🙂 Here’s a more current shot…I had some insomnia last night as well, and worked alot on the back side of her detailing. If this girl is produced…it would be a resin reproduction…as her dorsal crest is much too delicate for a plaster casting, but resin would be quite sturdy (and I wouldnt have to do it!). I actually already have a resin caster who likes my work..and I’ve examined their castings in person. They do beautiful and quality work. She would end up being my debut to resin cast dragons. Soooooo, I’m gonna keep right on trucking with her detailing, and hope she gets enough interest that I can afford to produce her in resin. I would…once the sculpt is complete…most likely test the waters by putting up a pre order interest list or poll.
That would be neat to see in resin! 😀
How does that work with painting? Would you get back a batch of blanks and paint them yourself, or does it work differently?
it works the same…I’d receive back the blank castings, which I could then paint however I like. Resin is heavy, dense and sturdy stuff, and can be painted much the same as the plaster, but resin doesnt absorb paint, so the painter has to be cautious about applying too much. It airbrushes beautifully, as I’ve painted resin horses before, and as a sculptor it gives me more freedom with what I can do. 🙂
um…..no. I would be painting the castings and selling them. At this point, I really have no plans to do any sort of paint your own pieces. That particular feature is something that is unique to windstone…and I really dont want to tread on toes. So, my caster would be sending me the blank resin castings…rather than me casting everything myself, which I would then paint, and sell like normal. 🙂 sorry for the confusion.
Ohh I see…sorry about that 😳 I still think she gorgeous…and she’ll be stunning once you paint her… 🙂

I am thinking of doing a tiger color for PC’s Tatzle Cat. something simaler to the fire tiger and magpie tiger. but in order to be able to paint one,I need to know if any one would be willing to buy a tatzle cat painted like that, since they cost more to cast and currently there are no spare castings of them to play with.
I will only be able to try painting this while I am out here at pc’s since shipping blank ones to me once i return to cali will be a pita for shipping cost.
A tiger color sounds interesting. What would be the cost?
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!

I love it. Especially the dorsal crest. Makes me think of a sea serpent. I can just see this one towering over a Viking dragon ship. I want one of these!
thank you! I have started her midsection, and have a pic up in my blog entry, here’s a link http://purpletabby.livejournal.com/150217.html She’s got a loooong way to go yet, I intend on giving her very fine detailing on the scales yet. The tail will wrap up and touch the midsection as well, and she’ll be one piece when done.

That sounds like a neat idea. I have a tatzel and I love him! However, I couldn’t afford to get another one any time soon 🙁
