Description: So this wasn't something that was drawn in my sketchbooks despite it being drawn in two thousand eleven.

I drew this on a piece of 8.5"x11" piece of paper with the intention that I wasn't going to keep it, and it was going to be a gift in a frame for someone that really mattered in my life and really encouraged and was accepting of me being interested in 'taurs the way that I still am today.

And that person is my mother.

I just got this idea in my head that for her birthday towards the end of May that I'd give her a gift of a framed piece of art that I drew of my own character, though a rather simple one. It took a lot of acceptance with both myself as well as admitting such to my own family that 'taurs and furry as a whole was my interests, and there was no one more accepting than my mom for that. Granted, it hasn't been all smooth sailing; as she was one of the most outspoken about disliking my ideas behind my Centaurpede form and being a many legged 'taurtrain when that was the next evolution of it, but she's come around to it now.

Certainly if I'd followed her advise against being a 'taurtrain just because she was outspoken against the design I think things would've been a lot different than they are now.

I think she still has this art somewhere around, but its just been a long time since I've been able to visit Kentucky again.
