Totally agree with the above. I don’t play, but I appreciate them for display purposes. I think this would be awesome!
What a lovely package, whisper! A beautiful kitty, and a good book to read! chibishiro spoiled you <3!
Absolutely loving pictures of the snow! They remind me of my Colorado home :’)
We actually got some snow here in College Station, Texas, too! It wasn’t enough to stick on the asphalt, but it covered the vegetation and cars. Very cool!
Boxes should be arriving soon! Ackkk, I can’t wait! <3
I’m heading to the post office today to ship off a Secret Santa gift for another forum that I’m part of… Wish me luck 😉
Wild troll baby!
Gah, what a cutie!Some people may like Windstones because they don’t look like other fantasy pieces, but I can’t imagine that’s why everyone likes them. After all, how many white unicorn sculptures are there out there? A lot, certainly. But the white Windstone unis are special in spite of this 8)
In regards to color scheme, I don’t see “another company doing something similar first” as a reason not to explore new or popular options. I think Windstones stand well enough on their own against competition (which, honestly, I can’t think of a single brand off the top of my head)–as said above, the sculpts are so expressive and high quality that the finished piece remains unique and interesting.
Ms. Melody – The cowssss! I love them xD!
Lovely pieces, everyone! I so love seeing what everyone’s got <3
Just sent off a handful of my SMs/LBs to a show for the weekend. I took Overall Reserve in the Mini Custom division at the last one I attended, so we’ll see what happens this time around!
What a gorgeous piece, Syn!
The tricky thing about Windstones is that I’m constantly finding new ‘grails’–does it ever end?! xD
For me, the answer depends on how we define art. If we’re including things like literature and music, my answer is going to be considerably different than if we’re limiting our focus to more traditional mediums.
If we’re talking more in terms of traditional art (painting, sculpting, drawing, etc), I think I do it because on one hand it’s something I greatly admire, and on the other it’s because I enjoy tokens of completion. I’m a huge fan of professional pieces (especially originals) ; I only wish that I could produce to such a capacity, so sometimes I try my hand at it almost as a sort of homage or gesture of respect.
My skills are generally pretty lacking (and I tend not to do things I’m not at least inherently /decent/ at) so I don’t create art in this form all that frequently.Music is something I do almost out of social necessity (a poor way to describe it, but I can’t think of an alternative). It’s like… other people in my social sphere do, and so I must as well. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t hate it either. I don’t play as frequently as I used to (I think I peeked during my adolescence in this regard).
Writing is something that I do constantly, both professionally (I can’t say how fortunate I am to have this as my career) and leisurely. It’s honestly just an extension of myself, and I can’t imagine not doing it.
I wonder if you could fill this ‘compulsion’ (a word I use not in the clinical sense) with something else? Do you have any other hobbies you enjoy? Going to the gym, creating in some other capacity, hanging out with peers? If it really doesn’t bring you happiness in any way, shape, or form, I would consider finding something to fill the space.
Kujacker – Absolutely. Still, some materials require a great deal of prep work prior to painting. That’s mostly what I was referring to. Do PYOs come ready to paint, or do they need a lot of sanding/priming/scrubbing/filling/etcetc.
Natasha – Those colts are just beautiful! I can’t decide whether I like the stripes or the spots better as a whole 😉
Who’s your favorite~?
