I really love the the snowleopard 😯 . Out of all the big cats they are one of my favs. By the way, you are an exellent painter 😉 .
I love the koi-rin. So colorful!!!
The griffin is really good too, I can’t wait until PYO’s are back in the store.
Here are some things I’m working on that are coming up…
First, I have a very tropical Muse (my first). Please forgive her blindness. She thought the sun was so bright, that she would take her eyes out to keep her from going blind! 😯 (ok, I really just scrubbed the first bit of paint off her when I changed color of her hair in the beginning from brown to it’s current color of marine greeny-blues and her eyes weren’t going to stay) I actually did a lot more over the weekend and the side scales need some touching up, but he is coming along. His head scales are now browns, like a little pebbley beach, his belly scales are purples and blues and interference on them, his wingy thing on his back is blue with pearlescence and orange interference overlay. His hair below his face is now yellow and his beak is kinda like a toucan! The front feathers are supposed to be sort of peacock like.
Next I have a PYO Unicorn (my first!), that I am trying to paint using mostly pastels (also my first!). She’s getting there! I still have 2-3 more coats on the body, then I have the legs, face and mane/tail to work on. If the weather holds, I’ll have her done in the about a week. She certainly is a learning experience and it’s fun exploring equine anatomy, with all the little muscle highlights and such. I’ve found I’m less messy with my workspace using pastels too! 😆 She has 10 coats (airbrushed white), and 9 layers of pastels thus far. I’m proud of how she is coming out! 😀
Also working on a dragon that I started a while ago (kinda like the Lunar dragon I did, only with purples…). She should also be complete in the next week as well, so I may hold off until then for her pics. I’ll get to work on my swap when I have a piece… nothing in the mail yet, so I think I’ll be working on that one in the last week exclusively.
More pics this weekend or early next week.
That unicorn is gorgeous! I’m still wondering what to do with my unicorn for my…. um…. parents? Grandparents? I have no idea what was supposed to go to whom anymore….
With pastels, can you spray a topcoat on after? Or do you just have to never touch the thing because pastels come off if you breathe on them wrong?
Just curious you can get such softer effects with pastels, I’m thinking of trying it 😀
Wow! Gorgeous. I don’t have the talent or patience for such things. But I certainly enjoy looking at other people’s stuff.
Woah!!! They’re both BEAUTIFUL!!! Great job hun!
Got a busted Windstone?

YES! You actually spray a clearcoat over EVERY layer of pastels. In the pictures, I have 9 layers of pastels and dappling applied. I sprayed after each layer. If you don’t, the layers would just mush together and not be very effective. It also allows you to handle the piece afterward. It just takes time to allow each coat to dry (at least 20-30 minutes). I’ve been trying to take advantage of the decent weather recently (since you can’t spray when it is too humid or wet out either – too much moisture). It’s not a method I can use too effectively in the winter here, for lack of a warm enough place to spray.
