UPDATE 5/12/13
Decided to post smaller versions in post #1 Gallery style, and bigger versions in their own posts, so here’s higher resolution versions of the mama foo.
If you want to see full resolution, right click and ‘open image in new tab’ and it’ll open with the un-resized version.

___________________________________________________________________UPDATE 3/2/13
The Kirin is done! I haven’t thought of a name for her yet, but I’m very pleased with how she came out (not particularly pleased with the photos, but I’ve never been good at photographing things…) The camera kind of blew out the nice blends in the browns and makes her look darker than she really is. Her colors were inspired by those end of summer days that get all gold and warm. (haha, can you tell I’m excited for winter to be over?)My favorite part to do was her scales: they’re a mix of olive green diluted with yellow ochre, pearl, and interference gold, so they’ve got a nice glowy luster.
She had the spots that I’d planned in the picture until the very end, when I decided I didn’t like them, and painted over them. The hard way to the simpler end.

Plans for the next one. I actually have had the kirin longer than the wolf, but I think I wanted to practice first, because I plan on keeping the kirin.Thoughts?
***********************************************************************************************************************
First one!
I really waffled between doing a ‘sun wolf’ or a ‘moon wolf’ both in much more natural color schemes…but then I coudln’t resist this once it popped into my head. I’m not usually one for crazy color schemes (I prefer the natural look) but, I guess…butterflies -are- natural, aren’t they?
She’s done in acrylic, with metalic blue, peridot, and gold faded through her wings, and peridot and gold on her face, with a blued down face on her feet and tail. She sports white spots on the back of her ears, her face, and her front legs, inspired by a monarch butterfly. She has yellow eyes, they really pop with her golden-green face.
I haven’t sealed her/him yet, and I’m thinking maybe some gold interference over her white spots might be nice. We’ll see. She’ll be for sale or trade when finished. E-mail me if interested at starhorse2020 (at) yahoo.com
Here’s mine!
I originally had teal eyes and jewels, but they just ended up blending in. I like red much better 😀
New Gothics?! *squeeeeeaaakkk!!!!* Thats my favorite sculpt! I’m super excited to see it come back!
*hopes for old ivory, pronghorn, or …black and tan goat, maybe?*
Well, I hope they stick around long enough for my budget to recover from GBB uni and the baby peg (that I really shouldn’t have afforded but got anyway)
I wouldn’t have minded tan eyes, either, if later batches change. Either way, I still like the color.
I’d love to see anything but paint pukes–not exactly my cup of tea. Safari, ‘soft fantasy’ or a fantasy batch like the lichens, would be lovely.
That being said, Seems I might be well out of my budget, but I love to look at them even if I won’t be able to afford one.
I only have an itty bitty pic of mine. This is my pride and joy, and a piece I enjoy every day. ^.^ “Color Sunburst Griffin”, and a test paint. Chillin’ with his GB uni pal.
Looks like he got a really cool sketch with him, too! (even just by the back half of it, lol)
Not usually a fan of pink, and I’m definitely more team hoofer than anything, but that’s a pretty cool looking little dragon!
Wow! He’s a stunner! So glad to finally see a dark hoofer sculpt without white–that ruins it for me. 🙂 I really shouldn’t be buying Windstones right now, but… :love:
Mee, too! I love just straight, silky black :}
Nice facial markings on the dragon! I especially love the unicorn though, it’s hard to pull red eyes off, but they look fantastic!
