Very nice! I like the soft feeling. Did you use acrylics or watercolors? The blending is soft enough it looks like it could be watercolor or even tea stain.
I also was looking at doing a quagga lionfish! Kind of inspired by Quigga the Quagga (a carousel ‘horse’ for a carousel being built in Albany, Oregon) and know of at least one other forum member who had the same idea of a quagga inspired hippocampus. I can’t wait to see everyone’s take on it. 🙂
acrylics =) specifically Apple Barrel from hobby lobby
Update for m e since space has been cut down:
Grab Bag Cougar (preferably in some sort of leopard print)
Cow-Patterned grab bag poadMale Dragon (not sure on color though)
Male Griffon (would love a Ocelot)
Stegosaurus (or other Dinos! =D )
Well, if someone wins something they don’t want…give it away to someone who does want it! That way you can enter the raffle again later and no worries. And you also make another forum member’s day! 🙂
That’s an awesome caveat! If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Windstones is that if it’s not to my taste, it’s definitely something someone else will love!
my main concern about this is luck
I’ve been with Windstone for 4 years, entered every raffle. I’ve not won
If i did actually in, and then gave it away because it wasn’t one I wanted….who knows if i’ll EVER win again?
For me, my luck tends to strike once and that is it =/ as much as I”d like to make another forum member happy, the possibility is there that you will never, ever win again and lost your only chance at it
Just m akes me hesitant to go with that route, because while it’d be nice to make someone happy…i’d also potentially never see anything myself for it, because I don’t see myself ever being lucky enough to win twice
Ditto! There are some things I don’t collect…
watch me actually win for once…and it be something I don’t really have a spot for >.>
if i ever paint another, i think i’ll go quagga-lionfish (these are color designs i came up with before getting my PYO )
If anyone wants, i’m actually doing a work in progress, step-by-step (almost) of it here

What are you painting her with? Water colors? The staining is just beautiful!
Apple Barrel acrylics from Hobby lobby =P
it’s jsut paint slathered on XD no staining. Just coats of Antique Gold as a base, and then blending the white in over it
Ooooo! I like so far! I hopefully will get started on mine this weekend. As for stripes……where are you wanting them? On the horse part or the scales?
the fish part =) the horse part would stay white
and the stripes would be faded towards the horse part, adn brow bolder towards teh tail
