Description Before I hear any grief about this character, yes, she is a border collie. But guess WHAT? She is NOT a new character. Back in 2004, I wanted to create my own canine character, but I absolutely refused to follow the "Husky/Huskie" trend that exploded. So I chose a border collie, knowing full well that one day...they'd be the next wave of popular canines. So yeah, "Chrys," as she was formally called, is my canine character and was originally the canine version of Quaylak. But lately, I've been meaning to revamp 'ol Chrys and make her her own character. So there ya go, this is Dite. Her name is pronounced "Dye-tea," like "Aphrodite." Not "Dye-t." I chose this name for her because she is my seductress/whore/skank character. Plus it's very cutesy-poo, which is so NOT me, but fits her perfectly. I'll be using Dite to do my dirty work, like portraying my girly moods and things like that (not that Quaylak can't, but Dite will be a better outlet).

Here's some old images of Chrys/Dite. If you don't believe I had one of the first border collie chars before they became popular, check out the "date submitted" section next to the descriptions. [link] and [link]

I absolutely LOVE blue merle border collies. They are my favorite breed of canine and blue merle is my favorite fur color. In fact, I had a blue merle border collie named Indy, who actually appeared a while back in some of my art (check him out right here: [link] ). Here's some actual photos of him as a puppy: [link] and [link] (from my old account). So yeah, I wanted Dite to be a blue merle (and she's literally blue!).

There ya have it, most of the info on Dite and her origins. I'm going to go ahead and put some bio information down for her, for future trades and things like that and just for my own information as well.

Dite and Artwork (C) Me, S. Ideno/Quaylak




Name: Dite (dye-tea)
Breed: Blue Merle Border Collie
Age: 4 years
Mate: Unmated (yet she has many lovers)
Pups: None, surprisingly.
Interests: Girly things, pretty shiney things, seducing others/being a temptress, snow/winter, herding males (she does have that herding instinct, afterall)


Personality: Sassy, flirty, and highly lovable (except by the females of her lovers, heh heh), Dite earned her name when she was just a pup. She was the first to lick a young male's cheek when the other pups were grossed out at the idea of even being near the opposite sex. Often stubborn, hard-headed, and lonely, despite her countless suitors, Dite is quite the leader when necessary. Unlike other seductresses, Dite loves puppies. She's an odd one.

Yes. So. Um. This pretty little thing is going somewhere on my list of things to draw simply because, well, she's gorgeous I truly love her blue merle patterning and I can't help but want to try to recreate the look in my own style. Maybe I'll just get "real happy" one of these days and slap all your amazingly awesome characters together in one massive picture. Yes. I could see myself doing something like that.

Dude, DO IT. I should do a big group shot of all my characters. That would be tough, though. Bleh.

BUT. I'm glad you like her! She's a sexy bitch, I know. XD

omg all the blue!!!1 all the ref sheets i've seen recently have backgrounds the same color as the character; anyways she looks SO glam, like even her neck/ chestfur look like a giant extavegant ermine boa.

Quaylak In reply to Chanticlair [2006-09-02 06:19:22 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I'd never thought of her neck fur like that. But you are SO right! That makes her cooler. She's supposed to be very glamorous, so I guess I nailed that bit.

And I only chose a blue color because the white BG was a little too blinding. Made it difficult to see her and was just overall distracting.

Thanks!

Border collies are a rather popular breed of dog just..in general to own. But I know how you feel, its like the wave of corgis suddenly --; *shrug* I cant help it I own two therefore obviously Im gonna draw corgis more than the average breed. But eh. *rambleramble*

I love how you made the merel, cardigan corgis come in that shade (shame pems dont) and I like em too. :3

Quaylak In reply to pagedrillgirl [2006-07-27 19:47:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are popular. And obviously I'd never say "no one else can own one IRL otherwise they're copying me," 'cause then I'd be like a lot of other DA members around here. >>; I don't really care that other people have border collie characters, I knew it was going to happen anyway. I surely don't claim them as my creations. I just don't want people to see me as someone "following the crowd," ya know? I try to avoid that. I never, at any point even THOUGHT about having a husky character. Simply because yes, they are beautiful dogs, but I don't like them as much as other breeds. Borders are beautiful, intelligent, and are just awesome dogs. I actually like the border collie characters people have out there, some of them are totally awesome (like Brynn and Valixy). I just want to be recognized as someone who doesn't follow the crowd. Unfortunately, I may still be seen that way regardless. Ah well. :3

You got me rambling. Mwahaha. Thanks for the comment anyway, and you have awesome corgis!

pagedrillgirl In reply to Quaylak [2006-07-27 19:51:24 +0000 UTC]

haha no I totally agree. But with the husky thing I always wanted one as a kid (Glad I never got one though it would have never worked out for it)..I made some as a kid though..not knowing that OMG there the thing on the net. I dunno. As long as someone makes unquie designs n personality I think they could have a whole gallery that was full of nothing but "X breed" and I anyway would check it out ^-^

I love her personality tho as I re-read it x3

Quaylak In reply to pagedrillgirl [2006-09-02 06:29:21 +0000 UTC]

I just try to stay away from the mainstream character designs and breeds/species people seem to huddle around. I dunno, the real world is the same way. Once a trend or saying or way in which someone wipes their butt becomes popular, all of a sudden everyone is doing it.

Anyway, I'm not saying anyone who has a husky character is a p0ser, I'm just saying that I don't like how once one popular artist has one, EVERYONE does. And actually, the popular artists are sometimes the ones who help inflate the popularity. Bah, this discussion has been tossed around so much, it's not even worth continuing. XD

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like my sexy bitch.

She's pretty sassy looking. I like how youve created the merle fur, it works well.

Quaylak In reply to enabanana [2006-07-27 19:49:07 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't really figure out how to do her merle fur, especially because I'd never done it before. Either way, as long as you squint your eyes, you can tell she's supposed to be a merle. xD Thanks!
