That wolf is stunning! Is there a reason you only put banding on one feather though?

My art: featherdust.comoh ho hooooooo the banding on one feather! lol! the source of my anxiety! boy this was tough! it still bothers me big time too! originally that feather was just plain, but i felt it needed something, so i put some banding on the feathers.. it got too crazy on all of them, (not to mention i’m not super at the bands yet), but it looked too crazy. i tried it one the one and it seemed to give a little accent but not too much. but i was like, this is a little funny on just one isn’t it, hmmmmmmmmmm. now, the photo DOES make the banding look more (a lot more) pronounced than it is, as it blends in with the shine and highlights, but i did get a little shock when i sealed it, as it was only half as intense before hand! i forgot what a dramatic change sealing creates, flattening the paint n all!
i do feel it is too intense and i think i only should have had half the bands and they should have been thinner or at least not as dark. then it would have been just a subtle accent to punch up the last feather. i just didn’t want the bands to be streaky when i sealed em so then i ended up making the real solid black. oooh, oh my i could have done them in the dark silver! bahhhh! slaps forehead! what was i thinking!? egad! lol! ha ha!hmm well, what do you think?
ok, i am thinking i will post on the auction that whoever wins it that i can fix the wings per how they would like it, just in case it was bugging them…either by removing all or half the bands, going over them with the dark silver to be more subtle or whatever. that might make me feel better.not that i really want to deal with that area again though! ugh! i have painted over sealant and resealed over it with no problems before, so i’m not worried about that looking funny.
glad you like em though guys, i was all kinds of nervous.. everybodys’ pieces are always so good and everyone has been making such great progress! i’m so happy for everyone when i see you do better and better on each next piece; its exciting cuz i know how excited i’d be myself, i’d be so proud. i ‘m so happy for everyone because they are not easy to paint and peeps could get really discouraged or broken down by their experiences painting these! y’all are tough! heck, i still can’t get over my griffin painting experience! i am still recovering from that trauma from months ago, thats a tough piece for me!Don’t belittle your talent either! Your work is completely amazing and your photographs are also awesome since they can capture the subtlties in your work as well as Nam’s or even Windstone’s photos. That’s just stunning and so lifelike. I so envious of your camera or something I could just roar. But as for the paint jobs I love them both, though the dragon sticks out in my mind. I’d love to own that but know it will go too high for me. It almost looks like it was painted in chrome. You say you painted it flat black first and then did each scale or drybrushed them over lightly? That’s amazing!
The banding on that feather is the only thing that makes me iffy on that wolf…I think I would love it without that banding! Just to toss in my opinion.

-J R R TolkienDang… Drag0n is all over this dragon. I thought I would be high bidder for a while, but I was wrong. I figured I would put in a better bid since I lost out on Waters dragon, but Noooooo… ol Kakapoo-42 has to defy me!
Kakapo-no.42 is me!! 😈 BWA HAHAHAHA!

Huh? Wha? That thing shot up there! Congrats TF, but I didn’t bid Ski, I was going to but then I saw how high it shot! LOL! The same person who is bidding on that was biding one mine =)

arlla you are incredible woman my god! 😳 😯 wow! i owe you a foot rub or something!
hmmmmm, do you think i should offer on the auction to fix the funny wolf feather, or just pull it and fix it and repost it?I’d say just alter the auction text if you can, no reason to pull the auction itself. And did I miss this thread…I did notice certain names on ebay that seem to just bump bids up on auctions…but is this a person who just is unlucky and can’t win any or someone that is only bidding to jack the auction rates?
ok . i pulled the wolf totally and i am removing those bands as we speak. at the latest he will be back on tomorrow evening, but hopefully he will be back tonight! i think i will feel better this way, he won’t look off balance. 🙂
What can I say, I want him! ^_^ He’s going up pretty fast, though….If he goes out of my range, would you be willing to make me another?? *puppy dog eyes*

-J R R Tolkienoh sure, i’d be happy to arlla! i could do it with a different color too in place of the blue, like a purple in the same tone as the blue, but then there are no purple eyes to match. hmmm. the blue eyes go so well with the blue paint- i think the blue is pretty sharp in general and holds together best. whatever honks your hooter though- it would be my pleasure and priviledge (hmm spelling, duh) to hook you up! i’d just need to order another pyo, as i have no more dragons, but thats no big deal if you don’t mind a little delay.. also, now that i did that dragon already, it will come out that much better second time around, i imagine. i’d be fully prepared for all the challenging areas this time! 😉 whatever you like, my dear.
