I did a test paint on this new dragon, buy hand painting with brushes. I never hand paint if I can avoid it , but I tried it with  this dragon to see what details take paint well and what needs re-carving.  Wow, does he need lots of things recarved! He is a casting of an original sculpture.

*___________* I remember seeing your exquisite sculptures in gift shops when I was a kid! I adore your style! You have such a grasp of animal anatomy, style, detail, and appeal! Your unicorns are my favorite <3!! Now that I’ve got the money, I think I’m finally going to purchase some of your beautiful work!!

:-) Melody Pena replies: " Oh wow, now THAT is a nice comment! Thank you so much!"

Do you mass produce these?
Because I am 100% sure that these are part of the "My Pena" collection created at least 8 years ago that were being sold at Abbington’s Animals and can now be bought at any statue collector’s store 2

:-) Melody Pena replies: "You have a good memory!
This is indeed an M. Pena dragon, though we haven’t sold this particular dragon in stores. He is part of a line of "Paint your own" creatures that you can customize yourself. If you’d like to see more of them, here is the gallery of fabulous, gorgeous, incredible PYO’s painted by Windstone forum members: http://www.windstoneeditions.com/galleries/index.php?cat=1. and the unpainted ones,

Awesome! Thanks.
These are clearly the most beautiful dragons I have ever seen!
Question: Would a tattoo of one of the statues be considered copyright infringement, even if I owned one?


:-) Melody Pena replies: " I’m sorry, I didn’t see your question until now!
I give people permission to use my dragons as tattoos!You can Email me reptangle( at) gmail(dot) com"

I adore the iridescence, the scales are INCREDIBLE, absolutely... stunning. Such a cute expression as well, he looks... slightly hyper

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Hes a little hyper, like a small dog. He looks like he wants to punch someone.
Thank you for visiting!"

That is a amazing paint job, and I’m sure that you’ll be able to fix any problems (which all seem to be facing away from the camera)

:-) Melody Pena replies: "thank you! Yes, they are facing away from the camera, there was still alot to fix!"
