I think that the Amethyst color would go over very well if it was turned into a production color 😀
it’s a “girly” color and would be a good contrast to having the other production colors of redfire, brown, and green. ^^ my two cents 😛www.nakaseart.com
😮 are you still taking offers on the ruby oriental? (I’m sure I can get it, but I do have birthday money left over ^^; )
EDIT: : something came up and had to use the money. I really hope someone can give your sun oriental a wonderful home <3www.nakaseart.com
xD I do believe Melody, that you have quite a few eager customers who are -very- willing to wait for a batch <3
I’d suggest letting most go to the store, but keep a few “extras” for ebay so you’ll get a bit more ^_~ 8D feed the addiction!! lol and profit from it xDDDD lmaowww.nakaseart.com
Thank you <3333
It’s quite a surprise really…my first Windstone!!!! I was thinking about finally starting my collection with PYOs once they were back in stock <3 and maybe the new amytheyst curlie, they don't cost too much xD

Thanks. I’ve been in bed for three days. The next step in the recovery process is to start staggering around the house with half a brain.
Drink some hot coco <3 caffeine with warmth ^^ don't forget to drag your sketch book with you for when the caffeine hits your brain <3

I’ve been wanting a Sun since I saw them many years ago…but an Oriental Luck one would be lovely ^^ Would you release them in the store? Or E-bay? In the store, us mortals, have at least a chance in getting one instead of paying huge amounts of money. >_>;www.nakaseart.com
The blackfire seems very metalic in the photo : However, the Violetgold seems more vibrant. Also, when using a complimentary color for the eyes is really makes the colors ‘pop’ while the orange in the blackfire blends in. I’d say go with what got the most popularity, for production’s sake however a limited release of the violetgold could be a good idea to keep in mind. <3

um…is Natase a typo for Nakase? o_0 *points to date* or is just a April fools joke?

I agree with Nytetyger, and Misato on this subject. If you didn’t want one, why didn’t you pass them by and let the people who really wanted them buy them. I might even suggest this is a scam, or a-kin to abusing the site.
my two cents/opinion.

What kind of airbrushes do you use for the Windstones? I’ve recieved some birthday money, and was hoping to invest it into a nice airbrush, asscessories, and a few PYOs. Is there a specific brand that is the best? Certain paints, tips, etc??? All I have to spend is $350, and if I can’t get the airbrush, I’ll be looking into Corel Painter 11.
Thank you in advance for your replies and your time,

We use imported Iwata trigger type airbrushes. I don’t think this exact model is available in art stores.I just did a google search and didn’t find all the sizes we use; I could only find the bigger “spray gun” models.
I don’t know much about the button types that are available, though I do love Iwata brand! The parts go together so nicely that they don’t leak. Maybe all modern airbrushes are as well machined now, but I know my old Pasche and Thayer-Chandler needed to have their leaky nozzles sealed with wax each time they were removed and replaced.
The only problem we have ever had with Iwatas is with the weld on the paint cups breaking, but even that problem has been rare among our hundreds of hard-used airbrushes.
*Edit* You will also need an air supply ( bottle or compressor), and some kind of regulator and air dryer on the line. Water in the lines is less of a problem with painting gypsum sculpture because it likes moisture, but it is aggravating to have your carefully airbrushed piece of 2d art wrecked with a droplet of water splatted on it!
A good book on airbrushing: http://www.amazon.com/Airbrush-Painting-Art-Techniques-Projects/dp/0871921383
This is written by my college airbrush teacher!Corel Painter makes my computer burn up, but it is SOOO neat! (I have manged to use that program by putting packs of “blue ice” around the processor, but that’s kind of a nuisance!)
Thank you so much for replying 😀 <3
I too did a quick google search and I think I may have found the “trigger” type you are talking about.
http://www.dixieart.com/Iwata_Revolution_Airbrushes.html – at the bottom of that page there are two types of trigger airbrush guns. The one with the longer trigger seems to be a better idea, and is still within my budget.They have so many different types of hoses too, what is good? They also have that filter thing you suggested. 🙂
The site also has these bottles( http://www.dixieart.com/Iwata_Medea_Bottles_and_Assemblies.html ) do you have to have one for every color you have?
I understand the best will be pricey, and I want to get something reliable since I’m going to be investing so much into it. I deeply appreciate you helping me with such a big decision.(The father-in-law wants me to do a painting on his motorcycle once I get good enough)

I have a wacom graphire, and I have a 1.6 ghz Dual Core but I really would like to look into the airbrush first :
