+tsunrisebey Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I've been a little quiet on the design front this year, just had lots of changes going on (positive) so my time has been very limited. However, if you've been following along on Facebook, you already know what I've been up to design wise I'd like to introduce you to "Native Pegasus". I've wanted to do a Pegasus for quite some time but was never inspired to put something to paper until a couple months ago. I drew this fella over the course of 2 days. First it was going to be the full Pegasus and then I changed my mind and went for the shoulder and above view so I could really work on the wings. I changed a few things here and there and this is the final design come to life in a coin As always, the artwork is all hand-drawn, I don't aim to aspire to perfect lines and symmetry as my designs tend to be more true to Mother Nature and her imperfections (the perfection is the imperfection) so I like to keep "honest" if you will but that's just me. Obviously there is some major Native American influence on a mythological creature going on here. As usual, colors and design were done with special meaning. That's not something that I normally share with everyone as I like it to mean what you want and need it to mean. The names themselves are a major insight into how I perceived each version up to this point. The back side was purely done in fun and I just wanted to play a little bit. I'm rambling, so in other words... I really hope you like this design, it's very special to me. I'll have 1 version to debut at Geocoinfest and when I come home, I'll open it up to reservations if the design seems to be popular to people, that way no one has to duke it out on the store. I'll post here, on Facebook, Twitter, Blog when I open this up for reservations, right now just sharing Thanks, tsun Edited July 29, 2010 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Beautiful work, Steph! I'd like to say that I'll be at GCF but even as close as it is, since some of my circumstances have changed since May, I cannot commit to the trip. I'll watch for the after GCF reservations and keep my fingers crossed that I can figure out how to go. CF30 Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 An unannounced sale of 2 versions along with some dragonflies and Neptunes went up for sale. These were versions headed to GCF. There are limits, 1 each of the dragonflies, 2 of Neptunes, and I think it's unlimited for Pegasus. I'll have a small amount with me for traders at the events. Twitter and FB was notified just a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment

+River Cacher Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I missed the sale since i was out shopping with the kids for some new school pants since the weather went from 100 degrees to the 60's and most of there new school clothes are shorts dresses and capris. I got the email but my new phone was not all the way set up to deal with everything so i decided to stick with the shopping for the girls. Congrats to the ones that made it in time. I am looking to trade if anyone has extra. Quote Link to comment
