Description
Another Mentalaties inspired one! This is a big ol' buddy for her smexy Dee! See, told you I'd get it up! And no reference save for a few levades (thanks Decors!)

This was the file that photoshop mauled, so I started from the redline again. A background, ain't that a surprise?! It took over two days, and the background I'm still not happy with. He's about to haul those big floating boulders right into your face, so read on and freaking comment plz! D8

Name Caohobarox kay-oh-bar-ox
Meaning White Ox
Nicknames Barox, Ox courtesy of Dee
Gender Stallion
Race Noble Pure Blood
Element Earth
Manifest Gold Veins unshaded, don't glow

Personality
To strangers, Ox can be anything from standoffish to point blank uninterested, not by any vice but merely because of his military mindset. In a crowd he becomes snarky and very aware of his personal space and even though he's not the smartest guy on the block, his intelligence is above average, and mainly used in thought he never voices.

Fiercely loyal to friends and family that have proved their worth to him, he reveals a much more laid back, easygoing side to them. Ox is an allround nice guy, and perhaps is only vice is is stubbornness. Typical of many Earth elementals, once he's set his mind on something, very little can deter him and he hates to have his decision challenged by others he dislikes.

Brief Physical
Towering and bulked up, Ox is a sight to see in motion. His stark white mane and tail, from his mother's line, usually lay dead flat on him, except of course when he's in motion. Built a little strangely, something he inherited from his father; Ox is rather front-heavy with massive shoulders and a thick neck that may sometimes make his head appear slightly too small. His back slopes slightly and his natural stance is slightly 'arked out' like a Morgan on show. His feathers start at his knees and hocks, thin and short until his fetlocks, whereupon it suddenly gains length and multitude.

His family home high in the cold mountains of his 'earth', the feathering and ample hair keep him warm, but make him rather unsuitable for warmer climates such as the one pictured. Ox's coat is a pale white with darker slightly earthen toned points, such as his knees, hocks, shoulders and flanks and on top of these darker markings are opaque dapples. His eyes are a startaling gold colour, the same as his manifests and his strong, cloven hooves and curved horn (born with pride) are a deep brown. Ox speaks with a thick Russian accent that many of his homeland bore, that is, when he does say anything at all.

History
Born into one of the reclusive pure blooded Noble families high in the mountains, young Ox was raised with a strict military rule under his father, a veteran of skirmishes with the 'bastard' halfbloods and mortals who strongly believed he and his type a superior race. Thankfully, his compassionate mother helped Ox not to become as narrow minded as his sire and somehow the stallion developed a more outgoing personality then other Elementals, with far better 'eople skills' then his father. It is unknown whether this is simply a taught characteristic, or if there is a hidden link in family line, possible halfblood.

As he came of age, Ox struck out on his own, seeking the solitary life many elementals sustained with success. A few months later, he bumped into the gregarious Dedalie, who he now travels with.

WOW... A little bit too much writing, but ohwells. I hope you like him! And just a note, I have permission to create an Elemental like Ox and Dee, and as far as i have been told, they are not 'free for creation'. Any further questions, please direct at the UBERAWESOME Mentalities.

Wow! This piece caught my eye right off the bat. I'm really amazed at the amount of details in this, especially the lovely dapple coloring, that can be difficult to do for some! Your shading style is also quite unique. Beautifully done
