Thank you!:)
Finished another dragon over the weekend. Its name is Nebula and it’s the same Sparks paint as before, but over a white base instead of black.
The color is a bit stronger in the photos than irl. It’s been too cloudy to go outside and take more accurate photos.
There is glitter mixed into its topcoat but the camera just kind of blurred it all together.
The piece of star glitter which family or group it’s from, since I plan on painting quite a few of them.This one will be heading off to a friend soon.
And just for comparison…
Black base vs white base!
In order to earn a bit of money for the holidays I have decided to a one or two-off commission. It will be on a FCFS basis.

Do you take payment plans or have any “Terms of Service”:
First payment will be 2x the price of the figure (figure + down deposit) + shipping to me + PP fees if I am going to buy the figure from the store. If I am being sent the figure from the commissioner or from the store the down deposit will only be the price of the figure + PP fees.
Second payment will be the remainder of the commission cost + shipping to the commissioner + PP fees.Allow 2 – 6 weeks for the figure to be completed. Larger and more complex figures will take longer to paint.
A clear idea and/or reference photos is greatly appreciated, but I can work with something like “silhouette/scenery of x” or “space-themed.”
I have a lot of paint, rhinestones, and glitter, so I can work on anything from simple pieces to bright flashy ones.I reserve the right to refuse a commission for any reason.

While more of a lurker on the forum, I am responsive to PMs and emails, so if you have a question about something those are the best methods of contacting me.Thank you everyone for your kind comments on the piece! I just finished another of these small dragons over the weekend too.
This one is called Supernova and I based it around the super colorful photos of nebulas. It’s a mix of Sparks paint over a black base with a glittery glossy top coat. My camera makes it look kind of flat but irl it’s more of a shiny metallic oil slick and very beautiful in natural sunlight.
I found a seller that had PYO mini figures and finished this little fella a couple of weeks ago. Took a weekend to paint from start to finish. Its name is Comet.
The gryphon is done!
It’s a little basic compared to my other pieces, but hey sometimes less is more. Even though it’s hard to see the wings have holographic glitter on them (and when has a holographic effect ever been easy to photograph?).
I couldn’t think of a name for it but maybe something will come to me in time.
I’ve taken a break from the dragon and started working on this little fella instead. The wings look a bit filmy because of the layer of ultra fine glitter on them.
Its little socks came out super well, but I’m not sure about the claws; they stand out quite a bit and I might change them to blue depending on whether or not I can balance that color out elsewhere.
Finished a small thing.
(very shiny rear…)It’s name is Sweet Nostalgia. I painted this to use up excess paint I mixed for Candy-Corn.
Aaaaand she’s done!
This is my newest finished piece, Candy-Corn! She’s a saccharine-sweet mix of white, pink, purple, blue, and teal, with honey-yellow eyes. Working on this sweetheart was a real treat.
She also has a case of anger-face when you look at her head-on. I think she learned it from Solstice.
Nice color choice for your wedding and I agree – it’s a very crisp and smart combo.
And a WIP photo of my current piece.
This’ll probably be finished up pretty quickly. The mane and tail should be the most time-consuming out of what I want to do with it.
Thank you Suzanne-Marie!:)
Ela_Hara – I originally picked it out as something different to try and was really surprised at how nice it was when I had it in-hand. Sadly they don’t seem very photogenic, at least as far as the store photo is concerned.
I’ve come up with some ideas for a couple more Kitty Griffins; just gotta chip away at some of my unfinished art projects first before I can buy em.Thank you everyone! I’m glad you like this bright little guy!
Scarletdrite, I just paint these for myself. I’ve given some of my old ones to friends, but the rest are either in my room or on my big display cabinet.
pipsxlch, I’ve noticed the kittygriffins don’t seem to be too popular even though they’re very cute irl (and nicely palm-sized).
A bit belated but thank you!^^
This is the newest piece I’ve finished, named Cheering.
He was originally going to have cheetah spots on his body, but I loved the solid blue so much I decided to keep it as-is. The only cheetah-based marks I kept were the lines at his muzzle.
Cheering = Cheetah + Spring
