Oh my gosh, I just noticed the white line on his mouth! He looks like he just took a bite of icing! 😀

I know I have done that when I have thought of purchasing, I contacted a few people who have proved reliable to me and asked if they had info and it really helped, but I also felt better that I was not passing bad info by privately inquiring too.
The only thing about this is that for new people like myself, we have no one to really private message to inquire about others. I could, I suppose, pick random names of people that I see post a lot and ask about someone, but that’s just a little strange and uncomfortable :nea:
I still like the idea of a forum that deals ONLY in positive comments. Someone doesn’t have to have negative comments against them for others to know that they’re not good to deal with (or at the very least, new, and possibly a risk) – the lack of their name on a list, I think, is a good enough warning.
I say all this knowing that I have no reputation whatsoever on the forums yet of course, so my name would be absent from that list too. I understand that a reputation is something that I have to work for, and if I did a bad job on my first few commission transactions then I would know that because I would receive no feedback whatsoever.
On the other hand, stuff happens with people who have good reputations too. It’s always possible that someone has a life shattering experience and they drop everything and move on without saying anything. It’s rare, but it happens. In those cases though, hopefully the bad experiences would be very very limited. This also doesn’t take into account people who have spotty records – some good and some bad feedback. People would never know if there wasn’t some sort of feedback on the bad experiences that they might be getting into gray areas.
Oh goodness, I’m running in circles now trying to think of a way to be fair to everyone. I remind myself of Gir in an Invader Zim episode when he thinks too much.. “Wait… if you destroy Dib in then past, then he won’t ever be your enemy. Then, you won’t have to send a robot back to destroy him. But, then he will be your enemy, so then you will have to send a robot back- *head explodes*”
On a side note.. Yay Koiishi!! You’ll have to let us know when you put something up 😀

And you have displayed quite wonderfully exactly why I may never paint the wolf – I don’t think I could get the coat colors that spot on! I love the color of the wings with him too.

Absolutely! I’m already talking to one other forum member about doing one, and I’d definitely love to take on more. I only work part time and I have an insatiable need to paint, so it works out well for me 😀
Send me a PM!

Dragon (small) —–$160 – $220
Phoenix ————-$175 – $225**I’ll update this list as I paint the rest of the sculpts – as of today I still have not painted a Kirin, Keeper or Unicorn, so I wouldn’t be comfortable providing a price yet!**

I know I’m pretty darned new here as far as things go, but I have had bad dealings with people over the internet before and I certainly can empathize with your situation.
It’s tough when it comes to transactions of this type as well, to protect both sides when there’s no middle man like Ebay or anything to give guarantees if something goes wrong. Trying to decide how long is too long before feeling like you’ve been burned is tough because some people have legitimate reasons to take a long time on things.
I know myself, and I know that when someone asks me to do something for them, whether it be painting a windstone or drawing a simple picture for them, I dive in headfirst and make sure it gets done. I like making people proud of me. Unfortunately a lot of people do see the limited anonymity of the internet as an easy way to take advantage of others. I’m not saying that this person did that – I don’t know them and I don’t know all the facts – but I do know that you’re feeling burned and I’m so very sorry to hear about it 🙁 I hope it still works out for you, even though it’s been this long.
I actually had looked at the “white list/black list” XML file yesterday that someone posted quite a while ago (I think it was sPark?) because I really want to do commissioned work and I really want to be trusted. Unfortunately Daydreamer is right, and situations like this only make it harder for people to trust people 🙁 If someone figures out a way to make a list that pertains to forum members, I’ll do anything I can to help!

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I feel the same about the muse – I think the only time I would paint one is by request or possibly for a swap. As far as the wolf, he’s actually at the bottom of my “want” list specifically because I have no idea how I would tie the wolf’s fur and the wings together.

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I can’t paint rocks either! That’s why I opted to treat them more like blank canvasses for pretty designs rather than try to paint them realistically 😆 I’ve been painting night skies for as long as I’ve had paints and paintbrushes, so I figured that would be the best look for me XD

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!Just a question I had been mulling over the past few days after having painted 3 different types of PYO’s so far. I searched the forums and couldn’t find anything like this (although I’d be surprised if it hasn’t been discussed in some shape or form in the past), so I thought I would ask.. What PYO has proven to be the most difficult for you to paint and why?
Keep in mind as well that I am writing from the perspective of a paintbrush artist – I have never used an airbrush so I have no idea where the difficulties lie for airbrushing. I’d certainly love to hear about it though! Also keep in mind that in no way am I trying to say that any of these statues are NOT difficult to paint! Every single one is difficult, just given the sheer detail included in every piece. I’m just rating my own experience as far as “most” and “least” difficult – but difficult indeed!
My own answers kind of surprised me. I find negative space to be a tough spot to paint – what I mean by that is, for example, the space between the Griffin’s wings and haunches – the space where there is little or no texture, but is still visible and must be painted in a nice way somehow.
I also had difficulty with the small Dragon’s feet area – behind the coiled tail and between his legs is a hard place to reach with any detail when you’re holding a brush! And not to mention the amazing detail of the scales themselves – they give so much room for creativity in color schemes, but can prove difficult when you’re trying to paint them for sure.
For those reasons, my list so far is:
Most difficult – Small Dragon! It’s easy for me to get carried away trying to make everything on this guy look perfect, and that area at his feet is definitely a high point of difficulty for me. The scales also push the difficulty up a notch – there’s so much to do with him, and if you choose a design that is high on detail, there’s little room for error when you get down and dirty with those scales so to speak!
Less difficult – Phoenix. I struggled with wondering if the Dragon or the Phoenix was harder to paint given that they are around the same size and have nearly the same amount of textural detail to work with, but the sheer fact that the Phoenix has no real “tight” spots on it made it easier, in my mind, than the Dragon. I noticed this a lot when I was painting it, that there was no spot that felt like it would lose any detail or authenticity of design just because it was hard to push my brush into it.
Least difficult – Griffin. The negative space gets me because it is very hard to get my paintbrush in there nicely, and nearly impossible to give it any real “design” – I just have to work to blend it in well. It’s forgivable to me though simply because it is a place that isn’t crucial to the overall look of the piece. The Griffin is also big enough to be able to detail fairly easily, and the design of the piece lends itself to sincere creativity on the part of the painter.
What do you think?
