What is the body color?
Sorry, I missed this question! For the scales, I used a Liquitex pearl white paint over a white acrylic basecoat. Then I used a very dilute wash of the Burnt Sienna to ‘antique’ the creases and give it some depth.
The Liquitex pearl white is a hint… cooler? greyer? than the factory color, I do remember noting that! But I decided it was close enough that I decided against tinkering with it; from normal viewing distance (i.e., NOT with your nose three inches from the piece as you’re painting it!) there’s not enough difference to make it worthwhile.

Off to a great start for 2023!
For some reason the first handful or so don’t have working links to the auctions; does anyone happen to have those? I’d love to see the final prices.

The alcohol inks give such a cool effect! Too bad about the scene you had planned, but I feel sure you’ll do a great job with the fantasy pinto, too. Those colors look great on him!

Night Flyer is awesome! She reminds me of a Common Grackle, which is one of my favorite birds. <3

Bumping this thread a bit as a gentle reminder, since it’s now the 29th.

I look forward to seeing the PYOs, especially the griffins. Snerl’s release has me delighted, and very ready to see everybody’s artistry on him!

As others have said – this is a thing Ebay tends to push on sellers, even when a lot of them don’t want it (so a lot of them will put it up, but won’t accept an offer less than the starting bid), and it seems to be mostly used as a form of “Buy It Now” where the seller is open to the buyer suggesting a BIN price.

Thank you for all the answers everyone apologies for my confusion. You would think windstone would leave the signature on the bust but put the actual date created and numbered. I found alot of information thanks to the windstone GURU Susie. It’s crazy to know only 5 copper patina hyena gargoyles exists today in the world in 2016 and none others have been created since then. But to this day the website still has it up that they could or could not make more in the future. If only 5 have been made In 2016 and it’s 2022 that has to be a big waiting list. Thank you everyone for the answers.
Susie is awesome! 🙂
And as she notes below, many one-of-a-kind or very limited pieces are numbered, but this is done by hand on the underside of the piece – it would be insanely time-consuming and complicated to create a new mold for every production run!
The Copper Patina color is pretty in itself, but knowing its extra history (as a means of saving things that came out of the mold with flaws) makes it extra cool to me; I love that it isn’t only pretty, but also has a purpose, Maybe one day there will be more Copper Patina gargoyles!

I was browsing Etsy today and ran into two sellers with faux Windstones:
“StoneStatues” has at least a fake Male and fake Mother, maybe more.
Mother: Link
Male: Link“BurgessHomeandGarden” has a fake Dragon Gargoyle: Link

Do you have pictures? How deep are the scuffs – just through the top layer of paint? All the way to the gypsum? On a gold area?
Depending on the color of the piece, and the level of damage, it can be pretty simple to match the paint and cover up a scuff.

Here’s my PYO and the original family, for comparison:
Weirdly, both my Baby Kirins have that very orangey tone on their faces, and on the legs, too, for the Standing Baby, but neither of the adults do. There may be adults out there who have it, though, and if you have ones like that there might be other paints that work better for it; I haven’t tried to match it, so I’m not sure how far off in tone it is from the Liquitex Burnt Siena.

I painted my “partial albino” PYO kirin to match the original family in his non-albino areas. It’s been a few years, but I’m pretty sure the main paint I used was Liquitex Concentrated Arist Color Medium Viscosity Acrylic in “Burnt Siena.”
It was my base color for the chestnut parts, and looks very close to the original family! More so than the Standing Baby, actually, who is more orange in color than my older kirins.
