As it stands right now, here鈥檚 my complete Watership Down plush collection! 鈾ワ笍 In the top photo is my complete set of Chad Valley plushes from the release of the 1978 film. If you think you鈥檝e seen that picture before, you probably have. I lifted it from my old account @soldierblackavar which I cannot access. Ah well.. the three rabbits (Hazel, Fiver, Blackberry) were purchased on Facebook through another collector who just happened to have doubles of all the rabbits. I bought Kehaar on eBay UK. I have a friend that lives over there, who served as a proxy to help me get him, as the seller wouldn鈥檛 ship to me. I adore all of them! In the bottom photo is a custom plush of Blackavar, also from the 1978 film! Blackavar is my favorite character, in ANY adaption. I absolutely had to have a plush of him. He was made by carolyns_plushies on Instagram. Eventually I hope to commission her for a larger floppy plush of Blackavar as well, and also a plush of Bigwig in the same position and size as the Blackavar plush shown here. I love all my Chad Valley WSD plushes dearly, but Blackavar is my absolute favorite in my collection. These guys are the greatest. I love them heaps. 鈾ワ笍
i made a watership down personality quiz based on the 2018 miniseries!!
this is one of my favourite shows ever, and it gets so little love and attention compared to the book, tv series and the original movie. i saw there were very little personality quizzes for wd on uquiz, so i decided to analyze some of the characters from the miniseries and create one myself!
all feedback is appreciated and i'd love more people to talk to about watership down and especially the miniseries!!
Complete set of Watership Down plushes, made by Chad Valley in 1978. They were grails for a long time, before I finally managed to hunt them down. Got the rabbits (Hazel, Fiver, Blackberry) all at once, from a seller on Facebook. Kehaar was purchased on eBay UK, with help from a British friend who served as my proxy to get him to the US. I absolutely adore them all, some of my favorite pieces of my collection, and I will never sell them.
So I read the watership down graphic novel a few days ago (it was very good, great adaptation of the original book though some things were missing/lacking) and it gave me the itch to draw bunnies again.
So instead of, idk, cooking or eating dinner I drew a bunch of watership down bunny rabbits :) Its almost 12 am and im starving but I just needed to get it done today, i wanted to share the watership down love. Who knows, maybe if I had stopped, it would have ended up in wip limbo/hell and i didnt want that to happen
Anyhow, I sadly wasnt able to fit everyone but I tried to include most of the main bunnies. I was gonna squeeze blackavar in there but i was all out of brain juice and also canvas space. I used photo references of wild rabbits to try and get the shapes right but the ears were very challenging. Im afraid some might have turned out looking more like hares instead but I really tried my best! (this took me like over 4 hours rip)
I also tried really hard to make their coat colors and patterns varied but still believable/natural-ish. Vervain is a lil random because honestly i didnt know what to do for him so i just let the vibes guide me.
To fill the empty space beneath pipkin i included tiny El-ahrairah, the black rabbit of Inl茅 and frith because i despise having empty space on sketch pages.
Anyhow im gonna try to figure out what to eat now, hope you guys enjoy!
