It also looks as though there is a dip in the first knob on his cheek. Maybe a bubble in the casting? I wonder whether this is a photo of one of the knock-off dragons. Some of them have the proportions and details distorted.
That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe one of those ash grey knockoffs, supposed to be cast from volcanic ash or somesuch? Only difference from them is usually the mold is made from a sculpt with the eyes intact, resulting in a molded-in eye that’s painted. The eye in this one doesn’t look like a Windstone eye either.
February 20, 2021 at 2:33 pm #1637281I don’t know the answer for this etsy listing – the description says “A handsome young green dragon gazes into the fire pit surrounded by fog. Design created by Kelly Larson of Eos & Eir Twisted Nature Creations from pieces of other photos she has taken. …”
If someone takes an original photo of a Windstone dragon and then uses that photo in her design (without crediting Windstone), what is the copyright status?

February 20, 2021 at 5:45 pm #1637295Sounds like a question for John. He would know.
My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

I posted a link to the item in question, I think, from Esty a few posts back.
Woe unto ye that angers a dragon to flame!
March 2, 2021 at 6:37 pm #1637938I just came across this. Looks like one of Melody’s drawings.

March 3, 2021 at 7:52 am #1637954So I have had this small green dragon in my collection for 15 years or more, he came with a job lot of small cute kid friendly dragons that we used to sale at boot fairs. Something about this dragon always had me thinking that he is a bit like a Windstone. Same sort of scales and the way the tail loops around d his body, even a jewel on the forehead. There is even a blank part where a signature stamp would be. The bottom says Made In China.
Like I said, this is an old dragon but would like to know what others think.
I Would love an Old Warrior one day.. any Old Warrior!
March 3, 2021 at 11:26 am #1637964You’re right – he does seem to include pieces from Windstone dragons. Maybe a heavily modified mash-up of a Young dragon and a Male dragon?
March 6, 2021 at 10:20 am #1638138Good afternoon,
This popped up on my Facebook feed and I don’t know(doubtful but could be wrong)if they have permission to use this image.Diamond art dragon
March 6, 2021 at 6:42 pm #1638152I can just about guarantee they don’t. That needs to be reported to John – john@windstoneeditions.com

April 1, 2021 at 6:33 pm #1639226A not-quite-right circle of cats that the seller is attributing to Windstone. I have messaged him (or her) that it is not a Windstone.
April 27, 2021 at 4:48 pm #1640399Just found this one today. Sent it to John. https://crowdwall.net/products/you-dont-need-the-size-of-a-dragon-to-have-a-soul-of-a-dragon-mug?fbclid=IwAR0nwnzeV27–AcqRklVdPG53bEVhTWmUripkP1jlgh0tCV13Rc-8a1-uTM
June 3, 2021 at 9:43 pm #1642313There are a couple of Windstone dinos listed on eBay by red-rose-Japan. The triceratops looks legit, but the velociraptor is a knock-off. It has painted eyes and a brown felt pad.

been reporting those Velocirators to Ebay, they seem to poof if enough people report them but they show up again later…so I report, check a week or two later then report the new ones….saying something along the line of “Windstone uses glass eyes and stamps their name on the felt bottom, this has neither” seems to work…..I reported the two up now a few hours ago…..
4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinJune 17, 2021 at 12:26 pm #1643106This one popped up in the Facebook Marketplace. It’s another of those diamond painting things that has stolen Windstone dragon images on it.
