I think I’m gonna ask for a Kirin anyway. They are addictive little critters (as mmloda can attest, I’m certain).
Thing about keepers, is it seems like they’d take a fair bit longer than the littler pieces. So I don’t know if it would make for an even swap. As a painter, I’d feel uneasy painting a little critter while knowing that my recipient is hoping for something grander. A Keeper only swap would be a more even solution. But outright forbidding them from this swap would be no fun.
Maybe it should have reverse-Muse status.
If I remember correctly, a recipient who really wanted one could ask for a muse, and their painter (if they were okay with painting one) could paint one.
With the Keepers, maybe it should be that if a painter really wants to paint one for the swap, they could be paired with a recipient who (while officially asking for a littler critter) makes a note that he/she would gladly recieve a Keeper.
Just my 5 cents.

Yes and no. Griffins also take a while, because they are big. In fact, the keeper is just a bit bigger than a griffin (I’m looking at mine as I write). It just depends on the painter. If we need to start doing a pairing like that, it’ll be hell. It’s already a bit of a shuffle with making sure people don’t paint for the same person twice, to check to make sure the person ships where the picked person lives and if they have restrictions as to what they paint. Nah, I think keepers are on the level. It’s because we’ve been waiting for them so long because of the broken mold that they’re so special, I think.
We can do a keeper swap only at one point for sure late in the fall. That way, we’d have our “2 swaps a year” quota/fix!

I checked some measurements, (relying a bit on online photos and descriptions) it appears to be right between the griffin and male dragon in size. It still seems pretty epic, but they do have that mystique and I have never painted one so cannot say for certain.
But either way, you and Drag0nfeathers are doing a major kindness for and contribution to the Windstone community by tackling and running this swap. And you make a good point, with all the juggling that’s already needed, it’s best not to add more unless very necessary.
I eagerly await the first. 🙂
*gasp* He’s much bigger than I thought. I thought they were only slightly bigger than the griffin, but he’s almost the same size as the male. 😮 To be honest, the thought of painting a keeper is a little intimidating. 😳

I just hope the store restocks several times before and during the swap. Last time I looked the griffins were kind of low. Now there are 10 of them and it’s the kirins (2) and unicorns (3) that are low (as of 9:39AM Central)

LOL! We posted the rules at the same time so I deleted this post!
