Ohh I can’t wait to see Leigha’s pink Emperor, I bet he looks awsome, I’m sure Leigha will be excited to see the pics and to get her Emperor… 😉

I would say at this point, that Emperor is definately a she…and believe it or not, the color really looks good and it looks very feminine now.
I really like how it turned out and I am not a fan of pink, but I really like it.
Her base color is a champagne ivory color, then I layered on hot pink, but it isn’t as bright when airbrushed, thank goodness…then I laid in some purple, then went back over sections with the original champagne, then made a really light pink and did some blending. I used Declo gold on her, and painted her horns with Golden bright gold, making them lighter than the accents and claws.
Leigha darling, please don’t break this dragon now, I don’t think I can duplicate the colors!
Anyway, with the blue eyes and light aqua stones that come in a Peacock, this color combination really worked well.
I may not post this repaint publically, since I know Windstone really frowns on it, but perhaps for a day or two they will look the other way. I’ll post it tomorrow, so everyone has a chance to see, then take the link out…if you miss it, just PM me.
I was surprised how quickly I was able to paint this with my airbrush. The only handwork on her is the gold stuff and her wings. So I cheated a lot on this one.

Yeah I wasn’t sure if I should have said he or she but if you say the Emperor looks very feminine than let it be a she… 😀 and in your description Kyrin she sounds like she looks great, I’ll be watching for her tomm…
Leigha now you will be the only one here with a Feminine Emperor… 😉

Well pictures may be awhile, my camera is missing.
Also, talked to Melody, those of you waiting on paints, she says it will be a few more weeks yet before they can get to the paints. She apologizes for the delay. I will let you guys know when she’s been able to find them and your pieces are ready.
For now, I will be working on the things I can either paint match, or already have the colors for…
Many pieces are already repaired and waiting on paints, so like I said, when the paints get here, I will let you guys know.

Emperor’s can’t be she.. That is what the Empress name is for. I’m confused. It wsa thinking you repainted and Emperor in Pink. I thought you cold not repaint a production piece without getting in trouble with the tredemark?? I thought that was the problem with Mama??

It is not strictly forbidden, just frowned upon, and if I were to do this all the time, they would clobber me. However, on a piece that was broken, often they will look the other way if it is repainted, though of course they would prefer that it be restored.
Leigha knows that pink is not likely to ever be a production color for this sculpture, so when she got this dragon already broken, she figured she would have me fix it and repaint it.
The rules on repainting are kinda fuzzy…I will definately be marking it clearly that this piece was repainted, when and by whom…so should this piece ever leave Leigha’s possession, there will be no doubt that it isn’t a production or otherwise type Windstone.
That is also why when I do post the pictures, they won’t stay up long.

Very good to know in case I ever get broken Wiindstones
I actually have an idea now for a Mouse Wizard with a missing foot and Black Marker on the pad. HHHMMM….Okay, I’ve been asked to take the photo down, if you would like to see this dragon, PM me.
This picture doesn’t do it justice, alot of the subtler pinks were washed out altogether, and the purple isn’t really this dark. This was all done in pearl paints.
I was worried that it was too similar to Jenn’s Conch shell Keeper, but I don’t think it is after a bit of study, though the colors might seem similar in this photo, her colors were a bit darker, this dragon is actually a really soft pink with really light lavender sides, but I had to up the contrast just to get it to show even a little of the pink.
This is a definately see in person kind of thing, darn camera isn’t worth a damn.
Man, I hate this photo…I’m looking at it and the dragon sitting here on the desk and the colors aren’t even close…I really need a newer camera, this one is too outdated and can’t seem to pick up colors well.
Okay, I fiddled with it in photoshop…it is now a lot more accurate. You gotta love photoshop!

Empress in this case, the sculpt isn’t locked in on gender you know. Since most men won’t be caught dead in pink, I think that this one is a girl. 🙂
