Description
At long last I present to you, in her full and completed form....~byzy !More colors and details than I think that I have ever crammed into a single piece, but it all seemed to have worked out and come together in the end! I actually don't think that I even forgot anything this time...though I may be mistaken.
In progress photos can be seen here:

Oh, wow, it looks like you sure put a lot into painting it! The finished product looks wonderful! :3 I love that laying down pose, too.

Thank you very much!
Yes, painting did take a looooong while! Soo many colors to deal with, plus allowing for things to dry out decently was a worthwhile pain in the neck.

*Goggles* The incredible detail on this is mindblowing. How long does it take to do a sculpture like that? Thanks for the links for your in progress too, it's about time I learned how you build your masterpieces ^_^

Hehe, thank you!
This one took a very very long time. If I amassed all of the hours together, it was at least 5 days straight. Well worth the effort, though.

This looks great! You did the pose very well, and with such a complicated character it'd have been easy to gloss over things... but you didn't. Yay for dedication! ^..^

Thank you! I never like to gloss over things. Even if I can't portray them as well as I like, I feel like if I skim through that I am cheating.

Holy techinicolor, Batman! Between the color and texture, I can't imagine how long this must have taken o.o

Longer than anything I've made before. Probably about 6-7 days in total hours.

Hehe, well, I'm not taking commissions right now, though I'm sure you probably could afford it. This one cost $13 plus shipping, for instance.

That response had me in stitches, especially when you admitted to Caps Lock abuse! 
Try not to abuse your keyboard too badly, hehe!

That's amazing! Excellent work on all the details. The paintjob is wonderful. The pose is just adorable. Great work.
I attempted a Byzy sculpture ages ago, but I broke it and never finished it, so opted for a headshot drawing instead.

Thank you very much! She is tough, and I know how frustrating it is when things break. I had that happen once before (the whole thing fell apart in the oven - complete loss), and trying to start over was tedious. But hey, we all pick up the pieces somehow! If I tried to draw her I'd erase a hole right through the paper!

Man, this is awesome! I love all the details, especially the painted colors....

Watching this come to life was wonderful - she has really turned out lovely. The markings look to be well worth the effort that went into them and I admire your committment in painting on textured surfaces (Just on that note I'll mention the fur texture is very nifty
I noticed that the colour on her wings is in sharp bands whereas I think it could be nicer if it were blended more together to make a smoother gradient. Though then again, I don't know the character or the wonderful tricky technicalities that come with painting these things so you may have been limited there.
The wings also look a little stiff and thick - though I'm not sure how to go about wings myself in sculpting so I won't be much of a use with suggestions! However, I did hear once that some use fine wire mesh or chicken wire to support the thin membrane of the wing.
(There's a tutorial on ConcepArt.org that has something similar to that. I would link to the specific post that I'm thinking of, but DA does annoying things with emoticons in hyperlinks. So here's the whole tutorial; [link] The whole thing is really interesting and informative though - I just read it for fun and inspiration.)
I really do love her pose and the little pawpads.

Thank you very much, and thanks for the link as well! I didn't read the whole thing, but so far I've found quite a few useful little tidbits! *stores in away for more reading*
Actually, the wing colors are supposed to be a gradient. However, I found that I stink at making smooth gradients.
The wing is thick for the sole purpose of support. Using wire mesh was suggested to me before, but I haven't yet been able to find any fine enough to work. The craft stores around here are severely lacking (even though we have tons of them). I never thought of using chicken wire, but I know I can get it and may try that. As it is, there is wire up the wing arm and out the leading wing finger - the rest is solid clay.
Thanks for the tips and comment, though! Every little bit helps!

Everything looks great, grooves in the sculpture, colors and all. A masterpiece all in its own right

Rainbows, stripes and spots! This is so visually appealing, I'm awed. And it's not just the pretty colors and patterns that make it so fun to study; there's all the curves and bends and textures too. I really like this, she looks so playful and friendly.

Thank you very much! Yes, she's a really big compilation of a whole lot of different things! Fortunately, I had really good references and periodic input and suggestions from =byzy , which made keeping it all together much easier.

What gorgeous colours, and such a creative pose!
May I ask for tips on the foil and wire? i haven't been able to find the proper kind of wire...
