Looks like I completely forgot to post the PYO commission I did here! This is Mountain Blossom! She has a cherry blossom scene on one side and a close-up of a branch on the other. The main body has an ultra matte varnish on it while anything that is painted has a satin coating for contrast.
Included are some close-ups of the scenery and branch.
Solar Eclipse doesn’t really work for me on the dragon half of the rock dragon. All those tiny scales cause too much antiquing imo. The rock half looks cool though, like molten gold is starting to break through the piece.
A bootleg Windstone found right on etsy’s first page. I have contacted John about it.
Thanks. I really like how well the mica blended into each other.
This is the third time I think where the eyes got stuck in a PYO’s sockets for me.
You ever get a PYO that is just so stubborn you wanna scream in frustration? This one was one of those pieces for me.
Presenting Winter Opal! I had planned to finish this quickly, but the paint fought me so much on it. The plan was to just finish it up in 2 days but in the end it took twice as long.
Its eyes were such a snug fit that I couldn’t get them out after they were placed in the sockets to test them. I guess the ki-rin decided it wanted light blue eyes and didn’t care about its other options!
The fur is coated in mica and has a beautiful pearl effect.
The paint I used on the belly scales came out with a few too many defects (it’s supposed to be a very mirror-y metallic blue), so I added little frosty accents to hide the oops spots.
Another DIY kit’s done, which means another round of poorly-taken photos of it! Yay!
Close-up-ish photos of the interior of the piece:
It’s a little house that doubles as a lantern. Sadly it doesn’t light up as the batteries are dead and I don’t have any replacements.
Some of the original design was modified since a couple pieces were just way too small to properly cut out or I needed to hide some ugly spots.I’m opening up a commission slot! The information for it is over here: https://windstoneeditions.com/members/mika/listings/view/1656224/pyo-commission-slot-open/
It’s been a while since a direct (and poorly done) recast has been spotted. That’s a pretty bad seam line on his chest scales.
Thank you!
The Kitty Griffins just kind of go “nothing quite matches but I’m cute anyways!”
I can only imagine how much of a pain it is getting wings to match up properly on such detailed figures.
Aaaaaannnnd done!
This is Winter Wing! He’s another piece I tea stained.
I really like the dark accents and how well his wings contrast with the more natural coloration of the body.And he is for sale! His ad is right over here if you’re interested: https://windstoneeditions.com/members/mika/listings/view/1655935/winter-wing-kitty-griffin-for-sale/
