Wow! I didn’t know the Old Warriors were done in that color. I want one of those! Is that something like the Black Violet Old Warriors where they are only sold on Ebay?
Yes, these were a batch of two, and there are two more with blue eyes. There is also a one of a kind one that looks kinda similar, but with more of a bronzey color. 🙂
That looks like a good group Ski, congrats! I didn’t realize that the fledge had purple/blue antique.
Most of the VF fledges I’ve seen have excessive blue antiquing. It’s discussed in a couple other threads.
Congrats, Ski. But whoa, that’s a LOT of that blue. I’m glad mine just has a couple little spots & none around the eyes (it looks like a bruise!).
I like one of the members comment about it. If you have a lot of blue it looks like it is going to charge up. 😀 I thought it was a good explination (sp?).

Your welcome!!! He is really cute!!! I like his blue!! 😀
It’s not actually antiquing per se; It’s actually a pearlized powder Melody rubbed on! 🙂

My art: featherdust.comI just looked my VF fledgling (from the first batch) over and I got one that doesn’t have a lot of antiquing/peralized powder. In fact I think my VF1 curl has more.
OMG! Wow Ski! I love the ow! Is his purple more intense like he looks in the pics? 😀 Gorgeous…drooooool….If I ever visit you I shall have big pockets! 😈
My mixed griffin family is finally complete. ;_; Thank you emerald!
It only makes sense that someone who comes from a family as mixed as mine as a mixed griffin family like this.
L-R: Skan, Tabitha (Tabby), Keenath, and Zhaneel. Of course the parents have to be Skan and Zhaneel. But the wolf colouration matches the general colours Zhaneel is described as, anyway. 😛Tabitha got her father’s recessive lutino gene. 😛

Mine looks a lot like yours. 😉

Thanks for the info, Nam. But it’s still pretty stark. 😕
Hooray! He arrived safely. (Big sigh of relief there–I was really worried about Murphy’s Law.) He looks wonderful: I hadn’t seen one in person and so had no idea just how much blue and violet interference there was. My photography skills leave something to be desired 😕 but here are the picture links.

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/Barrdwing/OGEmperor%20and%20Muse1/OGEmpback.jpgThe two chips mentioned in the auction are definitely going to need a little work. There are a couple more very small chips, and some places where the paint got rubbed. But I think I can fix them . . . once I get some practice in. 😉 Here are the photos of the two bigger chips.

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/Barrdwing/OGEmperor%20and%20Muse1/OGEmptailchip.jpgThe seller was great and I’m not cross with her about the minor chips and rubs: there was bound to be something of that sort, and I’m sure she didn’t see them. A very nice person–I would think that anyone here who also bought from her should have a positive experience as well.
Now to find that thread on matching the Emperor horn color . . . .
