Description This wasn't really meant to be a chesspiece, but it reminded me of a knight when I was sculpting it. I made this a week ago when I really need to get this sculpy bug out of me. I probably should have been doing my homework. XD Anyway, it's Wolf Nymph in gryphon form, just for fun!

Size: Approximatly 2" tall
Medium: Sculpy Firm
Painted with acrylics, coated with a spray enamel and embellished with green Peridot gems

Wow. O.O That is just... Uh, I can't say it's greatest tiny figure I've seen, 'cause I do collect Warhammer figures, but even so this one caught my eyes emmediately. Its great! It's beautiful! All those details and that smooth coloring (have you ever tried to paint a Warhammer figure?)

Hmm, and it made me to think... If we just imagine thet you would ever do a commissions of these, how much you'd think they'd cost? 'Cause I surely would like to have at least one of them!

KatieHofgard In reply to Paperiapina [2007-09-24 18:02:20 +0000 UTC]

Hooray, I'm happy you like it! XD I haven't tried, I have a friend who does that though and he's REALLY good at it. Tiny brushes are a blessing. Anyway, I actually am going to take commissions for these. I will send you a note!

Paperiapina In reply to KatieHofgard [2007-09-25 16:25:12 +0000 UTC]

Yup, thank yous to gods for tiny paintbrushes.
Oh, you do take commissions? That's great! I still have some stuffing in my Paypal begging to be wasted on "cool stuff" like these. I'll stalk my notes then.

Very cool! Would you take commissions for them? I think they would sell well (you probably have one potential costumer already )

KatieHofgard In reply to Ekujo [2007-09-11 05:20:40 +0000 UTC]

I'm actually trying to fill one commission slot for these right now! If you're interested, drop me a note, I'd be happy to elaborate. =3

Well, I didn't mean for it to actually be a chesspiece, but if I had to assign it one, I think it would be a knight. =3

Cybertiger-formhell In reply to KatieHofgard [2007-09-10 16:23:11 +0000 UTC]

why dont you make a hold seat and sell it, it would proble sell well

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

KatieHofgard In reply to Cybertiger-formhell [2007-09-11 05:22:14 +0000 UTC]

Because it took me about 12 hours to make this one piece, and I am both employed and have full time school. In other words, I simply don't have the time.
