I can try to take some pictures after my son goes to bed, but they won’t be as nice as indirect sunlight would be.
As I said the lighting in mu house sucks. I’ll try to take new pictures tomorrow when the sun is out.
He looks great! I love the yellow color.
I wish I could take pictures and format them like that! How do you make it so the smaller pictures don’t show a background around it?
Very nice!Thank you. I had fun mixing that yellow color up. I tried to get it close to the color of the belly on the Daffodil Kirin because that’s what my friend asked for. I also added some blue interference to the belly, horns and underside of the wings.
For the smaller pictures I go into photoshop and erase out the background. I probably could use the masking tool to do the same thing, but I don’t really remember how to do that any more.
I tried to take some new pictures outside this afternoon, but they totally misrepresented the color so the ones from the indoor shoot will have to do. It’s actually fairly close in color, but the base blue is actually a little richer shade of a blue.
Oh wow the blue is soo well painted well done! I just ordered my 2nd PYO! and some interference paints 😀 Almost $20 each though 😯
Well I’m starting to work on the birthstone kirins. I ordered a red eyed one for garnet, January’s birthstone. It’s almost finished, but there is something off about it.
The side scales aren’t quite that pink in real life, but they are lighter than I was intending them to be. 😕 I’m just not sure what to do to fix/improve it other than wait until I can go get some different paints next week. Anyone got any ideas/comment/constructive criticism?
I actually have done some antiquing of it. The fur looked a little to reddish to begin with so I went over it with some brown antiquing. What color would you recommend antiquing with and would you do the fur and the scales the same color?
I was thinking about that…do you have a bronze pearl or metallic paint?
I’d mix 2/3 bronze with 1/3 the red of the scales and antique the whole thing with it.
The color should end up a reddish bronze color, darker than copper, but redder than bronze…should look good, and tie it all together.
If you do it, and it looks terrible, you can kill me, but only figuratively. Mix up the color and test a section you can repaint and see what it does.

I actually have the metallic antique copper color that folk art paints makes. I was going back and forth between antiquing with that color or antiquing with the brown I ended up using. 😆 Guess I should have used the antique copper!
I’ll have to clearcoat the kirin again before I can do any more antiquing though. There were a few spots where the paint was trying to come off on me even though I clearcoated before and was gently using my fingers to wipe the brown antiquing away.
I think maybe add some contrast to it somewhere like the mane and tail. The brown on my laptop is close to the red.
But I can see the antiquing you did and it looks greatThere’s a reason the brown looks close to the red. I mixed up the color for the side scales and then painted them. I had paint left over and knew I wanted to do the belly and accent scales in a darker version so I made it darker by adding some dark purple (almost black). Then I still had paint left over so I added brown to it for the fur. 😆 Talk about not letting anything go to waste.
And do you mean contrast as in a lighter color or darker?
