I had a great idea for a fursona, and I had to get it down. I had happened to stumble upon some horse line art, so I used it... Yes, this is pre-made line art. Actually, it's a screen shot from the Dreamworks Studios film "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" that was then traced.

This is Torrent, the Missouri Fox Trotter mare. She will be my new fursona for 2008, and I have to say she's my favorite fursona thus far. I needed a change, something that was more of a representation of myself...

The Colors
I chose black because I believe that it most represents my personality - I am usually depressed, a glass-half-empty sort of person; I enjoy scaring little children, and I can easily bring out the worst side of people. However, I am also strong and fiercely loyal... The teal color is a very cool color, which I believe represents my hostility and quick anger. I am very defensive, protective, and quick to become upset.

The Markings
The markings each represent a scar or mark I have on my own body. The two on the right forelimb represent two burn scars I have that are about the same size and right next to one another - One from scalding water I got poured on me by my mother when I was very young, and the other from when I got into one of many fights and hit my arm against a hot exhaust pipe. The markings on the hind right thigh represents a scar I received from a serrated knife; the fact that the hind right hoof is pink represents the scars from where two of my toes almost got cut off. The marking on the lower left hind leg represents yet another scar I gave myself by accident while I was shaving (I was in a hurry and had to get to a dance, shut up); and, finally, the markings on the face represent my facial piercings, as well as the scar around my left eye that Alex gave me when he hit me in the face accidentally with a trampoline pole.

The Animal of Choice
I picked a horse because horses were my first true animal love - Before wolves, or whales, or any other of God's creatures. I've always have a fascination with them, and though I am not much good at drawing them, I still adore them. I am, however, getting better...

A Few Little Details
- Torrent's eyes are solid black. No color, no shading, nothing. Just pitch black.
- The wisp of black mane between her ears is a must, as well as the pale teal in her tail.
- The facial markings are different on the right side - Another image will be uploaded shortly that will show these other markings.
- Torrent also has a light teal dorsal stripe, and a marking on her right shoulder that is not visible in this image. Another image will be uploaded shortly that will show these other markings.
- Torrent's nostrils are never pink. They are always black.

Don't worry, kids. I will definitely be drawing Torrent and giving her my own stylized twists... I just had to get this down before I forgot it, and I can't draw on a computer to save my life.

Now, about this line art. A few things need to be cleared up...

Some people may try to flame me and say that I stole this from a user named Aniutqa. However, this is not true - This line art was originally copyrighted by Dreamworks Studios, INC. upon creation of the "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" film. If you would like, I can offer you a screen shot directly from said film that will match perfectly with this line art - Therefore, I will NOT be giving Aniutqa any credit whatsoever for this piece.

If you have something to say about this issue, don't post it here and waste space. Please send me a note so that we may discuss it properly. Thank you.
