It’s 3:35 by me right now, I’m in Illinois.
Lol, yay more pug people! SPark is making me a pug fursuit/costume I love pugs so much. Mine is 3 years old now and getting a tad bit of a white chin on her black face. She is a fawn though, and lacking in dewclaws. Normally she’s like a sack of potatoes and won’t move, especially in bed!, but sometimes she takes off like a crazy thing doing that butt-tucking run pugs are famous for. This normally happens when she gets wet in any way like if there’s a drizzie outside, steps in water I spilled, or after a bath. She’s insane.
When My pug wants something she lets me know big time! She will get very ownry and grab and pull and my clothes and bite at my feet, growling and snorting and turning in circles until I can’t possibly do anything but what she wants and she leaves me alone!
Take them for a walk, I don’t think, even if the chicks got posted, they’d fly off that fast. I just went out to buy my hubby Borat and send out a FedEx document. I also ate while sitting at the comp and just took photos of my clay mystic and working on getting those images ready to post on ebay. So, I think you got time. If I am here for the auction I plan to snag a few for forum members who don’t get in on the auction, but I do plan to resell a couple too. This will be the first time I actually see and hold a white Windstone anything in person. Everyone has been raving about the whites and I’ve been totally against it myself, but I figure I will give it a shot and see if in person they look as stunning as ya’ll say.
I was thinking they would be $100 a piece. So you think it’ll just be the sitting gryphlet offered and not the cutie crouching one with it’s butt all up in the air? Aww…that’s the more adorable one!
I’d be willing to trade for your gothic unicorn. I’d die to get a chance at that. I’d also love to have the ki-rin family but I doubt I could trade anything for quite that high a price tag.
Purpledoggy I love your signature icon haha. I’m a huge Trekkie for TNG. I even got an animated icon of Picard, Data, and Riker head-banging in a modified SNL skit!
I’m afraid all I can do is offer a trade or some kind, but I’d so much love to have that! I do plan on getting a few griffin chicks if I can snag them and possibly trade them, but I honestly don’t have money to spare for just buying purposes, so if somebody has the $$ you can give it to them…but I can always trade painted PYOs, chicks if I get them, or commissions of some kind.
Aww thanks guys. The good news of all of it is I don’t really suffer burn-out or lack of anything to do art-wise since I have several projects. I have a Totem Card project where about 50 artists are designing animal cards for, a werewolf novel I’m writing, and a Were-creature anatomy guidebook/art refereance thingie artists can officially use to copy and learn from.
Our insurance is paying 80% of the bills, which is nice. I’m just amazed at how much 20% is, you know? We pay the 20% and then of course all doctor visit co-pays which are $40 each visit. But we keep having issues with insurance and their lacking pacing some bills in time which cn hurt our credit rating and or get me yelled at at the doctor office and a threat that I won’t get my medical care. That’s totally not cool and having had that happen to me because of an insurance misunderstanding fired me up something aweful. The drug costs are actually the cheapest part of the whole dang thing! I don’t know how other people quite seriously in debt with medical bills can handle it. It has made me take an even deeper look at the US medical care system and it really really needs revamping in a serious way…but I guess we care more about funding wars right now and weapons that kill…not our people or its education or its exports. But don’t get me started on politics.
And nobody has results for me…I know tests take time but still…my doctors make me appointment to review the results and then when there are no results that’s just more money I gotta pay for the visit. That happened twice last week. and then when I got some medical records I needed…I had somebody elses records with mine which screwed even more stuff up!
It’s aweful and an uphill battle that just makes you more angry everytime you gotta do anything doctor-visit-wise
Personally, I’d like to see more action-oriented poses in future Windstone pieces, like she did with the scratching dragon, standing old unicorn, and new gryphlet chick. If I could have any Windstone it would be any color Old Warrior since I don’t have one of them, and also a gothic unicorn.
Thanks Ski, and I will always keep this list in mind because I DO want to do these trades but it’ll probably take far longer than I ever intended it to. Also, I know I commissioned one or two people…I will be paying for those, no worries.
I’ve just gotten really frustrated this week. Most all the money we got back from taxes has gone to medical bills…the rest to other necessities. Now I have to get blood tests every week and keep seeing doctors. I’ve had to pay in $100 all-of-a-sudden by surprise just to get the CT scan my doctor required because insurance wouldn’t cover the entire thing. I don’t like surprises like that or to be told I won’t get medical care if I don’t pay up right now. And I realize that for our first year anniversary my hubby and I probably can’t go anywhere or do anything special like we planned because of all the medical crap and it’s all my fault even though I couldn’t help it. We can’t afford to redo the kitchen like we wanted or anything to fix up our home as planned like prevent the basement from flooding by redoing the walls and such. I feel like such a burden now.
I’m just really upset, and although several of the PYOs I’ve made have sold well, a lot haven’t sold so well or at least in the range I set for myself to make a decent wage over time put in, you know? I know others among you have felt this too…so maybe it’s just a weak period for sales (it happens) or something but I set for myself a certain standard for the year and for all art I do and I won’t settle for less like I used to all those years anymore because it’s just not really professional and makes my work seem sub-par. I mean I believe you have to sell out sometimes to pay bills and make money, but sometimes you gotta put your foot down too.
Anyway, I’ll stop my little ranter, I just had to let everyone know and I feel really bad, but what am I gonna do? Hopefully though nobody will mind and if things turn out better I willfullfill the trades when time and money allows.
I don’t know why but I can’t find my one ost about Ki-Rin trades. Can someone point that to me? I’m lost.
I want to fulfill my trades but I don’t know if I’ll be able to now. Those of you that have already begun their side of the trade for me, PM me asap; I will fullfill my side of the bragain with you. Also, those I have already begun trades for: like those who got the autumn wolves, the 2 people I owe for the secret on-going partner trades, or SPark for the fursuit…those will all be completed. It’s everyone else from my KiRin list that I don’t know if I can do and now must put on hiatus.
All commissions will also be completed just fine, so no worries there. Commissions always get done and I’m always open to taking them, although right now I’m kinda slow.
I am finishing off all of the PYO sculpts I have on-hand right now for these, and then probably not going to get any more soon. Of course this can change since I have like 10 more to paint specifically for selling purposes, but right now the outlook is to just get rid of stock, recover my money, and pay off as much of the medical bills as possible, with hopefully some leftover to help fund other major art projects I have going this year.
The stripes I personally put on every one of my dragons, like the wolves have cheeky moles. However, anyone else can use them since they are part of the natural world of animals and wildlife. But I guess you could call them my rademarks for my own sculpts.
