First of all, much thanks to all the new watchers that have found their way here:3 I'm a bit saddened though that I don't have much for y'all ATM. First off my drawing skills are still under development so most the stuff here is very elementary at best. Also I just haven't devoted that much to it of late with everything else I'm up to in my busy life. Mainly just gifts here n' there for close friends. Need to try n' bring one of those to completion this holiday weekend. Also gotta try n' recover from a very nasty cold that just doesn't want to fully let go. So much for tailgating with the FS crew this weekend:(

For some awesome bit of news, I have come up with my new ottersona to share with the furry community. I've been wanting to have an otter character for awhile. He'll be a dark, almost chocolate brown otts with cream colored chin n' underside of neck area. Also have blond hair n' blue eyes to compliment his Southern Californian surfer look. His name is Mordecai Dean Riggsdale. Yes that name is kinda a Regular Show homage but the main idea for this character came from 2 interesting inspirations. First off, thanks to  kalahari, I saw Animalympics for the first time. I loved the otter in that Dean Wilson. Thus the inspiration for Mordo's mannerisms n' such cam about from that. What solidified the place of origin n' him being a surfer actually came from something totally different than surfing....baseball!

You see I'm a big baseball fan. I make it painfully obvious that my team is the Atlanta Braves. For those who don't know, the pretty much face of our team Chipper Jones is retiring after this season. So in every last series he plays in a ballpark the Braves visit they honor him with various gifts, video tributes n' such. It's nice to see really. Opposing fans cheering him on in his farewell tour as it's become known. Anyways their latest series (n' extremely disappointing one I might add) was in San Diego. Now I've always loved that ballpark of theirs even if hitters aren't so fond of it. Anyways for their gift to Chipper, they gave him a personalized surfboard with the San Diego Padres emblem on it n' such. It was then that the lightbulb in my brain went off. My otter character should hail from San Diego n' should be a surfer, swimmer, n' diver like Dean Wilson! So Mordecai Dean Riggsdale was born. I'll be fleshing out more of the details bout him in the weeks to come. Hopefully I can even get a reference sheet done at some point. We shall see. Take care y'all^^
