Auction ends Thursday, June 25th at 2 pm MDT.
Auction has ended, congrats to Korat, who is the lucky new owner of Ace!

Just for a bit of background on these special auctions, as I make my pendants and figurines, to me these are more than just casts. Being hand painted, every design is a unique piece of art, and has felt like the pendant is imbued with a bit of the essence of that individual character. As I create these characters, and as I paint the ornament, the story of the character is just as important as the colors and markings, and is consciously kept in mind throughout the painting process. To push the idea further, I've decided to introduce these limited character auctions. On top of the Shisa already being limited edition, these particular paint jobs will never show up again on another Shisa ornament. You'll not only be adopting your very own mini guardian lion-dog, but you'll be able to physically hold your new character! These will be a rare treat, only once every one or two months. It is my hope that these rare beasts give people a tangible way to explore personalities and adventures, which they can share with others in the form of ornaments, stories, and art!

Character Background:
Ace, as his name suggests, has a dominant personality which won him a high rank in the royal guard. His thirst for strategy and challenge drive all his actions, helping him to turn the tide in the hardest of battles. Not every battle can be won, however, so when Ace comes across his match, his world is turned upside down. He makes one mistake in battle, causing him physical injury and possibly costing him his rank. Physical injuries will heal, but Ace must come to terms with the idea that he may not always be in power. This near fatal failure is his greatest challenge yet, and in admitting defeat his own shadows prove to be his greatest opponents.
