Description Well, I've been wanting to create a new OC for a while now and I finally got around to finishing one.

This is my Fursona, Shidos. Yep...if I were a wolf that's what I'd look like.
She's a pure, white wolf with deep blue eyes and tattered dragon wings. She can still fly with them, it's just a little more difficult that it normally should be. She has three small horns on the back of her neck and two tails, each with a black band around them decorated with a golden Fleur De Lys. She also has the same type of bands around her front ankles - you obviously just can't see them from this angle.
This drawing was kindof emotional for me to do - She really describes how I look at myself and the things I've been through. This is in all honesty more of a "perspective" drawing for me....a self portrait of my inner feelings. I hope that doesn't sound too Emo, but it's the best way I can describe it

Anywho, as always, any comments, critiques, and suggestions are more than welcome!

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS DRAWING OR OC FOR ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION FIRST!! THANK YOU!!

Thank you very much, for both the compliments and the critique. I always appreciate other perspectives on my work - it helps me find and make improvements to make my art better.

wow, what a beautiful character. don't worry about sounding emo, this is just what a fursona is (or should be (in my opinion)) all about and yours certainly looks like a lot of thought went into it i really like the idea of the broken wings. getting up in the air might not be easy, you have to put all your effort into it, but once you make it it's clear that it was worth the effort also the horns are cool, are they supposed to symbolise a bit of a rebel inside? and about the technique you did a nice job in the fur, shading white fur is not very easy in my opinion, it tends to get too dark and look grey very quickly, but here it looks very good! and of course i have to mention the pose, it's beautiful
ok, a lot of praise here *tries to find something to complain about* hmm, the only thing i see it that the head could be just a little bit smaller, but that's not too bad, placing the head correcly from this perspective must have been hard enough
ok, with these words i'll end my novel

LOL!! I actually appreciate the novel-like ending! I like it when people explain what they like or what they feel needs to be improved in my work. It helps make me a better artist! So thank you!

Yes, I definately put alot of thought into this. And everything I did has a purpose to me.
The wings represent my past - I grew up with a mentally and emotionally abusive step-parent who constantly tried (and succeeded for a long time) to tear me down and make me feel worthless. But even though I went throught that torture and it's taken me a while to heal from all of it (cuz I still struggle with things occasionally) I've managed to still be able to lift myself above it and "find my wings to fly" so to speak.
The horns do indeed represent a bit of a rebelious side. They also represent the fact that I'm not afraid to defend myself from abuse anymore. That's also partially represented by the fact that my fursona is a wolf. Wolves are pack animals, as am I - I hate being alone. And wolves love family, as do I. Wolves are noble and intelligent, and I kinda see myself that way. I'm not the smartest person out there, but I'm not stupid either. The fact that she's a white wolf represents what others seem to think about me - everyone says my best quality is my pure heart and my innocence. I don't always agree with the innocent part ( ) but I do try to be as honest and compassionate as I can be.
The blue eyes represent clarity of vision - I see myself not through rose colored glasses but with an honesty and objectiveness that not alot of people have. I don't mind seeing my faults - as a matter of fact, I'm quicker to admit them about myself than other people are to me! I believe when you're able to look at yourself honestly, with no sugar coating or tainted perspectives, you can continue to make yourself a better person. Not alot of people are willing to be so honest with themselves, but I find it as refreshing as a dip in the ocean or as a kiss from the breeze in a bright blue sky.
The pose represents my still slightly shy nature at times. She's peeking out from behind one of her wings...a very shy and soft pose. I loved the idea the minute it entered my brain and knew I just had to draw her that way.

Well, there you have it - my own novel in response to yours! Sorry to ramble on, but thanks for the detailed critique. :iconnewglompplz:

i'm glad you appreciate my comment (even though it's ridiculously short in comparison to yours ). i have to give that compliment back, i really appreciate the comment YOU wrote. i'm glad you took your time to explain everything to me, all the thoughts you put into this picture, i really enjoyed reading it. it tells a lot about you. not only by what you wrote, but also by just writing it. it makes it easier for me to handle people if i know something about how they are, what they've experienced and how they look upon themselves. so thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on the pic with me!
you did a nice job on designing this character. you managed to bring in many different aspects without making it look "too full" (i hope you know what i mean the design is still quite "simple", but if you really try to interpret it there is a lot of information about the artist in this picture ). so yeah, this is again very short in comparison to your comment, but i rather wanted to share these thoughts with you instead of just saying like one sentence about all the different things you wrote, i thought it made more sense that way

that's good to hear!

yeah, i'm really glad about that, too! (even though my once again late answer probably doesn't make it seem that way i'm such a horrible person ) i often have problems with talking to people (more than like one or two times ), but it's always a pleasure to talk to you and hear what you have to say. and the fact that took your time to tell me those things gives me trust, and i really need that, otherwise i'm always very suspicious of everything and quickly think that i'm just annoying people so yeah, thanks for talking to me all the time, it makes me happy (LOL, that sounds kinda like a wedding vow (i guess you husband wouldn't approve ) i tried to make it sound not that cheesy, but it's impossible! oh noez! )

Oh, I get really crabby when I'm inking and coloring something. I remember being in science class, it was the end of the day, and our teacher gave us some free time. I was inking some sort of jewlery on my Persian, when someone came up behind me, jumped on me, and yelled, "BOO!" I sprang out of my seat, almost smacked them in the face, and started swearing at them since I had a huge pen line across the page.

Sometimes I'll be on the phone with my boyfriend and I'm drawing, and he'll suddenly turn the music up really loud and it scares me and I get all crabby and yell at him.
I'd prefer whiskers. I did that to a guy once. We were all trying to "Make John pretty" so we held him down and put makeup and stuff on him. I gave him Naruto whiskers.
