Reference Image:![]() Name: Bristlecone Weight: 76 lbs. History & Origin: Bristlecone was born from a litter of inbred Hekogs, and as a result was rejected by her mother and family. At birth her mother tried to kill her by crushing her head in her jaws, but was stopped by Bristle's father. He suggested just to leave them to fend for themselves and they would die soon enough, leaving Bristle with a giant scar on her face. It is not a actual eye mark because being inbred, she did not inherit this special trait. She was found by a family of wolves, one of whom was a mother who had just lost her pup to a bear. The female wolf took pity on the little Hekog and raised her as her own. As a result, Kae doesnt know much about her heritage as Hekog, but it doesnt really bother her. In her mind she's as much of a wolf as she is a Hekog. RP Sample: The little Hekog cried out for her mother, who was nowhere to be seen or heard. "Mother?! Mother?!" cried the little 'ghost hare'. "Im here little one," came a soothing voice. It was not her birth-mother, but she was even better. She would never leave. She would never call her scum. She loved her just as she was, and thats all that mattered. Age: 19 years old [Human Years] Gender: Female Edit: Removed stripes on her face and put her 'eyemark' in place.

What's Working: Holy smokes! Well, I really like the design first off. That was my reaction to image. I first I was kind of iffy about her being inbred because they don't really exist--but then I thought about it and figured it probably would happen a lot by accident, and kittens were probably killed as soon as they were born. Maybe you can tie that in somehow. Corrections Needed: The markings are a little wild. They look kind of unnatural. But if you were to say it was a stylization of marbled cat markings and make a few adjustments I might let it fly. Something like this: ![]() But with your colors and more broad like you have it, if you know what I mean? Just a suggestion for a solution. You can wait to see what others think. Overall Impression: Cool Vote: Yes Edited by Redwood Ravine, Oct 26 2010, 03:42 PM.

What's Working: Very different markings! I like the clouded spots! ![]() Corrections Needed: I would make your yellow a little less bright, to make it more natural looking. She kind of reminds me of mac n cheese right now. NO OFFENSE INTENDED, I SWEAR!! <3 its just that the yellow has a lot of orange to it, and im hungry right now. Overall Impression: Very nice, but the colors are a bit too bright for me. The thicker black markings might flow more if they were dappled in like the spots but still darker. Vote: Pending, I'd like to know what you think of my suggestions. <3 |

this is just a temporary ref by the way. It is intended to show her markings placement mostly. I have hand-drawn her real ref and will be using that one when it is finished. As for the mac n cheese, I dont think it looks too orange. But then again i may have a different contrast setting on my computer, so yeah. |

What's Working: I like the design being based off of an actual feline. Corrections Needed: Eye marking? There's something faint there I can't see, but I'm colourblind to shades, so my apologies if you have one there. Overall Impression: Nice. Vote: Yes |

There is an eye marking there, but its not really so much of a coloration or spot. Its a scar where her mother tried to kill her as a baby. I thought that with her being inbred and not having hardly any ties to her Zuet family she wouldn't have a definite eye marking like the purebreds. I just thought that it would be something different and special about my character. Here is another ref that I made from the template. Bristlecone's ref Edited by Noro, Oct 22 2010, 08:14 AM.

What's Working: Okay well, I also do like the design, a lot, especially the patterning, although those stripes throw me off as they seem inconsistent but hey(!), it's acceptable. I can see what you're trying to attempt and I know Furcadia doesn't have the best color selection so I accept the particular yellow-used. Especially comparing it to the image Tiamat posted. Although her history is acceptable, I would like to discourage inbred Zuet Hekog characters in the future, as Zuet Hekogs are very proud animals and it is to my understanding that they would never inbreed, so it's very rare to begin with, and not so much accidental. Corrections Needed: I would appreciate a little more information in regards to her inbred liter and possible reasons supporting why it might have happened. Overall Impression: Acceptable Vote: Yes - I do very much approve of the current set and design I have reviewed. |

In regards to her inbred litter, I have an idea for a back-story, but it is still being developed. Basically, her mother and father where cousins. Her father however was from a faraway place. They separated at breeding age from their original clan and became integrated into different clans. Her father went out hunting one day and hit his head, causing him to almost lose all his memories. He forgot he had a clan, his name, and for a while, even his species!! One day he came across her mothers clan, and after weeks of coming back to their camp because he was so hungry, they decided to take him in so he would not starve to death. Him and Bristle's mom fell in love and mated. Just a week or so before the kits where due, he hit his head again and regained his memories. Then he realized who he was and that Bristle's mom was his cousin. Panicking, the mom decided to kill the cubs, and distanced herself from the father. The day of bristles birth, the father stumbled upon her mother, who had already killed the rest of the litter. He felt bad that all this death he had brought upon her mother. He told her he would do this last one. She went back to the clan, but as he was left with the little creature he found he couldn't kill her. So then the wolves come in and yada yada. But yeah, thats what I thought would be a good story. Whatcha think?
