They're multiplying

I'm so happy that so many people liked my last seal wip picture! So I just HAD to make more and share for you guys! I also wanted to say that the reason why I started this is because.. Well I guess I need to go back to the polymer clay dragons and why I stopped making them. The dragons took a long time for me to make and I honestly found them annoying to make. So I started making them out of colored clay which made it go a lot faster... However it got rid of the one and only thing I liked about the dragons and that was painting. I also hated that I had to spend so much time making something that was, lets be honest here, tiny and useless. Anyway, has some of you may know, I've been jumping around with different projects trying to find something that I liked to make, that you guys like, and what doesn't waste my time to make. Don't get me wrong, I love working with clay but I honestly don't have the space for a bunch of figures laying around, plus I don't have enough money for clay. The money I get from Gold Heart Crafts goes back into my business and supply. Anyway, I got a little sidetracked, I've been thinking about what to do next... So here's my thoughts 'What is something that I could make that doesn't take days or weeks to make, that's not a tiny figurine, and that I could just get into the zone and just paint?' Well... I think I found it with these guys. I want to make crafts into something that I could live off of. And the only thing I've ever made that's worth it, is the faux stone pendents, but they're not enough to make it a living. But I'm wondering if I could with these guys...

So I have questions for you, for everyone, would you consider buying one when they're done? Do you think they're worth it? And if so, what would you pay?
They're my biggest polymer clay things I've ever made, they're roughly 5 1/2 inches long. They take 5 to 6 hours of hours of non stop work, this doesn't include baking time. They're completely hand painted and will be glazed with a glossy finish. Right now, I'm just painting mindlessly and I'm testing out what's the best method, but I can paint more realistic designs, like a leopard seal. I never measure anything or use molds so there will never been two alike so they're truly are one of a kind! Also any advice anyone could give, that would be amazing!

Fun Fact... About the 2 unpainted ones, the one in the back is a jumbo. I know it doesn't look like it because of the perspective, but he is huge! In fact... I baked the first two together in my normal glass container. It was pretty tight but it was fine. I did the next 2.. the unpainted ones... I just barely got them in there because of that big guy! So after they baked, I weighed them... The one all the way on the right is 4.3 ounces and he's about the same size as the other two, maybe a little smaller... I weighed the big guy... 5.8 ounces!! He's so heavy! I love it on out different they all are! '

Anyway, thanks for any advice y'all can give me! Have a wonderful morning/day/night!
