        Haha. I had taken a picture of my gold curlie in my jewelry box for this. Great minds think alike! XD I’ll scratch that one, since we already have one gold dragon with jewels!

          It’s one photo per collector so you should still include it! πŸ™‚

            Hmm, I might…but I have another idea for my Blackfire Kirin that I think everyone would like just as well, anyhoo!

                  Hehe, yeah. I bought it off the original winner ah…I’m not sure how long ago. A year or two? So it wasn’t I that beat you, if you were bidding on the auction. XD I don’t think I was even in the Windstone game yet, when it was originally sold!

                    Gosh this turned into a process!

                    I packed up mucho $$$ worth of Windstones and brought them back to my mom’s property in the hills, spent 2 hours sweating in the heat wave and hiking all over about 50 acres getting good places to set up scenes, and got some great photos. Made it worth the risk of making these pristine sculptures look like they’re supposed to be sitting in the dirt!

                    Until my camera card corrupted as I was packing everything up.

                    @_@

                    I cried.

                    BUT! After an awful, long drive back home, I was able to recover almost everything with a little googling around to see if it could be fixed. Huzzah!

                    It took forever to decide which shots to use. I think I’ve picked my three, but there’s a few others I can’t decide on! Would love opinions/critique. <3

                    Top 3 I'm thinking to enter:



                    And alternates:

                      Wow Chris those are all GORGEOUS I absolutely love the kirin one. They look so real hiding away.

                      The kirin and sun ones you picked are great choices, I mean I like them all but those are the most real. I kind of like the second frog one better only because there is a real frog in the photo with him. And the angle is cute with the huge eyes. But either would be awesome. <3

                      And yay! for being able to recover the photos. That would have been awful πŸ™

                        This one is my favorite πŸ™‚

                        I also like the first frog prince you posted

                          Chris. I know what you mean about “a process”!!! I packed a bunch of mine and went on a hiking trip twice!!! I definitly put a lot of effort in this whole thing but I’ve been really disappointed in the shots I got. I’m hoping to get mine posted soon!
                          My favorite of yours is definitly the kirins! That shot is just beautiful!!! I have to apologize now though cause I am submitting 1 picture with my goth uni as you have πŸ™
                          I spent 3 weeks on building a scene just for that sculpt to submit for the calendar so I’m definitly going to post it. I’m not too happy with my camera right now though so I’m having focus problems and mine may be a complete wash!
                          The kirins though is truely awesome!!!

                            Oh please go ahead and post it! If someone else submits the same sculpt I took pics of I wouldn’t mind. πŸ™‚ And you definitely inspired me to get off my butt and take some proper pics, when I saw your Grand Uni photos! Can’t wait to see your Goth.

                            I kind of like the second frog one better only because there is a real frog in the photo with him.

                            Take a close look at the lower right on the first one. πŸ˜‰

                              LOOOL I actually took a second look at the first picture to see if there was a frog but didn’t see one. Nice. A little “easter egg” for people who look closely πŸ˜› Is it a pet frog or one you found?

                                Haha! While traipsing around in a hollow where there was still some moisture and green grass (Southern CA in late September is pretty dry and blah), I just happened to see them EVERYWHERE! So it was a super happy coincidence.

                                The high-res photo is much bigger so I imagine he wouldn’t be so hard to see if printed calendar size, heehee.

                                I had a couple others too–it was super fun catching the little frogs and trying to snap pics before the little peepers jumped away πŸ˜€

                                OMG Chris I LOVE the pic of the Kirin mother and baby! I actually have my Kirin mother sitting almost exactly like that on the shelf next to me (butt towards me) and I’ve always thought it’s a really fetching angle πŸ™‚ Nice job!!
