I did get a headache painting all those stripes. Had to do them in one hour stretches. Fortunately for me it’s a color I don’t have to remix everytime.
I haven’t decided if I’m going to add more color or not. I’m planning on antiquing the hands and beak with a slightly darker yellow orange. I am considering going over at least the feathers with the pearl ex interference blue powder that I have to give it a subtle shimmer (Griffin has medium blue eyes).
I tried to be neat with the banding stripes, but looking at the pictures I can see some of them got a little sloppy. Why is it that you can’t see the sloppy on the sculpt in person, but when you look at pictures you can see it then?
the sloppy will go away once you antique it….and add whatever color…
it makes it look more natural….
They NEVER look as good in pics as they do in person! Your griff is an eyecatcher with all those stripes. 😀
Antiquing on the claws and beak will really help them appear more “rounded” and less plastic. Pearlex on the feathers would help round him out too.
Presenting the March Birthstone Kirin – Aquamarine #1!
My camera did a number on the scale color so I’ve included another shot that is a little more accurate on the color. It’s hard to tell, but he was painted in white and then antiqued with winter white. Will be up for offers in the flea market shortly.
Thanks everyone. Aquamarine was fun to paint, even if the paint color started out a little wrong for the eyes. It was too green. I had to add some blue to it, but you can still see the hints of green through the blue.
Wow, how pretty!

While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
