That kirin is gorgeous! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
So what is your commision status… You still open to do more?🙂 My main set back right at the moment is having no more blank PYOs! But yes, I am still taking commissions.

loooooooooooooots of layers. 😛 and prayers to the paint gods. It’s so totally worth it when it comes out nice, though. I love kirin scales.

-J R R Tolkien😀 Thanks everyone!
😉 Don’t worry, mmloda, I’ve got your next one going as we speak.

-J R R TolkienTwo new ones to show, both for siberakh1. A new snow leopard griffin, and and artist’s choice Ki-rin – I painted him in a silver brindle color.
I have to apologize about the pictures of the ki-rin – for some reason, be it the shinyness of the paint or the darkness of the colors, he just didn’t want to photograph! So sorry about the blown out bits and bad color there… the close up does a better job of showing the color.
First off, Snow Leopard PYO #2, a little different from #1:
And the Silver Brindle Ki-rin:
They make a pretty pair, and I had a ton of fun working on them. 🙂 Thanks siberakh1, and I hope you love them!

-J R R TolkienXD I’m amazed everyone likes the pink eyes so much! I kinda hate them myself… 😉

Wait, didn’t you already get a griffin? ;D Hmm, good to know though – we’ll see how quick I can get my current projects finished….

-J R R TolkienThis little gal is a commission for laphon1. The original request was for a dragon like the seashell dragon I did a while back, and then it changed to be a mixture of both the seashell dragon and my arowana keeper.
I kept her mainly looking like the seashell dragon, but gave her the gold and purple points of the keeper. And just for fun I played with some spots on the wings and freckles on her neck. It’s tough to work with soooo many colors on such a tiny little dragon! It was a challenge. That shiny purple really likes to show up as blue through the camera, but it really is a rich purple on her head, feet and tail, not that periwinkle blue color.
She reminds me a little of a day gecko. She looks life sized – like maybe an exotic little pet for a child. I want to put a little golden collar and chain on her.Hope you like her, laphon1! Let me know if the lavender eyes are still your fav, and we’ll work on a jewel color.
Here are the other eye colors that might work (why does blue go with EVERYTHING?)

-J R R TolkienI have to check up with everyone on the list for tiger griffins – if some people decide they don’t want one anymore, I could add a few new people… though I can’t gaurantee I’ll actually get to everyone anyway. Life is tumultuous lately and I may be going back to school soon, which would mean pretty much no free time to paint. 😛 But we’ll see.
Actually, right now, priority probably goes to people with griffins, as they’re sold out and I can’t get any! Anyone have a unpainted griffin who wants one of these guys??

He did come out well, but he also may look better because he’s been the first to get decent ‘studio’ photography! I have a light box now, and the pictures turn out much more flattering.

-J R R TolkienKujacker wrote:Can we get some close ups of this guy? He looks awesome!
Hmm. Let me see what I’ve got…
Alright, I found one – I knew I’d taken one! But of course it’s got the wrong color eyes in there. Just pretend they’re green.
This pic is actually really true to the real color of the piece. At least on my monitor…

-J R R TolkienHere is Jasmine’s Tabby tiger griff – #10 in the series. She asked for green eyes, which tickles me pink. I’ve been yearning to put green eyes in one of these guys since I started them! 🙂 thanks Jasmine!
and here’s one more with the wrong color eyeballs, just to show off his backside –

I paint everything by hand. One of these days, I swear, I will get an airbrush and learn how to use it….. until then, it’s my little brushes and lots and lots and lots of layers. ^_^

-J R R TolkienHere’s my second brindle kirin. 🙂 Almost the same as the first… Slightly different in the face, and a little difference in the color of the belly and the belly’s transition to the other scales. I love antiquing the kirin scales!
Tons of layers went into this guy, for the brindle stripes as well as getting a deep smooth finish on the scales. There are also about 5 layers of antique on there… His nose and hooves are pretty dark so they blend into the background a bit.Hope you like him mmloda! He and the tiger griff look pretty smashing together… I’ll be sad to see them both go!

-J R R TolkienGreen all the way.
Pretty pretty pretty!!! I think this one is prettier than the first – I like the brighter orange of the body. Good going, Drag0n! 😉
