Adoptable character auction - Open!

*Bidding takes place on Furaffinity only, check it out here ------> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17577234/

Auction ends Saturday, September 12th at 2 pm MDT.

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:
Many generations of bulky, powerful Shisa have led to Vex's family lines, all of whom have been assigned to the brutal conditions of ancient Rome's mines and quarries. Vex's job is not to be the "beast of burden". Instead he's tasked with keeping the unfortunate slave workers in line. His outer and inner personality struggle for dominance. On the one hand, naturally he is a thoughtful beast, yet his circumstances have molded him into a brute. It is far better to keep the dominant "prison guard" front up than it is to fall in line with the rest of the workers. However, Vex shares one important thing in common with the condemned souls, they all long for the freedom of an open sky. If only he could gaze up at the stars one more time...
