Finally, custom paints for the new figurines are open! It’s been a lot of work casting and preparing these guys, I’m so excited to finally share these limited edition figurines with all of you. Casts 1 & 2 already have paint plans! The first were preorders, and the second will be “artist’s choice” paints, which will be available down the road. I have so many color ideas for these, but I promise to let all of you have a chance at your favorite marbles before I steal all of them away for paint ideas. :D Order a custom paint here: Majesty the Cat: https://wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.com/product/majesty-figurine Loyalty the GSD: https://wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.com/product/loyalty-figurine Jester the Rabbit: https://wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.com/product/jester-figurine Keep your eyes peeled! In the background, casting season is still underway. I have extra material that MUST be used up by the end of the season, so you’ll be seeing the smaller sculpts that I’ve been teasing, plus some never before seen sculpts in the future. I’m planning on a different release setup for those ones, so it’s something to look forward to!

Preorders for the new larger figurines are now open to the public! Each of the three larger ones have a listing in the online shop with more details, but here’s the overview: *These are limited edition, hand painted figurines. Every step of creating these are my own hard work, from sculpting, to casting, to the final touches of paint - this is a unique art collectible that you won’t find mass produced. *Preordering will allow for you to choose your favorite color of marble. Preorders will also get the first casts, (ie - cast #1 will be the first order, etc.). After preorders close, the setup will be similar to how the Whisps and Altar Cats were, where I have a chart of colors/numbers, and you select the cast that you want. If you prefer more control of what color marble you get plus a lower edition number, preordering is the way to go! *Each preorder will come with a bonus tiny companion - either “pebble bunny” or “pebble cat”. These are sculpted by myself and hand painted as well. Colors will be random. *The current preorder prices are my lowball estimate of what the final price will be. Prices MIGHT go up in the future, so if you want all the bonus goodies plus the lowest price for a custom piece of art, preordering is a great opportunity. This is the first time I’ve opened up for preorders. I wanted to try it as a way of saying thank you to early supporters of this project, and as a way to give those early supporters a little more customization options. I can’t wait to start painting! While preorders are open, I’ll be working on mold making and casting. On June 5th, I will be closing preorders to focus on bringing these sculptures to life. These offers end on June 5th, so don’t miss out!

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!
