Cheerful

Yes, not kidding around, you are actually seeing a traditional sculpture by Candace Bell O.o. Yes folks, I took a commission about a month ago and completed this gryphon sculpture which I called Phoenix, for lack of a better name. Its approx 6x6 inches in size. The customer wanted the bird half like a phoenix and the back half like a panther. I'm quite pleased with how it came out. However I wont be taking any more commissions because its a drain on my muse. I make more money long term from each Second Life project (yes I now make digital content in the virtual world Second Life) then I do from a commission where I'm paid just once. I mainly took this last commission because i like the idea of it, and I wanted something new to update my website with. But now I know its probably best just to create something for my own, avoiding any feeling of pressure to get a project complete, or that feeling of obligation. Anyway, here it is!
