Hello everyone,
I finaly jumped in. I painted a muse. I chose my favorite colors. Red, black and white with silver accents. I have never painted anything like this before. I have painted walls in a house but that is much different.
A few of the things I have learned while painting this guy are… I realized these colors are extremely hard to work with together. Not to mention I lack the painting skills, but that comes in time. I have read a lot of the tutorials and equipment and painting tips you all have on here in the forum. That being said, I thank all of you for sharing your knowledge and tips. It really was better to have a reference point than to start off blind.
I used americana and decoart brand acrylics, same brand for extender, pearlizing medium and varnish and bought a set of average artist loft paint brushes for this guy. I know I will be buying a better quality of paint brush for my next one. I struggled with stray hairs. 😡 I have ordered gems for him and need to atttach the felt on the bottom so I’ll probably update the photos then. I couldn’t wait to post him though, I noticed that a lot of the newest pyo’s being done are in reds and blacks. I don’t have a name for him, any suggestions? Oh, and feel free to critique me on my painting. I’m not thin skinned and value any advice you can offer. 😀

I was just comming on to say she was lying down too, she looks pretty uncomfortable. I didn’t see any contractions yet though. Oh she’s back up again, lol.
Just saw this post as well. I’m so sorry. I felt sick when I saw the pics. I can only imagine how you feel. On the brighter side it seems that so many people here are willing to help with the repairs and your insurance could pick up the cost for you. Gratefully, you weren’t hurt physically when this happened. If it were me, I’d consider taking the remainder of my collection out of those cases just incase the stress of the weight is too much on those supports. Wishing the very best for you. Keep us posted!

I looked out of curiosity, and it made my ‘personal day’ color PINK. :puke: 😮 :shout: :puke: I HATE pink! 😀 My month color waspretty enough in and of itself, but a pastel shade, and I also strongly dislike pastels. Oh well, guess I’m totally screwed up! j/k 😈
😆 Haha, My color is a pastel green called Bay. The month color is a fairly close color aqua. The day wasnt very accurate in describing me. But, I remembered the new astrology thing, where everyone’s a different sun sign. So I checked the month ahead of me and the same day as my bitrhday. The description better suits me and the colors are easier on my eyes lol, 😀 I also agree with Siberakh1, I couldn’t surround myself with these colors I’d probably go insane.
