As promised, I wanted to give this handsome dragon his own post! This is the last surprise to the holiday offers this year. One “Dragon Saga” cast is now listed for a custom paint! This is cast #3, or “Spitfire” as I’ve been calling him, (those bullish horns make me think he’s a stubborn dragon, haha). Long story short, cast #2 is my current focus, so I have not come up with any solid color ideas for Spitfire yet. You all have incredible dragon designs, and might even be inspired by his sculpt so far, so I thought I’d put the offer out there to see if someone has a color idea before I do! If not, it’s not a biggie. Once #2 is finished, if this one is still in waiting, I’ll have a blast coming up with a color scheme for him. Until then? If you have a dragon character that you’d love as a real life sculpture, or if you have some awesome color ideas for this series of casts, I want to hear from you because he could be all yours! *Listing is here with the info for commissioning a custom Dragon Saga paint! https://ko-fi.com/c/974cac76ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Details are of course in the listing, but a few more interesting details for those just viewing here: -He’s categorized as figurine for my purposes, but this cast is one of the largest I’ve done. This particular one measured about 9.5 in long, by 9.5 in tall, with around a 17 in wingspan - so big dragon. If you’ve collected my previous sculptures he’s gonna dwarf them! -He’s also limited edition, 10 casts total made, only 9 will be released. This offer is for cast #3. -With casts #2-3, inspired by the people who modify resin horses, I wanted to see how far I could push modifying the base sculpture. Not just different horns, but reposing the legs & head. This one focuses on re-posing the back legs to be “earthier” or “bullish”, more of a strong stance. So these are not only limited edition, but they really are OOAK and unique, even between the same base model. -Since I have a feeling someone is going to ask, this one can NOT be modified at the sculpture level anymore. I do eventually plan on releasing one geared more towards matching specific characters, or building your own dragon. These are labor intensive to put together, (the paint job alone on the first cast was 40+ hours, whew!), so I have to take finishing these off in smaller chunks, that level of custom is going to be further out. If you spread the word about this one, and if this one is successful, I may be more motivated to release another one sooner! If anyone is interested, I’ll be looking forward to finishing this dragon creation with you!

After a busy day, the sale has officially switched into the yearly Season of Gratitude sale! Long time folks are probably familiar. It’s both a thank you to the supporters of the art, and a way to feature gift ideas for your loved ones. A lot of the usual art pieces are being featured this year (prints, tarot, pendants, etc.). But this year I have a couple of new ideas that I’ve implemented for the event! First, my Patreon has some deals going on right now. if you’ve been wanting to learn about the creation of the art, but don’t want to do a monthly subscription on Patreon, the “Behind the Creation” packages are all on sale right now! Check them out in the Patreon shop: https://www.patreon.com/wintersoul/shop The second new idea has just been released. If you have an amazing color idea for a dragon, and have always wanted to see it in 3D, this one is for you. For the first time, a limited edition "Dragon Saga" cast is being offered over on Ko-fi in the commissions section: https://ko-fi.com/c/974cac76ca I'll post more on the dragon later tonight, he deserves his own post! Of course, for those of you who are just looking to do some holiday shopping, you might just hop straight over to the shop and look for the “Season of Gratitude” banners to save: https://wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.com If you're on this site, you probably already know, but shopping with small artists such as myself for the holiday gives back to the community in a big way. Not only do you get to impress your loved ones with truly unique gifts, but you're helping creatives to thrive and bring beauty into the world, something that just doesn't happen at the big corporate level. Thank you for all your support! <3

Although I've been quiet here, it's been a busy year for art, finishing up multiple major projects, and participating in an art show. I'm very happy to release this one, a long awaited commission for Rath’Tolar! This is by far the largest and most complex sculpture I have cast, with its wingspan at 17 inches wide. Of course, this one is already on its way to his forever home, but it won't be the last you see of this mold. The Dragon Saga mold will be very limited edition, only 10 casts total (including this one & the cast I hold back for history's sake). In the future, some will be special painted with the dragon ideas I had while creating this, and possibly a few will be reserved as a custom for people's beautiful dragon characters. I've been working on modifying each cast to be unique and one of a kind - you'll see what I mean with this next one. You can view all photos, and read about the full epic saga on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/131412662 In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for some of the special paints becoming available in the future!
