After all the pretty pink in this guy, I really want to do an all pink griff for ski! ;D Hey, Ski – you want a pink griffin??
A pink griffin from you…hmmm… Um YEEEEESSSS YESSS YES YES YES YES YES… Did I say yes?
This guy is beautiful. I love your tabbys… but I think this is your prettiest yet. I am so excited I cant even type. If you knew how many times I had to hit backspace while writing this, you would laugh.
Heehee! Hmm…what eye color? baby blue?

LOL – I’m glad it worked out at all!! XD Like most of my griffins, I dove into this one without a plan…Just let the colors flow the way they wanted. I got pretty nervous about the face, and the weird little stripes on it…but it turned out alright, I think. (kinda made me want to put similar stripes on the butt, but stripes definitely weren’t really the point of this griffin)

-J R R TolkienSPark wrote:Yeah, I’d say creams and yellows and other colors that will bring out the purple by constrast. Cool colors will just make it look gray and washed out, I think.
Yeah, my original plan was to do it in sunset colors… but after the sunrise griffin turned out so bright, I’m not sure I would be able to paint it the way I see it in my head…they’re scary, these sunrises and sunsets!! They have great potential for botching.

-J R R Tolkienfrozendragon wrote:I don’t know about silver….I think silver leafing as an accent….but honestly a lot of silver would look kind of funny….
something to compliment the eyes would be great….but what about a creamy color…
that’s my thoughts
Were you not a fan of the silver old warriors?? I thought those would have looked FABULOUS with lavendar eyes…

-J R R Tolkienfrozendragon wrote:I’m sure she wouldn’t mind another pink griffin….
Aw, that’s right – you made one for her, didn’t you? I’m sure it wouldn’t mind a friend…
Maybe I’ll paint one and keep it for myself just to taunt her. 😈
It’s just such a nice delicate pearly pink that I mixed for your griffin…I want to use MORE of it!!"He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
-J R R Tolkienjumping in on this late –
I also hate mixing colors!! But I do it a lot because I’m too cheap to buy any colors besides the primaries. Except for interference colors – I’ve bought LOTS of those, now! 😈
When I feel lazy, I paint with my craft paints – those only cost like $1 each, so I do buy those in lots of colors. As nice as Golden brand is, craft paints can make a mighty nice griffin.I also have yet to find a nice, rich metalic red. I’ll have to check out some of the brands you guys mentioned.
As far as the pearls vs. interference colors – I use both, and sometimes I use both on the same griffin. I use pearls mostly when I want to make a broad area shiny, and interference for accents.
The sunrise griff I just finished is painted almost entirely in pearls with some interference accenting."He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
-J R R TolkienAlright guys…I need help…
…if you happened to have a PYO dragon with lavendar eyes, what color would you paint it…?
I’m thinking silver…maybe silver and cream with lavendar accents…but I really want this one to be
PRETTY and GOOD…I really don’t want to mess it up…and I’d love to hear what you guys think.Keep in mind that it’s a very light lavendar that is easily washed out by surrounding colors. Not to say that I can’t have surrounding colors, but if I do they probably have to be pale.
Also, to save the office folks some strife – this isn’t a normal eye color! The only reason I got lavendar eyes is because Melody is too nice and let me steal them out of a paper cup. Feel free to bug her for lavendar eyes, as I would love to see more of them on her sculptures – I just don’t want you to think that I got them because I’m special – I was just plain lucky. And insistant. ^_^

-J R R TolkienI want griffins…lots of griffins…
and orientals in new colors (INCLUDING the original oriental dragon!! he’s BEGGING to be ressurected!!)
…..and poads…

-J R R TolkienDoes anyone have one of the light buttery yellow laps from the second batch that they’d like to sell? After seeing both versions in person, I think I actually prefer the buttery yellow version best…
If possible I would like to pay what they sold for ($230 I think? whatever the BIN was…) plus shipping…
Please post or PM me if you have one you’d like to sell…
"He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
-J R R TolkienDoes anyone know what they are going for? I’ve got one in mint condition that I’m thinking of selling…No box.

Next up, a Kirin for Phoenix that looks like her pony, Frodo! 😀
PM’d….my next one is ski’s pink dragon…
that should be done tomorrow…hehe

http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/earthsea/
This is all I know about it…
Edit: Here’s a better article in Wikipedia – 🙁 looks like the Sci-Fi channel won’t let us get it here until 2009 due to them holding the copyrights on it…blah.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea_(film)[/url]
hmmm…don’t know why the link doesn’t work. just copy pasta it I guess…sorry. It’s a decent article though."He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
-J R R TolkienP.S. I think Full Metal is only 51 episodes long…unless I’m missing a whole bunch…
And has anyone mentioned Chobits?? It’s a weird series with lots of sexual overtones, but despite that it’s so bloody CUTE and sweet and funny…
And after just having watched Fruits Basket again, I have to say that EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT!! I really hope they make more episodes…Last I heard they were going to, but I’m not sure what happened with that.

-J R R Tolkiendrag0nfeathers wrote:Oh, I thought of another movie I completely forgot to add to the list. Princess Mononoke! *hits forehead* That’s like the best anime movie of all time!
Hey, nearly ALL of the Miyazaki movies are priceless classics. I think my favorite is Spirited Away…Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle (SUPER AWESOME BOOK, as well as an animated movie) tie for second I think. I also really like The Cat Returns. ^_^ I watch it when I need cheering up.
I definitely highly recomend any Miyazaki movies – though many of them may be a little scary for young kids. I can see Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke being pretty traumatic for sensitive kids.
OOOOH I can’t wait till his next one…based on the Wizard of Earthsea…mmm…
