that’s just a tundra fae veilspun
#a better veilspun in some ways#worse in others#i hate their giant anime eyes and excessively saccharinely cutesy chibi overall look#the best veilspun between these guys and actual veils would probably mostly these guys#but with the veil's head and genes#and probably less fur#not necissarily NO fur but the amount that's there feels a bit excessive and kind of bunches up the silhoette#in a way that reminds me uncomfortably of the sausage bodies of coatl#flight rising#they kind of look like someone put an anime chibi filter on faes#also don't like the fact that it's YET ANOTHER cutesy fuzzy breed that can't even really be called a dragon so much as an undefined chimera#i like that they finally have a breed with decently pronounced horns that don't look ugly and literally any decoration on the tail though#but it's still basically just 4 legs 2 wings+#one other thing i do like about them off the bat is that they're the firt breed i've seen in awhile that looks like.#an actual whole complete breed#like they look like all their parts are part of the same creature#rather than just being a loose handful of disparate gimmicks that were hastily attached to a tube shape#their parts look like they BELONG together and have a visibly coherent thematic throughline#like it looks like they had more of a coherent solid idea than just 'include these parts' this time#i think i slightly prefer some elements of the quieter less cartoony vibes of veilspun but not the part where veilspun feel very unfinished#and very anatomically disproportionate#these guys look a lot more physically solid and packed-together complete than a lot of recent designs do#despite my intense distaste for exaggerated cutesy cartoony fluffy things my initial reaction is less bleak than usual#mainly because of the afformentioned 'they look like they had an actual coherent idea for a whole creature this time' thing#i'll have to scry some and see if my initial impressions change a few weeks down the line#further opinions have yet to be formed concretely#those babies are ATROCIOUS though good god#i kind of feel like something partway between this and veils#is what we should have had *instead* of veils#like this but with the quieter more gloomy toned down vibes of veils and less disproportionate fur and veil snotus instead of the anime nubs
