I looove your chicken Jennifer, I too was confused at first whether it was a real chicken or a pyo haha! 😀

I really thought that sebrights were my favourite chickens, but this is the most magnificent biddy that I have ever seen! What breed were you depicting? She’s just glorious! I can’t wait to see what you do with the new rooster sculpt! 😀

Name: Rosanna P. Brost (‘Rosy’)

Artist Contact Info: You may contact me for commissions in a number of ways, but the best ways to contact me primarily by email (blackfalcolf@gmail.com). You can also contact me here or on Tumblr (www.rosannapbrost.tumblr.com.)

Commission acceptance status: OPEN – I will take one commission at a time. I have other priorities, so I’ll be taking these on a case-by-case basis. ?

PYO Painting Rates:

All rates are in USD and include the sculpt. Rates do not include shipping!

Foo Puppy…………….$50
Kitsune………………$80
Griffity……………..$80
Flapcat………………$150
Wolf…………………$150
Griffin………………$150
Kirin………………..$150
Dragon (small)………..$150
Unicorn………………$170
Keeper (big dragon)……$200
Adult Foo Dog…………$200

Custom Eyes………….+$15

Please allow at least three months for completion; this accounts for the time it takes for the sculpt to ship to me and gives me plenty of time to paint it. Once I get a commission I make it my first priority, so depending on time of year it will probably be finished much faster than that. I will not work on commissions during the months of November and December due to holiday constraints. For custom eyes I buy blanks (‘flints’) from Van Dyke’s Taxidermy Supply and paint them with acrylics; these especially look awesome on ‘predatory’ sculpts like flap cats, dragons and winged wolves because I use interference paint on them. (It gives them that cool shadowy look that real predators’ eyes have!)

Note that I put interference paint and antiquing on pretty much everything. If you are ‘allergic’ to either, let me know, otherwise your piece will most likely have both. I also put metallic paint on pretty much everything too, but this ain’t optional haha. ?

Type: Acrylic

Brand: I use a variety. Folk Art, Americana, Apple Barrel, Golden Fluid Acrylics (primarily interference) and Windsor & Newton Gloss Medium.

Pet Portraits: I have the right to refuse of course, but certainly, so long as you provide lots of reference images (the more you provide the more accurate I can make it!) and keep in mind that it’ll never be a perfect look alike and that some artistic license will always be taken. For references I absolutely require at least one very clear side view shot (with clear view of all four feet) and a front shot so that I can see facial markings. I also need to be able to see what the tail looks like.

Here are some examples of references that I consider good:

Side view:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_(horse)#/media/File:Mangalarga_Paulista.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd#/media/File:GermanShep1_wb.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat#/media/File:Grey_classic_tabby_crop.JPG
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Paint_Horse#/media/File:Overo2.jpg

Front view (primarily a clear view of the face):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_cat#/media/File:Shaded_silver_Persian_Cat_Missionhill_Cosmic_Rainstorm.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd#/media/File:DSHwiki.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat#/media/File:Kamee01_edit.jpg

For animals with complicated markings (spotted, appaloosa, pinto or paint) I require clear side view references of both sides of the individual. In this case a ‘butt shot’ would probably be appreciated too.

Shipping method: I ship Canada Post with insurance and tracking in original packaging, double boxed with packing peanuts. ? Shipping is determined on a case-by-case basis via Canada Post’s website. I ship worldwide so long as you understand that it’ll cost more for me to ship to you if you don’t live in North America! (Which is why I don’t ship worldwide on swaps… I once had to ship a copy of my book to an obscure European country and the charge was, shall I say, quite painful.)

Artist location: British Columbia, Canada.

Other comments: I prefer painting naturalistic animal schemes (‘safari’ or ‘domestic’), but I’ll paint anything in a tabby/tiger scheme haha! ? (Especially on a dragon. Flame tabby? Sure! Purple tabby dragon? Heck yes! :D) I am happy to paint sculpts in schemes that I have used before although they will never be exactly alike to the first version. I am not really interested in painting schemes based upon plants but if the plant in question has interesting markings then I might consider it. I am also not really interested on painting things based on geology or forces of nature. I will ot paint schemes based on characters in pop culture (Naruto, TLOZ, Pokemon) but I will consider painting schemes based on your own original characters, providing that you send me good reference material! (See pet portrait notes above.) I don’t like painting impressionistic stuff, sorry. I will consider painting stuff based on my own original species if you really want a falcolf schemed winged wolf or something. Please be clear about what your heart desires! ?

Payment and Terms of Service: I require at least 50% up front so that I can order the sculpt (this is non-refundable) and I will not begin painting until I have 100% of the commission fee. I require 100% up front on foo puppies. Due to the fact that it takes time for sculpts to ship to me from Windstone and I am financially incapable of keeping PYOs in stock at my house, I cannot rush orders so please commission me well in advance for gifts. I will not make any alterations of any kind to the sculpt and I do not do repairs at this time, nor repaints.

I prefer paypal but I will take money orders too. I do not take deviantART points!

Trades: YES!* I will gladly trade commission services for blank PYOs (since I can’t usually afford them otherwise and I LOVE painting these things.) I will also trade for pebble animals; especially AWD sitting foxes (GRAIL!), cougars, GB sitting foxes, GB bat eared foxes (especially AWD,) grey foxes, fennecs and GB lady cats. Hoppy poads are also pretty darn exciting for me. (Near-grail status.) I’d really like a baby dragon.

*Well, most of the time. Right now in particular I can’t really afford to buy any Windstones of any kind from the store, even PYOs (except for maaaaybe foo pups.) The only trade I can currently make is a commission in return for blank PYOs (you’d still pay shipping.) The weak Canadian dollar is making my Windstone addiction pretty unaffordable, sigh. Even a small dragon is like $75 for me with shipping… nope.

I hadn’t even known that Pam had left either, but I’ve been away for a while so I’ll just add my grateful kudos!! Great job dynamic ebay duo!

I live in British Columbia too and I so far have never been charged anything for customs ordering from Windstone, but that may just be dumb luck. I think it’s kind of hard to predict, although maybe it’s more likely on more expensive orders? I think the most expensive thing that I have ever ordered was a cougar. So you might not get charged at all, but I guess that might just turn out as a happy surprise if you’re really used to getting dinged.

I’ll definitely show off my webcomic when it’s good to go! It’s going to be a couple of years at least, though. 🙂 I’ve got loads of conceptual work to do on top of actual pages still.

Thanks everyone! 😀 I’m really excited! I can’t wait to play with it.

I actually haven’t been on dA very much lately Prezaurian, so if you were looking for anything from me there you probably haven’t missed anything if that helps you feel any better. 🙂

Jennifer, I saw that article a few days ago! 😀 Someone posted a link to it on Tumblr and I gave it a good read over. It wasn’t really new information for me though because in university they taught us to be super careful visually with digital stuff anyway. I’ve been teaching myself to glance away every few minutes from my laptop screen for years and focus my eyes on something else in the room, which my cats are great helps for because they’re always getting up to silliness. For the cintiq, I only have around four hours a day at most to do digital art anyway, so I don’t think the negative effects of them will effect me like they do people who have to spend all day five days a week chained to them for work. Even so I’m taking the danger seriously though, I don’t want anything to happen to my sight, I depend on it too much! My fluffy boys will have to help me with that too, the goofballs. 🙂

I talked to a Canada Post delivery lady at work today – she said that they’re only close to an agreement, which has been proposed (not reached) and she said she was happy with what had been reached, so it seems that things will smooth out soon.

Thank you so much Marianne! <3 I still know many people in the industry, some who your family may even know, but I’m happy to be outside of it and creating my own work with myself as my own art director. I went to school at Capilano University; I did consider Art Institute but it was too much for me but still, another awesome school! Sounds like you have one heck of an artsy family! 😀

I’m now writing, planning the before-mentioned graphic novels and doing various illustrations. I might not get paid for it (yet,) but it’s still fun and my education in animation certainly hasn’t gone to waste. I’m proud of what I’ve done, even if the industry wasn’t a match for me and I’m hugely proud of my classmates who are still in it.

I will also continue to rely on Canada Post! (And, occasionally, Purolator. All of my Purolator experiences have been good thus far. The store I work at pretty much only ships via it, but we don’t ship anywhere outside of Canada so I can’t speak for how good they are with international stuff.)

I looove the Tanzanite, if I was going to start a dragon family in one colour, it’d be this one. The Tanzanite emperor looks absolutely stunning! 😀
