Thank you ^^ He has one bid on him so I’m pretty excited 😀
Can’t wait to get my hands on some more PYOs!Commission spots are currently closed! Please message me for details.
Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!OK so since I saw a few other people who are new at PYO’s doing awesome jobs with antiquing, I decided to give it a go myself 🙂
I was really scared to do it to my first little guy, who I named Gilded Sky, but I read the advice that has been given previously (like, not trying to antique until after the topcoat is on – which was actually very helpful! Made it so much easier to wipe off ‘mistakes’) and I did it. The only place that I didn’t really antique was his inside wings (could you call them membranes? That sounds kinda icky and they’re so NOT icky!), I tried it but the grooves were so shallow that it ended up looking strange and almost dirty, so I decided to skip it 🙂
I have posted one “before” pic just for reference. I am quite happy with him 😀 I’ve decided once and for all that I will be keeping this one since he is my official first one, but I simply cannot wait to try more PYOs in the future 🙂Before:

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!That’s completely awesome! It brings out soo much more detail and depth. Looks like you did a wonderful job, and I will ALWAYS do 1 clear coat before antiquing. I found that the inside of the legs were most difficult because there wasn’t any depth. I want to start on my next one soon.
It’s good to see some other noobs No offense at all, I think it’s great! like myself succeeding so well. Keep it up!sagiaparri wrote:I found that the inside of the legs were most difficult because there wasn’t any depth. I want to start on my next one soon.

No offense taken at all Sagi, it’s much more a compliment 🙂 I found the same thing too – I was going to take pictures and ask if anyone else had any trouble with the inside of the legs but I figured I didn’t need any more pictures of him XD It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who struggled with that though! I figured that it’s one of the least noticeable areas on the dragon anyway so it wouldn’t really matter much in the long run.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmLooks wonderful antiqued! I always prefer when the piece is antiqued since it brings out all those wonderful details that Melody painstakingly sculpted in the scales. 🙂
Thanks everyone!! ^^ :snappy:
