  • I present ‘Prince Johnny-Seed’ the apple themed barong. This sculpt was so damn fun to paint and I have lots more fruit themed ideas for this sculpt. I have decided this one is going to stay within my personal collection for now.

  • After proof of concept worked, I went to town fussy cutting & carefully, selectively sticking washi PET tape to onto the saddle. Some of the stickers were really hard to get wrinkles out of because of curves in the sculpt, some I just had to accept.

  • This has definitely been a ‘trust the process’ project because after the initial antiquing I was convinced I’d ruined it. I also switched some colours around on the saddle and went with dark pawpads/lips compared to the original concept which I think looks much better.

  • Started on the windstone barong pyo. I’ve planned this one around an apple theme & am planning to do some experiments with washi tapes for the saddle decoration.

  • Completed pet portrait. This commissioners companion rock pidgeon was lovingly handpainted on a windstone pyo rock dragon. They’ve already had this piece for a while. I just like showing the wip lead up to the finals.

  • Put the finishing touches on the commission pyo. Using model foliage on a sculpt was new for me, but I’m so pleased with how selective foliage placement has made this 💯 more awesome!

  • I love how with some antiquing and details, windstone sculpts suddenly pop to life! I’m calling the painting done on this now. I’m planning to selectively gloss parts of the dragon to bring out the metallic colours & see if adding some model foliage to the rock will make this more awesome.

  • ‘Star Dreams’ windstone pyo gryphon. This piece is based on the Australian female red tailed black cockatoo. Only the females of this bird species have this beautiful yellow to red gradient & the dusting of yellow spots/stripes on their feathers. This one is staying with me. But I will always consider commission requests for windstone…

  • After being neglected due to work, I’m determined to finish this gryphon off. Completed the antiquing and drybrushing aspect of the shading & feather details. Eyes are sitting in there so I could get a feel of how it’s coming along.

  • Phew, the base colours are done! When you’re painting darks next to a light painted area, never scrimp on your masking as it’ll save you a world of hurt.
