Check out the 3d section of
this page for examples as I get them up. there’s only one there so far.

Now, $100 I have, and I’d be prepared to offer up to $150, even if it’s a tad much, ‘specially if he’s in good condition. 😛

[Rusti]

I haven’t seen them either, which is why I asked here.

If I can’t offer you money for him, I reckon I’ll just keep looking. Thanks for checking though! 🙂

what do you have to trade? I might part with mine if the trade was somthing I needed.

I don’t really have that much to trade, unfortunately, unless you want artwork or an afghan or a custom PYO. My collection is sadly quite small (4 pieces, not counting PYOs), and I’m trying to grow it a little at a time.

If there was something you wanted to pick up on ebay, or had a price in mind, you could lemme know and we could go from there?

*throws hat into the ring, cuz, why not?*

$100 flat for griffin, dragon and wolf
$105 for Ki’rin (for sculpt price difference)

Anything super detailed would be extra, of course.

Examples (the whole one I have so far) are here at the bottom of the page. I’ll add the red-tailed hawk wolf when he’s done.

I also take commissions for other things too, just gimmie a poke!

[Rusti]

Heh, it’s stalled at the moment, because my classes are dragging me through the dirt!

I’ll post more pics as soon as I do more too it.

Just put up a few designs that I thought would look good as wearables, more to come, I suppose, since I do keep making artwork.

Enjoy the pretty pictures, at least, if you don’t buy. 🙂

Thinking aloud? Digital airbrush sketch over an unpainted PYO picture? It’s basically just a colored sketch of how I wanted it to look.

[Rusti]

Just some progress pics of my second wolf, which is probably a bit of an ambitious undertaking, but, ya never know.

Here’s the ‘mind map’ type thing I did so I can remember vaguely how I wanted it to look:

[Rusti]

I don’t necessarily want to cause problems, myself, and I think your solution is a pretty good one, but I’m confused as to how something so generic as gold highlights isn’t allowed.

It just makes me go ‘buh?’

[Rusti]

I’m a little concerned that they’d be over-guarding if we weren’t allowed to post photos of PYOs we’ve done, so long as we include the sculpture was from windstone (and maybe even a link to where they could order one), etc.

There’s protective and then there’s Protective!. I’m with dragonfeathers, and frozen in that the gold and silver trim thing, outside of a paint job coincidentally similar to a Windstone color scheme, is a little ludicrous, when you consider all the other dragons out there with gold and silver trim, and how the sculptures, artistically, seem to really need it to make ’em pop sometimes.

So what next? If they highlight a sculpture with black or white, we can’t use those either? A little clarification there, would be nice.

[Rusti]

Just curious if anybody’s got one they might sell or trade for.

Ah, I see the copyright notice is up now! Sounds good! Though the gold highlight thing irks me a little.

Yeah, the highlights thing seems like a bit of a stretch, if you ask me, but that’s just my humble opinion.

small world really. I am looking at a koi/with rainbow tat design myself…but I wish I drew them better. I need a koi artist~ I want one that is not so Japanese in style, so mean looking. I want one that is a “cartoon” but more realistic. Kinda like a Disney style Koi…only more like the style they used for the background animals on The Lion King. So realisic..but simple. Hard to explain. I have my first sketch done…but I need help. I too would like to know the differnce in the Koi’s as far as the meanings of the colors…although a light calico is my favorite. ummmmmm

Hey Whippet, like this?

Wow, go figure. Bet the seller’s pleased as punch. What is it with all this stuff going for way more than it’s worth these past couple weeks?
