I honestly think it was the sympathy card that raised it so high… There are a lot of people out there with money to throw around… and they do..

Or… two individual bidders entered INSANELY high bids… thinking SURELY no one will bid this high… only to have someone do it!

That’s why I don’t bid… $500 just because I want to make sure I win it… someone COULD push it up that high! 😀 then I’d be stuck!

I concur with the rest. Lady, you are GOOD. The colour transitions are so nice and smooth. The legs on the front one with all the subtleties are really something to behold. 🙂

This is why I LOVE pastels!!! so much EASIER to get those transitions…. instead of fighting with acrylics… or god forbid oils. Out here in the desert… Acrylics don’t stay wet and “blendable” for every long… even with medium in them.

And pastels are VERY thin layers… so you don’t clog up the grooves and details with lots of acrylic paint either. 😀

😳 😳 😳

Oh I dunno about that. 😀 All of my skills revolve around painting horses… not wolves and dragons and such! 😀 this is all new to me… thankfully it’s working so far! 😆

Just wish I could be at home working on them… rather than stuck at work!

I haven’t been looking for one… but I’d bet they’d go under $100… The demand was never that great for them… you SHOULD be able to find it under it’s retail of… $225? or so…

I think the only sword we paid full retail value for was Arwen’s sword… cause my BF was insane and went to the local “Knife shop” rather than ebay. 😛

Let’s see… AH! piccie!

I’d take a better one (Bowen’s sword is a bit dark) but my camera’s batteries just died… 😛 and I should be in bed. ^.^

[ladybrooklyn]

At this point… I’d be extatic to have ANY gryphons in ANY color with BINs! ^.^I’ll just have to stay on the ball!!!

[ladybrooklyn]

Thanks! ^.^

That’s one layer of pastels on both of them…

The blue eyed wolf now has a layer of brown pastels on him… he’s sitting outside…

Wait lemme go take another pic real quick.

Here we go! This is how the two of them stand now… as I get ready to go to bed. 😀

Well… the picture sucks… but here’s what I showed to my friend tonight… I kinda fancy them brother and sister at this point. 😀

The blue eyed wolf in the front is hers… the one behind it (with the bi-eyes) is the one I’m going to keep… probably give to my Boyfriend (who loves wolves) for Xmas…

He’s responding to both of them really well. “Oooh that’s really cool!” and such. 😀 My horses don’t get reactions like that! 😆

I have one more… with hazel eyes… base coated him… but when I went to remove the masking fluid, one eye went POP and flew out of the socket… 😆 had to fix it. 😯 I plan to sell this one when he’s done. ^.^ I’ll probably work more heavily on him tomorrow night…

[ladybrooklyn]

I have the one my friend bought and received sitting here at work with me… 😀

So many color ideas are running through my head… 😆

[ladybrooklyn]

I like the first quite a bit!

The second one is a bit rough… but I like the markings!

Very nice! 😀

Now it’s bloody 50*!!! I LOVE Tucson! In the blink of an eye the temps change!! 😯

Though I am glad it’s FINALLY starting to feel the right temp for the season!!! 😀

Anyone ever seen this one?
http://www.yourprops.com/view_item.php?movie_prop=8637

Yup! Own one… got it for less than $75 on ebay a couple of years ago. 😀

It’s on our wall at home… with Sting, Eowyn’s sword, Balian’s sword (from Kingdom of Heaven) and a couple of misc daggers to the left of it… and Arwen’s sword, Hadhafang above it. ^.^

I’ll take a pic of the wall tonight. 😀 I rather like how our swords look together. ^.^

Dont paint him blue 😀 Thats about the extent of my knowlege 🙁

I dunnoooo, I might have too 😀 A blue wolf would look SO COOL.

Funny thing is… a friend of mine bought one… she wants me to paint it some combination of blue and silver… as those are her fav colors… 😆

Oh I hope my two came today! So I can bring them to work tomorrow to contemplate them! 😆

[ladybrooklyn]

Wow! Love it! 😀 Simple… classy… very nice! 😀

[ladybrooklyn]

Oh how goregous!!!

I really hope I can add some Gryphons to my collection soon… I fear he’ll go out of my price range… but still watching. 😀
