Very nice.
As for sealing it depends on if you use a spray on type or a brush on type whether or not you need to cover the eyes and jewels. When I used a spray on sealer I covered them with tape. Lately I’ve been using a brush on sealer so no covering is required. I always put the felt pad on last after everything is all dried and after I sign the pad…kind of hard to sign other wise.

Can you recommend a brush on sealer? I have a Micheals and JoAnn store close by. There is also a speacialy art store downtown. Also, do you put it on thick? or thin? and how many coats? (trying to learn things on this one, before I paint some I plan to sell)

I have a small bottle of liquitex gloss medium and varnish that I use because if I want to mix some of the interference powders in with it I can. It’s a glossy finish though. I try to put it on thin (because the product is THICK) and then once it dies look to see if there are spots that need touching up.
No problem. If you want to use a spray on sealer at some point Krylon is really good and you can usually find it with the spray paints. It comes in different finishes too.
One new WIP PYO ^^
EDIT: Got the head to start looking okay, and painted on his leopard spots <3Here’s hoping it’ll turn out the way I want it to ^^;

The Griff is based on a purple/blue headed hummingbird/black leopard

This rockhound also loves fluorite! I can’t wait to see him done! 🙂
Love your paint job on the dragon and can’t wait to see the griffin and kirin when they’re finished! Looks like rich colors on that griffin–all these people here doing such great jobs on their first PYOs. 🙂

Well, if you don’t I am always up for single trades! 😉 😀finnished the Flourite inspired KiRin:
I still need to seal it, and am kinda scared to : I have the golden brush on sealent, but just a bit nervous if the weather is ok and such…I don’t want to mess it up 🙄
I might have to sell this one ;_; we’ll see what happens in Hubby’s next paycheck…www.nakaseart.com
