently open for PYO commissions.It looks awesome! I think a satin finish would be nice on it with a little shine, but not too much!
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
I agree, satin would be nice. You can also think about finishing the “textile” parts in satin/gloss and the “fur” parts in matte. (Though the nose and tongue should be glossy!)

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmBeautiful and super cute! I loved seeing the wip pics turn into this lovely finished piece. Also love all the fine details and the color choices. This piece was already gorgeous when it was half finished. Lol
I’m typically partial to gloss, but I think I’m on the satin finish train this time around! She’s just beautiful, and will look stunning no matter what you choose!
I really want to purchase a PYO of my own, but I’m so noncommittal when it comes to finishing projects. I’d hate for something so pretty to sit around my condo 1/8th finished D:

But you can work on it on and off – there’s really not time limit! It once took me 2 years to finish a keeper (though the scheme I’d picked was to blame really – me, procrastinate? Nah!)

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSuch a beautiful and stunning work of art !!
Thank you so very much for sharing her progress photos along her journey from a blank PYO to such a gorgeous piece, with beautiful pastels, with such precise detail on the pretty flowers, so perfectly done !!
Warm Hugs !!Thank you all for the kind words!
Zexious: You should totally do it! It doesn’t matter how long it takes to finish, as long as you’re happy you’re doing it. And when you DO finish it, you’ll feel so accomplished! And really, even when the PYOs aren’t finished you can still enjoy and admire Melody’s workmanship of the sculpt, they’re really a beauty even when unpainted.

Not currently open for PYO commissions.HaHa! I started a PYO Keeper three years ago and he’s still sitting on my dresser patiently waiting for me to get past his base coat…. one of these years. Maybe when I retire and have the time in three more… LOL!
IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:
Black Peacock & Butternut Adult Poads
Kickstarter 'Rainbow Tiger' Bantam Dragon*~*~*~* Ela_Hara: The DragonKeeper *~*~*~*
*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comIt took me about five years to finish my rooster phoenix! He ended up getting pushed to the backburner for other pyos, then I completely lost interest in him until many years later I picked him back up and finished him. And, as someone that always sells their pyos, I can say I like him too much to ever sell him 🙂 So definitely get a pyo if you want!
I’m so excited about the sushi cat! He looks perfect 😀 I’m amazed by the amount of patience it must have taken.
You all make a great point! I ask what paints you typically use? Acrylics?
I use a variety of brands, I have some Apple Barrel,Americana, other random craft paint. I also have some more slightly more expensive brands like Golden fluid acrylics and I have two liquitex(soft body) paints. Use whatever you got I say!
