Ditto..but I don't think I 'un-winced' once I saw it. Eh, something about the face just bothers me. I really don't like Tuskaninnies. I wish they could just make them more like a seal instead of some freakish human-faced....thing.gidget wrote:I have to admit that I winced when I saw the phrase "Faerie Tuskaninny." But it works much, much better than I expected.
Yellow is quite easily my least favourite colour. So that's a shame. Still, lovely pet.
Apparently I'm in the minority, but I adore the hair. I think it's my favourite aspect of this pet. It's really... flippy. Cute.
The head seems sort of awkward in a lot of poses, especially angry, but I think that's mostly because the pose itself is awkward. Don't get me wrong, I like the pose, I hate when faerie pets look like they can't actually fly, it's just sort of strange overall. I really like how the tail bends in the circle pose.
I sort of want one, but not enough to pay for one. I'd gladly keep one from the lab, but there are a couple things that bug me a little too much to actually paint one by hand.
I can't wait to see some fanart, they look really fun to draw. Maybe I'll go do that now.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
That was my reaction, too; but this is surprisingly well done. After staring at it for ages I still can't quite warm to it, though - I think that's because however nicely it might be drawn, a winged walrus is something that's just never going to appeal to me. I might have liked it a bit better in the more usual pastel faerie colours, but probably not; and it is nice to have something different (although it does remind me of the Faerie Pteri. A walrus that's trying to be a phoenix!).gidget wrote:I have to admit that I winced when I saw the phrase "Faerie Tuskaninny."
The orange markings around the eyes strike me as odd; rather like a mask. Combine that with the bright colours and the ability to fly, and this makes me think Superhero Tuskaninny rather than Faerie Tuskaninny.
Overall though, a nice addition to Tuskas a species I'm somewhat partial to, so I'm glad to see them getting some (more) good redraws (I've always loved Robot and Tyrannian, and own both).

Hmm, I like it. The colours are gorgeously warm, and I have no problem with the hair, either. I'm less keen on the treatment of the flippers - very flipperlike in the happy pose, very much like arms in the angry pose. But it's a small quibble.
If Tuskaninnies didn't have such a "punch me" expression on their faces, I'd consider getting one of these.

First reaction? I hate it.
Second reaction? I love the sad pose. I like the ranged pose. I like the colours.
This makes me hate it all the more as I can't stand pets with circle/happy poses I hate. The head looks disconnected which makes the whole pose look awkward. Also it looks somewhat like a shopkeeper. The colour scheme and sad pose are lovely but the happy and circle poses seriously bother me :/

I'm very much mixed on this one. I do like the colours, which is odd, because usually I don't like yellow and orange (and to me, the yellow colour of the body is very different from the default yellow tuskie, it's much brighter and more golden). I don't like the poses it's in for happy and circle, among others- as Trick said, the head is somehow a bit off, plus it's awkward the way the wings and flippers are so close to each other. And I don't like the anthropomorphism of the flippers into arms and fists much, either, though plenty of other tuskaninnies are drawn like this. Maybe it's the elbows. I don't like the hair, to me it looks like it's swum through some red seaweed and got it stuck on its head.
I like the smoothness and shinyness of the body and wings, except where the mouth and eyes are unusually angular for a tuskie. I like the way it's not trying to sit or stand, but is floating/flying (I would rather it was floating, but either way works). I really like the flippers in the sad pose, which overall is my favourite pose.
I do think the wings have been done well, compared to the faerie koi and flotsam this is really good but it's just not for me, I guess.

I don't want to lie and say I LOVE IT and be the odd man out, eheh. What I do love are the angry and sad poses. Oh, and the colors - I happen to LOVE yellow, orange and red together, so I'm pleased. And the pattern on the face is both pretty and non-distracting.
I hate the happy/circle pose though, and the hair... wtf is up with the hair?
edit - okay, I'm a douchebag, they always have hair, I just suck at 7 AM ;_;; bahhhh.
