      Washing old paint off is an arduous process because of all the nooks and crannies these sculpts have. I typically put flashing on the eyes and then spray matte primer evenly over the whole figure instead. The flashing is to keep the eyes from getting painted over. If you haven’t put clear coat on yet then you can just paint over everything with a neutral color and start over. Primer is for when you have a piece that’s already been clear coated.

        😀 Thanks Landipan! Best way to exercise the creativity when you have limited options!

          Very smooth looking! I really like the dusty purple/pink color you’ve got going on with this kirin. Really goes well with the golden and brown accents.

            Lovely job shading that hippocampus! What color eyes do you plan on using?

              Just finished two PYO repaints. I don’t have the funds (thanks to being laid off) to buy blank sculpts but I still want to paint. So I took two PYO sculpts I had that didn’t hurt too much to part with and repainted them.

              ‘Autumn Karma’
              'Autumn Karma' PYO Keeper Dragon Repaint
              This dragon is painted in all metallic autumn colors. I’m very proud of how he turned out. His major colors are red, gold and green. Get it? 😉 He’s for sale in the classified section at the moment.

              ‘Glacial Waters’
              'Glacial Waters' PYO Fancy Kirin Repaint
              This ‘Fancy’ kirin is painted in colors that remind me of cold, glacial waters on a bright, sunny day. In addition his scales are coated in a layer of blue/green colorshift paint and overall he has a thin layer of holographic ‘magic’ paint. He is also for sale in the classified section.

                Lovely work, but my sympathies on the eye strain! Certain black and white patterns bother my eyes too.

                  The rivoli gems are really fascinating set in the dragon’s face. Looking forward to seeing this one painted.

                    *I will not paint the Muse for commission. This is personal preference.
                    **This sculpt is not available yet. So I have no pricing information at this time.
                    ***Pricing is unique for this sculpt. Because its surface is super smooth, it allows for complex images to be painted on it. The higher part of the price range is for illustrated images.

                    Type of paint/materials used: Acrylics, Interference, color change/magic, Pearl-Ex Powders, standard synthetic brushes and toothpicks. I use brush on sealers that are UV resistant.

                    Brand of paint used: Galleria, Liquitex, Golden, Spaz-Stix (on request), color shift powder pigments and a small number of miscellaneous acrylics (Americana, etc).

                    Are pet portraits offered?: Yes, but I will need clear pictures of both sides of your pet.

                    Do you do duplicates of other’s commissions/paint schemes?: No. If you commission me, I will not duplicate your original idea/paint scheme for someone else. I do not duplicate other artist’s paint schemes knowingly. I will duplicate my OWN previously existing paint schemes. i.e. I would duplicate paint schemes like ‘Nebula’ or ‘Forests of the Night’ because they’re mine.

                    Do you do production piece repaints on commission?: No. I only do repaints for myself. However, I am willing to duplicate any of my repaint’s paint schemes on PYO pieces. i.e. I would be willing to duplicate ‘Star Heart’s’ paint scheme on a PYO.

                    Shipping method: Double-boxed. Bubble wrap & peanuts. In the packaging I get the sculpt in.

                    Shipping rates/insurance: Tracking & insurance required. I use USPS/UPS and ship from the zipcode of 30907. I will charge a flat rate of $21/item. If I do not use all the s/h money for shipping costs I will refund the difference.

                    Ships to: US & Canada

                    Artist location: Georgia, USA

                    Other comments: I work with the eyes/gem stones that are provided by Windstone Editions unless it’s something I painted outside of a commission. If you want other eyes/gem stones, you will have to cover the additional costs. My painting speed varies depending upon my work/life schedule and complexity of the paint scheme. I will give a rough estimate of completion time when you contact me and describe what it is you want.

                    Payment Methods & “Terms of Service”: I accept Paypal. When you pay me, please use the ‘paying for goods/services’ option. I accept payment for commissions in installments if you want, just let me know you want to do that when you first contact me. Payments must be completed within a reasonable amount of time that we can settle on after your initial contact.

                    On all commissions there must be a non-refundable down payment. Down payment is sending me the sculpture you want painted or the cost of the sculpture + s/h. I subtract the down payment from the total cost of the commission. So if you send me a sculpt straight from Windstone, I will subtract the amount on the invoice from the cost of the commission. If I will be ordering the sculpt, please let me know what color eyes/gems you want so I can get the correct ones. I don’t have spares!

                    I will send progress pictures to you via e-mail if you wish. Initially, these can look messy. It’s not a disaster so please don’t panic. It’s just the nature of how I paint with washes. If something happens, I will let you know and we can proceed from there. If I finish ahead of schedule on a large commission I will patiently wait until the planned end of the installment payments. The lines of communication are always open. If I don’t respond promptly (within a week) to e-mail, something has happened to me. Never hesitate to contact me with concerns.

                    Once full payment has been completed, I will ship the item/items and provide you with tracking information.

                    If you change your mind on a commission, I reserve the right to keep or sell it to cover costs. My finances CAN’T afford mistakes or changes of heart. Also note, any payment you send OUTSIDE of the down payment will be refunded if you choose to cancel a commission. I will also give a refund if the unthinkable happens and the sculpt breaks during shipping (but you must provide proof via photo).

                    I will not accept trades as a form of payment for commission.

                      If you wanted to start over from scratch, I would suggest priming the whole figure with krylon (or rustoleum) matte primer. But for touch ups you could try a brush on primer. Brush it over the claws and then paint over the primer. Unfortunately I can’t offer any suggestions on what kind of spray finishes to use over PVC type plastic. I use brush on finishes.

                        Oh lovely work. Please do post the results of your PYO work. The detail painting on your leaf and flower casts is beautiful in detail and subtle shading and should translate amazingly on a PYO. Looking forward to it!

                            Thank you for the kind comments. I haven’t really been around here much because my heart just hasn’t been into it. I haven’t been feeling too hot emotionally lately so by the time I finish job applications I’m just too drained to take the time to come to the forum. I had to pack all my Windstones and put them into storage and it just hurts too much right now. I’m only just getting back some of my artistic spirit and that’s going to have to go to any commissions I get. In the meantime, have fun everyone and see you around.

                              Eclipse is a very handsome looking phoenix. I can get hints of the shifting color on his tail. Gorgeous work!

                                  Here’s my first kitty griffin. I used him to test out my metallic red pigment. Success! He’s done entirely in metallic colors. Red, gold, copper, bronze, pearl and purples. His eyes are metallic tan. I belted him out in about a day. Hadn’t posted him because I wasn’t in the right place mentally, but here he is now!
