Thanks again everyone!  I certainly appreciate the supportive compliments.

I just wanted to let those interested know that I've gone ahead and posted Scoria and my red/black/white dragon on eBay.  I need to let go and start on the next ones.

Sarahlacewing: My wife showed me pictures of those boy BB ponies, and i'd love to get my clay-covered hands on them for some more masculine customs.  I feel the need to represent my Y-chromosome-bearing brethren once in a while, and those would be perfect. 

Cookhuman: The "Out of the Ashes" custom is awesome!  That's exactly the kind of paint job I was going for on little Scoria.  And, it seems that you're a fellow STL-area native too -- it's a neat coincidence that two such similarly-themed customs reside only a stones-throw away from each other, given that this board has members spanning the globe.  Scoria will actually be for sale very soon; it and my unnamed red/black/white BB custom have already been photographed and written up for eBay auctions, and will be posted in the next few days.  I need to let them go to make room on my desk for more little BB customs to get made.

As for all the questions about commissions: I'm flattered that so many of you are that interested in my work, and I do accept commissions, but I've already got a few lined up that I need to finish so I'm trying not to take on too many orders at once.  However, these little BB customs have been a nice quick aside from my normal work, so if things go well for me financially over the next couple of weeks, and I don't have to go back to a regular desk job, I may decide to start taking on some BB commissions alongside my larger ones.
