Well, I thought I’d just let you curious folks know that I just got back from visiting Melody and company, and they are super-nice and also super fun. Good food and a good time was had.
It’s funny because Melody said she had “nothing interesting” to see there, but there are about a million Windstones in every nook and cranny of that place, they’re just mostly older ones, none of the new stuff. They’ve got a green emperor dragon doing duty as a book end, and I saw a few ki-rins in odd test colors.
I was trying to not be a horrible fangirl, so I didn’t pester her about too many things, but DragonMaster will be happy to know that the green fledgelings are coming along. I put in a plug for the Violet Flame fledgelings, of course. *grins*
And on the subject of poads, (since I know you’re all interested!) the jury is still out on what, exactly, will be done with them. They were, as she’s mentioned, a personal project, and never really intended for the world at large. Which I can totaly sympathize with. I’ve got a couple of drawings I made for myself and my boyfriend that the rest of the world may never see, even though they’re some of my best work, because they’re personal. So the poads probably never going to be made as regular production pieces. She did say that she was thinking about possibly sharing them with us forum members in some way, but there’s no actual plan yet.
Their family and friends are all very fun and interesting people. We had some good discussion, and I tried to explain the whole “furry” fandom thing, which takes some explaining sometimes.
So there’s my evening’s report. I can confirm what everyone who’s met Melody has said, that she’s a wonderful person, as well as a wonderful artist.
Thanks for that, SPark, especially the Poad info. You didn’t perchance get any pictures of weird test colorings?
Thanks Spark! It sounds like you had a fun evening.
DM should be very happy…and I hope the poads make it to us in one form or another…

I didn’t take a camera. I don’t own a camera, I just borrow one! Anyhow, most of what was there was early paints of the regular production colors of old stuff.
Well, at least Melody doesn’t think it’s some horrible nasty thing. *chuckles* She was jut curious, since her work does attract a lot of furry fans.
(Not that most people I meet think furry is ick, but most furries I meet think most people think furry is ick, if that makes any sense. Paranoia, whee!)

Well, most of the furries I have met have been ick! Some of them seriously super duper ICK! XD I’m happy that I get to share the board with nice, sane, non-groady furries. ^_^
That’s AWSOME that you got to meet the family…if you don’t mind my asking, how did you do it??? 😀 I’ve been dying to try to get in to see the factory, or wonder of wonders meet Melody and have the chance to grovel at her feet, but I just feel so silly and so fan-girly asking…."He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
-J R R TolkienYes, Arlla, as I was reading, I was wondering that too. Did you actually go to the factory, or catch up with them in OR?

I just asked a while back, and said if she’s up in the area I wanted to meet her if I could. She’s very nice and likes meeting fans, it seems. And it helps that she was practically local to me, we only had to drive about 45 minutes to their new house.
They were in Oregon for Thanksgiving, that being why they’re not about the forum this weekend. I’d love to drop by the factory, but that’s a looooooooooooooong ways for me to go.
Thank for the Original Green update. I’m heading down to North Hollywood on Thursday. It’s the only place I’m going on vacation this time around. I hope the clan will be back in Hollywood by then

Yeah.. it helps that she’s met several before though, I think! 🙂
I’ve been to a con (AC) and, well.. there are a lot of scary people out there. A lot. XD But any fandom has its scary crowd, and not all of them are bad. I have several friends that identify with the furry group and they are nice, normal* people. 🙂
*normal as in not scary! XD I don’t really know anyone that is ‘normal’- what IS normal, anyhow??

My art: featherdust.comMelody is probaly the most down to earth cool artist I’ve ever met. For those of you who live close enough for a factory visit, just call them and let them know when you’re coming! LoL Then go, and have fun!
