Fairyland Fantasy Art Line (Part 1)

Hi guys, it's me again My Haru arrived today, so there's a fusion photo:

(behind of them you can see the art of the chaos, yeah x'D)

 

The blushing looks really good so far. I ordered a pink Rus too but haven't decided on colours to go with yet - maybe pink going to purple. Really looking forward to see the finished work if post a pic when you're done

I picked up my HippoGriff this afternoon! OMG HUGE! I knew...I had looked up the size and I had tried to anticipate just how much heft....drawn a sketch of the proportions to hold up to my other dolls...you know..the usual dolly waiting things...but nothing prepared me for the actual LARGENESS of him! *starry eyed* he's SO.BIG.

and I really need him to be able to look down.....can they look down somehow and I'm not figuring it out? or are their necks not very poseable? anyone? anyone? Bueller?

I'm thinking greys and rose golds for colors....if I'm honest, I really want to paint him like an 80's my little pony twinkle eye...but I must resist....he has a serious role in a serious storyline and he cannot have pretty MLP markings! even if he really wants to be a pretty pony....like Galaxy...or Locket!

 

I can't get mine to look down, either. Which kind of sucks. I'm guessing because part of the neck unattaches for the hybrid with a realfee? But it's kind of a design flaw, IMO. I mean, the rest of him is so poseable! Kind of sucks that he can barely tilt his head, especially since I don't want to hybrid him.

 

@DaisyDayes I was pleasantly shocked by the size too.

Yeah, Rus does have pretty limited up/down neck movement. However it is possible to make it look like your Rus is looking down with the bucking pose or by arching the back and lifting the back legs a bit (partial buck/ landing pose?).

 

still bummed about the limited neck posing, but I'm not keen on modding this beast! (although it was a thought that reeeeeaaaaally wanted to be thought upon)


pretty dramatic...for someone named PonyFeathers by daisydayes, on Flickr

it also took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the long-tail/short-tail thing!
"Oh, it twists! Oh it comes off! OMG IT'S THE SHORT TAIL OPTION!"

 

My June and Rus arrived. I currently have my Rus in front of me and I cannot figure out how the wings go on. I did not get any assembly instructions for him.

 

@LuckyXIII - Tilt his head forward slightly, at the base of his neck there's a little piece that comes out, revealing the slot for the wings to go into.

 

I think this is the Fairyland video that shows you how to attach the wings! around the 35second mark

 

Thanks! I actually watched that but must have skipped over that part.

 

Here is a picture of Lazerus (MNF Karsh in tan) with Rus in arga to show the slight difference between the two. Lazerus is not amused, but he is getting the Rus wings so I guess he's a little happy. >.>

@LuckyXIII thanks for the comparison shot of the two tans. Also, sorry to hear that FL didn't send a pamphlet with your Rus. Will you ask them to send you one (or maybe they can give you an option to download a digital copy)?

@Xanadu Dolls congratulations on your new arrivals. I look forward to seeing your photos!

 

I did not try to do extensive blushing to my hippogriff but I painted the beak, the talons and the hooves so that he would not look completely blank. His name is Thule and he is a hippogriff from the ultimate North.

Here's a close-up of Thule to show better how the beak is painted:

(I'm not sure if he eats carrots...)

 

No, I used enamel paints intended for painting small plastic models. It's durable and does not need to be sealed.
