ok, so as promised here’s the new girl, a dragon for daveyboy! he wanted a dragon that was inspired by the d&d chromatic/color spectrum dragon, containing red, green, blue, but also black and white. a five color dragon. since it was about those colors only, i had to keep em clean with minimal to no gradation, lest we get unwelcomed colors involved. i made the white pearl white so it was too sharp, and matched with the rest of the metallic colors. this one was a little tricky to give each color its due respect, but i think this worked out pretty well, without making the patterning overly simple. this one makes me think of a windstone edition acid test with those electric colors, particularly when you have the red up against the blue and green!! it makes the red vibrate! lol! we’ll see what you guys think as this one is a little different!

[/img]man your collection is mushrooming!! you have come quite a ways in a real hurry! lucky you! you really make me want a ruby male darnit!! your em.peas look awesome too! ok, i’ll take the ruby male ,ruby young, em.pea male and the em. pea young! thanks! lol! 😛 they look so good!!! >.< congrats!!
annnnnnnnd gryphondreamer wins the griff for 63 bucks! lucky gryphondreamer and lucky griffin, she’s a good momma!
hey thanks folks! glad you like! i had to kind of sit and think for a little in order to paint him to look a little wicked…. normally i try to make them look nice or magical, so they are a little more universally appealing. it was nice for a change to do a little something different! i like having commissions because such totally different ideas get brought to the table- its refreshing!
yes, he is very glossy! we played it down in the pics too, so the paint job could be seen, but he has a real wet look to him. i was up in the air about it with the black, because it looked sharp very matte, but then the red areas HAD to be glossy to make the color work right (couple layers of different paints).it almost looked cool half glossy /half matte, but i opted for all glossy for uniformitys’ sake. next i am making his sibling in black and deep greens for his momma, so she can have the coordinating pair. 🙂
as for the griff, he ends tonight, so if anyone wants to take a stab at him, knock yourself out! 😉
i’ll add pics on here in a couple days of another commission dragon i just finished- this one is a real trip with the colors and a bugger to paint…. i just need the final approval from his daddy! 🙂that is really wierd, as the thumbnail pic WAS correct prior!!!!! that was a piece i kinda wanted so i always checked up on its availability and it was always right… someone got corn-fused somewhere.lol
ha! i knew you would!! with all the squeaking going on i knew it would help you decide where the interest would lie sculpt wise! i actually asked in a different thread several days ago if someone could make one, cuz i didn’t know how, but i kinda got shut down on the idea… http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4055&start=30 now with your request i’m sure it will happen promptly! this will be cool to see which piece people root for!!!! 😀 this will be interesting as it could be pretty divided this time!
well, its been a little bit since i posted any new stuff.. i have a bunch in the works but these guys i recently finished. i was commissioned by dcc1961 to do a wicked looking black with red dragon, a real devilish fellow, as naughty as one of these little cuties can be, so this is what i came up with. she wanted him to be a very black dragon, but with definite red and a little pop of purple. i managed to mix up a real saucy blood red, yet still a little metallic, so i’ll be using more of that for sure.

of course i have this guy too, the black magic griff to match the dragon from a bit ago. he is up on ebay now if anyone is interested, i think it ends sunday night.

so that is what i have managed to finish as of late..i hope y’all like!! i have a bunch more started, but it takes me forever to do these between work and domestics, etc. >.< its such a tease, i just want to do these all day long and there are quite i few i want to do for myself too. sheesh. i envy all that melody manages to get done, she is needed so many places and she still gets it all done everywhere, from painting poads to sculpting new pyos and production pieces to careful lawyer proceedings! wow! what a woman!! 😳
ohhhhhhh can someone who knows how to make a poll, make one for this? that way it takes all the guess work out for melody of which one is most desirable! it will be so nice n tidy to see which one everyone wants first! squee! 😀
oh ok. 🙂 i was still thinking of the whole delayed release thing of the keeper pyo, due to whatever copyright issues, or the little dragon pyo looking similar to other production dragons like the young, etc. i was just trying to think of a way to define them as different, even if someone illicitly paints them like a production piece… hmmm. what difficult stuff, but boy you have to protect yourself thoroughly otherwise you won’t have anything left to protect…
well i have a little idea that may help a tiny bit somewhere… with the pyos, why not scribe “pyo” or “paint your own” in the same panel in addition to your signature and date? this would be a “permanent ” part of the piece and would really help to delineate pyos from production pieces. “pyo”/paint your own” could also be stamped on the felt in addition to the windstone logo. this doesn’t help against windstone-esque paint jobs, but it does mark them as different from normal production. 🙂 just a thought.
gasp!! 😯 yes! her too! egad!! oh how pretty she would be, with her gold egg! she still has to be in em.pea though, can’t forget that color!
