English:

So, this guy was originally supposed to be a coyote -- but because the brown ended up a little too dark, I just started thinking of him as a general dog canine. [Plenty of others still call him a coyote, though -- perhaps due to the length of his muzzle. Coydog? Dunno.]

I finished him back in 2008, and have done a few improvements since: better padding, lining, things of that sort. Because he was kind of a quick project, he's been kind of high-maintenance for repairs -- but he's otherwise been a really fun character to perform as. And at least I've been keeping a few better suit-building practices in mind since.

Thanks to
 WhiteWolf009 (aka Diego)
for being randomly willing to snap this photo of me on my own phone camera, after he was snapping some pictures of his own. [Interestingly enough, "Diego" was one of the names I'd been considering for this character.] This photo was snapped in the early hours of Saturday, August 3 at Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2013.

[Note for late October 2013: I think his name'll be Diago! I looked up the name Diego on BehindTheName.com, and saw that Diego was related to Santiago -- and I didn't want to conflict with others who had the Diego name. So I think this name'll work!]

Ido:

Nu, ca karaktero origine supozita esar koyoto -- ma tala quale la furo bruna rezultis poke troe obskura, me penseskis a lu kom hundo o kanino generala. [Multa altri tamen konsideras lu kom koyoto -- forsan pro ke lu havas muzelo longa. Ka lu esas koyotohundo? Me ne savas.]

Me kompletigis lu frue en 2008, e me igis kelka plubonuri delore: plu bona pado, futero, e kozi di ta sorto. Pro ke lu esis quaza rapida projeto, lu bezonas multa repari tempope -- ma lu altre esas tre amuzanta karaktero por plear. E depose, me esis merkanta kelka plu bona metodi por konstruktar altra karakteri maskotala.

Danki a
 WhiteWolf009 (altranome Diego)
por hazarde e volunte fotografir ca imajo pri me kun mea telefonico* kamerala, pos il fotografis me kun sua kamero. [Interesante, "Diego" esis una de la nomi quan me konsideris por ca karaktero.] Ca imajo esis fotografita en la hori frua di Saturdio, 3ma di Agosto, en Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2013.

[Noto por avancinta Oktobro 2013: Me pensas ke me nomesos ca karaktero "Diago"! Me inquestis la nomo "Diego" en BehindTheName.com, e me lektis ke la nomo "Diego" relatas a "Santiago." Me deziras ne-konfliktar kun altri quan havas la nomo "Diego" -- do me pensas ke la nomo "Diago" solvas ta problemo!]


* Me preferas uzar .ic. vice .il. ("ico/ito qua _____"), pro ke me dezeas uzar .il. & .el. vice .ul. & .in. kom afixi genrala. Me pensas ke .il. & .el. esas afixi plu neutra, tala quale .ul. & .in. semblas komunikar staturi e konduti di personi de genri diferanta. Me savas ke .ul. & .in. venas de la vorti maskulo & femino, ma la afixo .in. sonas diminutiva komparata kun .ul.. On devas konsiderar la Principo di Relativeso Linguistikala.
