Auction has ended, congrats to Arazia, who is the lucky new owner of Somnus!

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:
Somnus is primarily a spirit based Shisa, although in the distant past he had lived in a thriving kingdom. He struggles with the desire to go back to the past, but even his powers over time and illusions cannot recreate what once was. He uses his powers to manipulate the tribes and people of the desert, bending their desires to match with his own, thus convincing physical people to rebuild his beautiful home. Despite his darker nature, he has a spry and charming personality around adults. Children on the other hand pick up on his darker intentions, and often call him out. Somnus is not too fond of beings which break his illusions, so it would be ill advised to leave your children with this Shisa.
