FINAL FANTASY IV
FUSOYA PROJECT #511 CREATED: 2013 "KluYa gave you his power to thwart the foul machinations of Zemus. We must stop him from the sake of our two races!" FuSoYa was the Guardian of the Lunarians, the race of people who once lived on the planet between Mars and Jupiter. When that planet was destroyed, leaving behind only a ring of scattered asteroids, its people retreated to Earth. When they found that its people were still evolving, however, they constructed a second Moon and went to sleep, with FuSoYa watching over them until the Earth was deemed ready to meet them again. When another Lunarian named Zemus refused to go into hibernation, wanting the Earth for himself, FuSoYa forced him into a physical stasis... but his mind remained awake, taking control of Golbez and using him as a puppet to collect the Crystals of the Earth. After summoning Cecil and his companions to the Moon, FuSoYa revealed Cecil's true heritage as the son of a Lunarian, KluYa. Eventually, FuSoYa confronted Golbez and dispelled Zemus' control over him, and they joined forced against Zemus. I started with a Sarumon action figure from Lord of the Rings, but I had to shorten his limbs and body so that he would be the same height as my other Final Fantasy IV projects. This was a huge undertaking! I couldn't shorten the forearms without ruining the sleeves, so I did the next best thing and created deeper holes for his hands so that they were recessed deeper into his sleeves. I also added some crazy, extra-long eyebrows, gave him a receding hairline, and built him a new moustache. His staff is the original Saruman accessory augmented with LEGO parts. In painting the toy, I used my airbrush to create that really attractive blue-to-purple gradient that I feel really helps bring the toy to life. |
