Description ~Description~
Name: 'Matt', but goes by various other alias'.
Age: 22 in human years (GASP)
Sex: Male
Nationality: Welsh
Eyes: Teal
Nose: Dark Brown
Coat: Brown/Liver
Hair (anthro): Black (natural colour is light brown)
Pads: Flesh tone (same as tongue, ears etc) with a darker flesh tone in a dappled/spotted pattern.
Claws: Enamel-coloured

----------------------------------------------------------------
Random points of randomness:
- Spot is on the left side of his muzzle only.
- The tip of his right ear is white.
- Matt is always seen with a black collar, with a circular silver tag. This had an inscription once, but its too faded to make out.
- He can be seen wearing sports goggles (as pictured), and loves eye patches of all types. He often wears a Japanese style medical eye patch over his left eye, and sometimes a ' pirate' style patch over his right (obviously not at the same time).
- His upper canines overhang slightly.
- His ears are very flexible and are only up and folded when alert or happy. When relaxed, they tend to lay back slightly (see bottom right).
- His coat is mostly smooth, except around his neck and cheeks, and tail.
- His right foreleg is speckled with three spots, one covering his "thumb".
- He sometimes has small scratches around his mouth, from his pet rats, and his hands also are covered in small sores (from ratty claws, not teeth, of course) ^^

----------------------------------------------------------------
Anthro form specifics:
- Matt's hair reflects my 'real' hair at all times. My 'usual' hair style is pictured.
- In anthro form, he can be seen wearing different styles of collar, but they are always present.
- He mostly wears band t-shirts, striped shirts, old jeans, black pants, and general studenty clothes.
- He is sometimes drawn with an eyebrow piercing (left), as this reflects a piercing I want irl.
- He can be drawn with the homunculus tattoo shown on Bran in anthro form (left hip), as again, I want this tattoo irl.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Breed references *stoled*
General coat length/build - [link]
Body length/build - [link]
Size reference (seems a bit small for average, but I'm not sure) - [link]
Size reference 2 - [link]
Breed standard proportions - [link]

----------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, a reference for my othersona, Matt. I've been thinking about where he stands in my whole identity, and well, for a while I felt that Bran really didn't represent me ALL the time. When I feel spiritual, or angry, or whatever, I tend to draw myself as Bran. Matt is more of my social, true-to-self 'sona. No, he won't replace Bran, I'll hold them together, and switch back and forth between the two.

I just felt that I needed a 'sona to represent me, more than Bran does. Again, Bran will never be ditched, but depending on my moods and current states of mind, my personal art will most likely switch between the wolf and the dog.

Why a collie? Well, coming from Wales, a person sees a lot of these dogs around, and well, I started drawing myself as a dog around March, and this guy came out. So yes, Matt, everyone!

The ref itself is pretty crappy, mainly because I had to fix it up in OC and MS Paint due to the current lack of Photoshop, bah. Hence the absolute hideous quality of the JPEG.

Inking pens, OpenCanvas 1.0 (colouring), Nvu (resize) and MS Paint (text)

(I wasn't happy with the quality of the JPEG, due to Paint :/)

O: I like this design! It's great to see a fursona that isn't a wolf. I mean, all you see around this damn website are wolves @_@


You win a cookie <3

Yeah, I used to be all 'YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE FURSONNA DDDDDDDDDDDD:' I have like... 2 main ones, and 2 semi-fursonnas XD (Mason and Red). We all get in different moods, and life stuff changes, so the way we portray ourselves in art is surely bound to, too :3
