Description This is Kilimanjaro, one of my artist's resins. I believe he's a limited edition of 75. I'm trying to decide what color he wants to be painted.

Suggestions welcome!

did you sculpt that yourself or did you buy it like that?
if you did it yourself do you do commissions?

Hahaha, that little guy witht he fork is one of my favorites!!!

I actually bought him waaaay back in September. I was having a little temper tantrum because I didn't get the first of the two Katnips that was up, and I had managed to push enough money around so that horse was in my grasp. So, like any good person throwing a temper tantrum, I grabbed up some other things I wanted. And of course, the second of the two Katnips showed up AFTER I had blown all my money...

I'm really not sure what color, but I think brindle stripes would be very nice...

I may be weird, but I see him as more of a Buckshin, with shiny jet-blach mane and tail! I've always been partial to buckskin whatever!

I am such a sucker for primitive colored horses! Especially if there's just the tiniest pinto "chrome" thrown in!!!

Hehe, did you ever read the book, "Buck, Wild!"?

I love buckskins and Grillos! I think they are so awesome!
No, is it any good?

It's a pre-teen book and it's about the life of a young buckskin mustang. I loved it! I would check it out of my middle-school library at least once a month.

Hmmm, I may have to check my library and see if they have it. Thanks!

Hmmm.... I normally hate dapples, you know that, but I kinda like xCharlax's idea of faint gold dapples. Although I also think he would look stunning in darker colors because of his presence.

I had never seen a Traditional sized unicorn resin, so I had to have him! Plus, I figured that this might be the only one of the run that I could get without spending something like $40 on shipping. Unfortunately for me, the run was released only in Europe, so he's a fresh face here in the states.

Heheheh...dapple dapple dapple...

Yeah, I don't think I've seen one either. He looks gorgeous. There's a lot of charisma there.

I've seen one or two Stablemate sized ones, but never a really nice Trad.

Yeah, I haven't either, not that I look nearly as much as you do.

Well, I always keep an eye out for nice looking unicorns.

He looks so wise! Hmn, I think Ursina up there is right about the coloring. I think he would look good with white and silver too. It has the traditional white with a touch of originality with the silver!

GoldenGryffen In reply to xCharlax [2008-01-10 02:12:45 +0000 UTC]

You know, I was thinking white with faint metallic golden dapples, but silver would set him off nicely, too!

xCharlax In reply to GoldenGryffen [2008-01-10 02:55:14 +0000 UTC]

ooh I never thought of dapples! Maybe you could do silver dapples instead (if you choose to do the mane/tail/hooves/horn silver)?? I love dapples!!

GoldenGryffen In reply to xCharlax [2008-01-10 22:38:43 +0000 UTC]

Or, just to be really wild, maybe a thin copper wash dappled finish? Or heck, I might do him in sea colors.

ooh sea colors!! that sounds so pretty!! I can't wait to see what he ends up looking like colored!!

I think he would look good with any color. My wife is a little more helpful. She says white with a bright metallic silver for mane, tail, chin hair, hooves, horn and eyes.

Ooooh... That would be neat. I couldn't resist the resin unicorn. You so rarely see a piece like him for sale.

I wouldn't be able to resist him either. It's hard for me to pass up a pink unicorn balloon at the fair sometimes. :grin:

I can't pass up those cheap hard rubber unicorns with the blue, purple or pink manes and tails!
