Welcome to another limited edition adoptable ornament character auction!
Character Background:
Nusha had one job, to keep her head down and guard the inner walls of the palace. She had seen handfuls of other Shisa pass through these walls, captured from rival kingdoms, stolen from the wild, all to be sold off for a hefty price. The first rule was ignore the heartbreak from allowing one's own species to be treated poorly, and for years she obeyed that rule because she had one job to do.
Just a single prisoner, one voice, pulls her from her narrow focus. Maybe it's Mitra's otherworldly coat, or maybe Nusha is shocked by his peaceful presence amongst such a harsh environment. To her, he can only be seen as temptation. Like an ocean, Mitra's sway pulls her into an inner world which she had cut herself off from long ago. While Nusha struggles with her reality crumbling and with her powers of intellect being reborn through love, Mitra patiently waits as the trappings of her world bind him more tightly at every moment. When will she realize her true enemy is not her emotions? One can only hope it will not be too late to set her love free...

What you will receive:
•The character pictured above.
•A high-res, non-watermarked version of the reference sheet, along with a smaller internet version. Character sheet design will be similar to this layout: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16920084/
•The photo turn-around of the ornament for further reference.
•The actual Shisa ornament painted as this character.
•A physical copy of the reference sheet for you to take to conventions.
•A special offer of 10% off future commissions of this character.
Ladder Options:
$195 - Meeting this to add an expression/headshot drawing for each character which may be added to the reference sheets. Originals will be shipped along with the pendants.
$285 - Meet this and I will include a Full Body graphite drawing for each character which may be added to the reference sheet. (Drawing may show interaction or separate, your choice). Originals will be shipped along with the pendants.
$350 - Meet this and receive one of the original drawings used for these Adoptable Ornaments! Available is the male and female drawings - your choose which one you want to enjoy. There is only one of each of these original drawings offered through these auctions, so get 'em while you can!
Auto-buy: $415 - A big thank you for meeting this level, meet this and I will expand upon the action packed story! At this point, their story has been outlined for the purpose of design, but I'm sure others would love to see the inner development as much as I'd enjoy writing about it. This would be a "chapter" in their story, and helps to flesh out these two characters even further!

Also, some sort of credit or reference in the modified versions and artwork of this character would be greatly appreciated!

Adoptable Ornaments Background:
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 this 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 per month at most. 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!
Thank you to all who participate, good luck!
