( His name is Mr. Stark )
So... explanation? I've been meaning to buy an action figure of some sort to practice drawing different poses. Why an action figure and not one of those wooden dolls that are made for the purpose? 1) He was cheaper, and 2) Omg he's so much more fun. ;) Plus, he has a gun, which is fantastic for shooting my brother. In the dark. BECAUSE IT GLOWS. Oh yes. <3
In other news, I'm thinking about selling some of my stuff on ebay. I have a rather small collection of Breyers that I'd like to make even smaller, if it means I can trade some of the horses for cash money. Some I'm kinda attached to, but others not so much. :) We used to go to Breyerfest because it was just down the road, and we'd show them, and prance around, and have awesome times. <3
I've been looking on ebay all night trying to figure out which ones I have that are even worth any money, and it turns out the one I kept in the box? Worth $40. GO ME. *takes a bow* I wish I had the guts to sell my porcelain one, but... I love him too much/shipping would be ridiculous. Heh. O.o;
Anyways, I have a huuuuge collection of the smallest sized ones, because I used to paint them on occasion. With chalk pastels. It was intense. So, it turns out the smallest sized ones are worth maybe $3 a piece, and so I'm wondering if I shouldn't paint them all to sell. Of course, I'm rather amateurish at painting them, so I thought I might offer to do what I did for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
randomfangirl29, and paint them to look like an actual horse. I may have to take pictures of the one I did for her, because he was adorable, and also a paint, so... he was a little more complicated than the one I did of Cigar. But the one I did of Cigar actually placed in a show, so... that was pretty awesome (I asked the judge what to do to make him better, and she told me to drill out his ears. Yeah. Not happening. O.o;)
( So y'all can see what I'm talking about )
I guess what I'm asking is, what do y'all think I should charge if I do custom ones for people of their horses? And where should I advertise? I haven't got a clue. Though I was thinking something around $20 + shipping for the custom horses. Maybe $17? I dunno... They're a lot of work, but my craftsmanship isn't the greatest. I really need to find a way to upload a better picture... heh. ^_^;;
