Can I get the punch bowl to go with those glasses….;)
Oh ho ho ho 😛
And just a little update about the magnets, i’ve told a few people who PM’ed me but i thought i’d mention there is now going to be a little something of a wait for new orders just until i sort out a magnet-supply problem that of course only came up when i actually had orders to fill LOL I only made a few of these magnets up as a trial run so i need a little time to get more done heh heh 😳 Sorry about that!

Glad you think so! She’s a little different but i like having variations of a certain coloration ^_^

LOL that occured to me as well, not exactly the kind of gryphon you can send as a scout LOL

(I really have decided I don’t have enough paitence. I do okay with painting, but there’s always some point where I go “eh, screw it!” and just finish that bit off any old way.)
Thank you ^_^
LOL there’s always a few moments like that where i was tempted to go “meh good enough” or where i thought i’d screwed it all up LOL I think spending the last two years doing independent work as part of my art degree helped me train myself to just be patient and see it through, since i’ve spent weeks doing really tedious stuff in order to get a good end result LOL (Like the time i spent eight hours straight printing 40 plates on a single 10′ x 4′ piece of cloth LOL)

GREAT work, again. I didn’t realize this was your first go at it! I applaud you!
Awwww i’d love to do that, just fair warning that i am more of a “slow and steady wins the race” type painter LOL I broke up the painting of this gryphon into probably ten sessions to give the paint a chance to dry so i could accurately see how it looked ^_^ Acrylic can dry drastically darker than you think it will, especially when you add gel medium to make it transparent heh heh
Thank you again! ^___^ I’m an acrylic painter so i’m very familiar with using acrylic paint, just haven’t painted a model anything for years and years. The quality of this sculpture definitely made it worth the pain in my butt that it was to paint! LOL Getting into some places was pretty tricky, nothing like a nice flat canvas! LOL
Quill wrote:That looks incredible!!! Great work! And awesome colors… they almost make me forget I just got rear-ended on the way home from the store 😛
Beautiful job!!!
Holy jumping starfish, i hope you are ok!! *hugs* I’m glad i could distract you from that! LOL
Thanks so much btw, i’m really pleased with my first try ^_^ Now to find an excuse to buy another and take another week or so (collectively) to paint it LOL
Excuse me making a new post but i thought this update may get lost in between the ninja cats and insect porn and giant squirrels of my last thread 😉
So my darling little sunbeam gryphon is all done and glossy-coated and felted on the bottom (which almost gone thrown out by someone, loooong story LOL)
I took way too many photos of her in my attempt to try to capture how the colours change depending on the light, especially since there are about 10 different kinds of interference paint mixed with various gold paints carefully layered overtop the original colouration LOL
Here is how she looks when i used the flash on my camera:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/sunhawk/windstoneflash1.jpgI also decided it would be fitting to put her in some direct sunlight and I liked the results ^_^

Here is a closeup of her beak where i tried to capture the green interference highlights by her eyes:

I also added some green interference to the very tips of her wings, while trying to get a red (not pink) interference on the top of the wing:

And this is how much the interference can glow under strong light like sunlight ^_^

I really had a fun time painting this gryphon, i took way too long blending and reblending and trying to get a nice transition between the colours and just gilding her up all to heck because i’m like that *g* The shinier and sparklier something is, the better! XD

i figured they were, it just sounded funny to say “cover up your cleavage” LOL 😆
Mine are pretty comfy as well, but after 12 hours i’d be feeling the boning against my ribcage LOL
I have a pic of what that green corset did to my skin =P Looked really cool
I’m not sure i want to know! LOL

Thanks!
How about a hundred? They’ll last you through the year! 😉 Actually, nooooo don’t, my hands will break trying to cut that many out LOL
Design a punch?
What do i look like, an engineer? ;P
Sure?
*buys you some glasses for Christmas* 😛
