9/7/22 for Royal Tytogriff
“Calyn’s creation is one of the most high quality art dolls I’ve ever seen/owned. The furs are so incredibly soft
and the creature is simply astonishing. Not to mention that the artist is also incredibly understanding and kind
during the entire process until the package is delivered safely. If you’re considering buying from or
commissioning Calyn, please go ahead. You won’t be disappointed.”-Jin
8/19/22 for Akuma the Lava Kitsune (link to pictures coming soon)
“Akuma is my third commission, and the collaboration with Calyn was wonderful again! The black lava chunks on
his body look very realistic and the little black spikes in his fur give him a bold aura. He is simply
beautiful. It's the little details that I love so much. For example, the claws have a color gradient from
red to orange to yellow. Also at the eyes you can see how fine the detail is. The shipping was also fast
and without problem! I look forward to working with Calyn on more projects in the future.” - M.Mensen
5/27/22 for Lavender Kitsune
“She is absolutely gorgeous! Well worth the wait. Your work is exquisite! Thank you :)” - 2q2kare
5/11/22 for Nala the Nekomata
"She looks amazing. Thank you so much I love her. I'll definitely be back to order more creatures next year if you're open.
She's getting along great with her two older siblings Kohaku
and Chrome.” - Bri
9/29/21 for a PYO Ornate Fantasy Bird Skull
"E. loves her birthday present and the card made it extra special. Thank you so much for
putting together such a great package for her to open. It was absolutely the highlight of
her day." - K.B.B.
5/19/21 for Sulfur Mmpoff & Sunflower Mmpoff
"I've been buying from Fruit-Bat-Phoneix for awhile now, I bought my first art doll from her.
All of her work is beautiful, well made, and has such personality. And, while I love all of
the pieces I've purchased from her, the Mmpoffs are my favorite characters, I haven't been able
to resist a single color variation and get a great deal of joy in seeing them all together." - KD
1/6/21 for Tsuki the Midnight Kitsune
“The collaboration with Calyn has been really fun, she has responded to my wishes and combined her
ideas with the ones I had. As a result, the fox became even more beautiful than I had imagined.
The purple and black swirls on his body as well as the color gradients from light blue to cobalt,
admiral, and navy blue, to deep black, give the Midnight Fox a truly mystical look. The moon on the
forehead is a special highlight. It was made of clay and underlines the mystical power of the Midnight
Fox. He is simply beautiful. Pictures can't do him justice, they can't reproduce the colors as they are.
The fox was shipped the same day after payment was received. It can not be faster! I look forward to
working with Calyn again in the future.” - M.Mensen
10/16/2020 for Lapis Lazuli, the Rain Kitsune
“It’s heart-stopping beauty! Thank you very much.” - Airi
3/5/2020 for Chlorophyll Fox
“A wonderful job. I already own several of these posable creatures and each one is
built and painted with a lot of love. The communication with the artist works very well,
and the shipping is fast enough (considering the long distance to Germany).” - M. Mensen
7/24/19 for Golden Eagle Wyrm
“He is incredibly perfect. Better in person than in pictures. Plus, he looks great
standing guard while I'm playing World of Warcraft.” - Anna J.
2/19/19 for Blue & Brown Eagle Wyrm
“Beautiful workmanship. I love this little guy! He's guarding my rooms perfectly!
It arrived very timely. One day he'll have a sibling !” - Renee
3/1/18 for Zenko the Tiny Fox
“My zenko is wonderful! He looks adorable with the little displays I have for him
(big thanks to JMakesMinis for the custom display bases). It did take some time for
him to arrive, but he arrived and is now curled up in my room. Calyn was very kind to
me and worked with me to accommodate my requests. The zenko turned out even better
than I had expected. I look forward to seeing what else she creates in the future.
Here are some images of my zenko with his displays for everyone to enjoy:

2/4/18 for Teal Specklewing Eagle Wyrm
“Tealanth arrived Friday, and he's been wandering around getting to know his new home
and finding his favorite perches. He was amused when I told him that my hubby sometimes
takes days to see anything new in the house, so he has been very still whenever Bill's in
the room. Right now he seems to like clinging to the rigging of my grandfather's Bluenose
model on the living room mantle. He even let me take a picture of him there. I'm delighted.
He's beautiful and beautifully made. I hope to get him some company in the future.” - S.E.D.
1/7/18 for Clouded Leopard Dragons
“Gorgeous leopard-dragon mom and baby. We love them!” - Leslie
