Adding my name to the list!

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 is either by email (blackfalcolf@gmail.com) or private message on deviantART (www.falcolf.deviantart.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………………$75
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. 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 not 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.}

If anyone is interested, Melody also took a picture of the PYO keeper, Emperor, and Secret Keeper together:

Good lord the emperor is huge, I had no idea! I can’t believe I ever thought that the PYO keeper was enormous. (I knew the Secret Keeper was a titan though.) Is the kirin the same size as the little PYO dragon?
