Is there any chance there will be a Kirin release of the copper patina? I see the oos baby Kirin but am curious if there will be releases in the family, or maybe the intense patina on the babies? I love the purple interference (?) on them<3

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)My jaw is dropping over the close-up of the Keeper shared by Gina- and the Galactic Shadow pieces are brilliant as well! That link worked fabulously. 😀
Consider me in the same boat, Ann Marie!

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)Thank you, Etruscan. ^^ I’ve been through the special galleries, but know there are test paints that haven’t shown up in the Windstone galleries.
Just curious if there have been other space themed test paints because the black nebula has such a striking presence with the contrasting colors and what with advances in deep space imaging, there are certainly other space themes to be explored OR have explored. :>
Sounds like I should let this latest TP inspire my next PYO! XD

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)Black nebula is such a pretty test paint color- typical of my taste, I really love the Oriental dragons and Kirin…. The bookends are a sleeper sculpt that looks particularly good in this scheme, too. A lovely job by miss Gina.
Random- does anyone have record of other space themed test paints? I’m curious as to what else might be out there in the universe. <3

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)The gradient work on your pegasus is looking lovely 🙂
You’ve also done well with the subtle highlights of your kitty memorial piece. Looking forward to seeing it all come together

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)I love how unique the patterning looks on both sculpts. It reminds me of cuttlefish, or tropical frogs. 🙂

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)Very nice work.❤️
Thank you kindly! I’ve been working on blending the silver/blue edges into the darker body. I’m not sure I intended to lean so heavy on highlights, cause things are brightening up some, overall. A more serious update, if you will! :b

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)Much time, with no postings. I was feeling out some design elements for my first pyo griffin. While tinkering, I realized another project piece peering out of the clutter of the paint supplies. With the way the bug bit me, I’ve got a few WIP figures going at a time, rotating through them as I take breaks or need to wait for paint to dry. I’m sure other painters can relate!
I had to add some Extra to this, because I know that snerl is judging my not finishing it before starting MORE projects. Maybe both these feathered fellas will be finished round the same time?!

Fingers crossed I make it to the waitlist this time. I missed out on colorful ponycorns, so it’d be dreamy to get one of these lovelies.Silly question- any koi plans for this sculpt? ^^ My first windstone was the gb qi-lin last year. ^^

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)I’m not sure how to reach you for a quote, but I have a male kirin in need of some TLC. He’s been shared in a post I made about removing adhesive. No luck yet with ideas I haven’t tried, and so I think you might be the pro to replace my efforts.
(Sharing the pic here- biggest fix is the pictured leg and glue drops + some ill repaired scuffs)
If you’d DM me, I’d love to hear your thoughts/get an idea on cost. 🙂

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)A pic for posterity-
You can see some of the yellowed glue on the fellas tummy and all the exposed gypsum is covered in glue as well. Won’t budge with rubbing alcohol or stronger solvents. My next move is to try and use heat. :sI think this was repainted with nail polish… it’s been a fighter to come off as well. Haaa

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)I use soft. I use a blade to shave the pastels into a dust and apply them with a dry brush. The only downside of this way of painting is it takes many layers to build up the colors, so it is time intensive.
Now [i]that[/i] is a cool idea. I’ll bet you could get some beautiful subtle shifts. Do you use anything as a fixative for it? I know soft pastels easily create a mess and I’m wondering how much it might move around after being applied or if there’s a way to reduce how many layers you need to apply.
On a side note, just to explain, I didn’t use my copics directly on the figure. I have lots of refill/ink vessels, so I just used a brush to apply. I can’t imagine how beat the pen tip might get being used on gypsum. X) I love the effects you can get, almost like watercolor. REALLY wish there was a way to keep things colorfast. :’)

Grail: March 2023 raffle piece (a girl can dream!)Wow! Violet flame is one of my favorite colors in the Windstone line and had no idea it was inspired by a happy(?) accident.
It’s also good to hear more about what can happen while using alcohol inks- particularly in use with windstone figures. I’d been debating taking anther shot using them to dye a base coat, but think I’ll resist. :’)
