Talwyn (andi)

[immy]

Name of Character: Talwyn Gilead
Text: Talwyn
Quote: Compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright OR Im looking to the sky to count the stars
Species: Equine
Age: Newborn but the image will be for his yearling/young adult stage.
Gender: Stallion <3
Breed: Mustang x Andalusian
Colour: Dapple Buckskin with a flaxen&black mane and tail.
Physical Appearance: Talwyn will end up being slight in build like his father, lithe and skinny, one of the best words to describe him would be "petite" He is a dapple buckskin, very light in coloring considering his father was a palomino (his dam was a slightly dappled gray) and his mane is a combination of flaxen and black, with some mahogany 'highlights' His legs are darker but he has what looks like a white stripe down the middle of his face. He can have primitive markings if you'd like, his sires side is pure kiger mustang <3
Personality: Talwyn is rather a somber and serious character, trying to maintain the appearance of a grown horse even in his youth. Talwyn tries his best to be mature and not a worry on his mother or father. In his youth he witnesses his mother being physically assaulted by another stallion and his youth is going to be filled with a bit of scrambling as his sire looks for allies in his quest to get back at the stallion who happens to be the alpha. Talwyn is going to end up with a big crush on the lead mare of the 'mare only' herd and will develop a bit of a complex for the independent type of women. He will likely end up being a guardian for that herd when he's older instead of running his own, limiting himself to one mare who he will devote himself completely to.

Right now Talwyn is just a quiet and rather reflective youth who is trying to grow up much too fast.
Images or References: mmmk, so I have a bunch of these. all are stock. The first set is Hoodsey stock taken from her nshc_stock album on photobucket although her deviantart is hoodsey@DA (pretty simple). The stock is public and the password is Hoodsey.

They are in several different albums and I will link to some of my favorites, it's not too hard to find the rest of them.

The other is Nykidda stock from DA and there are more in her album, I'm just linking to the one so you can find her DA easier <3

and feel free to find your own images as well, I just figured I'd give some options. I spent ages finding stock for him <3 heh
Image Ideas: I'd like to see him somewhere in nature, somewhere peaceful and relatively quiet. He's a somber reflective soul and I'd for the image to convey that. Maybe in a forest or... I don't know, looking up at the sky or into a pool of quiet water. Anything you want really.
Example post with requested character: I havent played him yet but if whoever does this would like a sample post just ask and I'll whip something up. I bet I'll have one by tomorrow or the next day, he was just born and I'm itching to play him.
Comments: Please take full artistic freedom with this, I'm open to whatever.
Signature?: would be great, like 450-500 in width.
Which site(s) will you be using the image to? The windriver valley (http://www.acornrack.com/windriver)
Specific Artist?: Everybody is great and anybody is free to try this but maybe Infer, Neptune or Crimsy would like to do it...?

Sweeet! I'm stoked.

[immy]

thats fine. take your time and feel better!

[YO ANDI ?!]

I'm so so so sorry but I'm gonna have to give this one up. I've had to redo this image like 3 times so far, and none have come out nicely.

I can't find any decent stock of a dun horse that fits your characters personality.

You say he's a somber and serious horse, but I can't find any horses fitting this personality. If you don't mind a horse not seeming this I can deffinatly give it another go?

[immy]

The horse doesn't have to be serious. That's fine <3 He has his playful stages of course.

[YO ANDI ?!]

Awesome! I found some pretty dun horses that were jumping around! :]

[immy]

sweet! I'd love to see him jumping around and in motion. <3

[YO ANDI ?!]

Of course, as soon as I said I found them jumping around I found one of it just trotting along.

XP I thought it was just adorable so I used it! :3

[immy]

okay,cant wait to see it

i'll make the clickable if you like the picture.


i think it could have been better.

tell me if you want any changes (or want to re order) it wont hurt my feelings lol

[immy]

mmmm it's frigging epic. Although with the quote, the or meant either or so... if possible could you have it just say 'compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright' that would make my day.

and yes I'd love a clickable... err more a resized version. Like 450-550 in width and however tall you want but not super short. Like over 300 though. I'm going to put it into a table. <3

[YO ANDI ?!]

hahah that makes sense, eh?
