6/14/2009 - After a session of painting here is the final result. Mandi with the turnaround model sheet in the background. The model sheet was used in the painting process and is roughly the same size as the finished figure.

Thank you so much for your interest. And sorry for the delay in responding to you and everyone else that is interested. As much as I'd like to sell this particular figure, I need to work out some sort of character licensing agreement with http://www.furaffinity.net/user/drakefenwick/ . For the most part this figure is a prototype that we were experimenting with. There may or may not be future collaborative projects. Still hammering that one out.
I love Drake's illustration style, and the fact that you brought it into the third dimension easily earns my respect. Great work!
There's a lot of potential for this sort of thing as a business, too- enough to make me consider modeling more characters in 3D and investing in a scanner-mill in the near future. I feel inspired!
This sort of attention to detail and production quality is seldom seen in the common, mass-produced batches of toys and figurines; this piece, in its final form, is definitely a labor of love and a work of art in its own right.
Good luck in your future endeavors, be they commercial or creative.
Additionally, browsing back a bit I noticed your Rabbid legal counsel. I can totally understand being worried about attribution, copyright and intellectual property on this sort of thing. It's definitely one of the more intimidating issues that artists face- I'm still wary of posting most of my work in a public forum without slapping copyrights and watermarks on it, for the most part. But I'm rambling on now- keep up the good work. :3
