First Cast! Songbird Gryphon Face

So I was finally able to test out our first mold last night, and here is how it went, that is after I painted it! I was so excited to try it out that I forgot to take before and after pictures!

He will have a dark blue mane black body, and blue and black wings and ears. Haven't decided on wire armature or floppy body, but im leaning on floppy. Can you tell that my favorite color is blue?
