Description
Jan 5th 2007Just the head-shot of my fursona.
I've been told by a few people who know me in real life that the image isn't actually that far off from my true appearance.. erm, save for it being a bunny.
In case you're wondering, my online persona is a 'bunny' as I'm frequently known as 'PookaBunny', and a Pooka is a shapeshifting, animal faerie from the Celtic lands (frequently seen as either a horse or a rabbit, but can be any animal).
everything (c) to myself.. duh

Absolutely GORGEOUS.
I adore that witch's hat, the style and position of it mixed with that pretty, mischievious face makes me really like this out of most of your recent art.
I can't believe how detailed your art is; I love how you do hair, oh-so-much! If this has even the slightest of resemblances to you, You must be darn beautiful (; Keep up the gorgeous work.

A pooka bunny was sort of picked for me back in high school. I had to stick with my nickname.

*grins* your on furcadia now? Or is it just a fursona?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just a fursona. I used to be on furcadia, but the minute I became inactive and my characters 'died' somebody else swooped up and took thier names before I could blink. Probably to take the art I had done of them.
There was also a Wepauwet clone on there. Somebody named Kneph had even paid for art, had ports made etc that looked 'exactly' like him. But they did come to me after enough people brought it up to them, and I offered to re-design Kneph.
(Although I keep putting it off as each time I work on the design I find myself becoming angry and stop work again.)

Yea I can understand what you mean, unfortunately there are people like that on furc, some are good enough that they'll actually go to the artist and ask others don't. Most people are prteety good about reporting it to Guardians who take art thief very seriously and deal with it. Specially if its (c) to a certain person. One of the nice thing I've found.

I really love this picture, Pooka!! And I adore the shading on the hat. It just looks so satiny that I could pet it.

Yes, you do look similar in real life to this, I think ^^ You've made your fursona well.

Well.. if I had professional stylers, costume-designers/tailors, and a great photographer (not to mention being a bunny!).. maybe. lol

Heheh, yeah xD But still, it does look very similar to your real 'form' xD

I love that hat! It's so cute.
For some odd reason you remind me of my fluffy bunny. Though in the picture your not fluffy. Eh, it might just be me.

Hee, I actually have a halloween witches hat that looks something close to that. But not exactly (no nice pentacle band, and the tip of it is all curly).

Aww! ^^ I love your fursona! You look almost like your fursona and thats whats so good about it!
I take interest in all living animals because I applied for Veternarian School for 4 years, and rabbits seem to just hit me.
Anyway! This is just great, Pooka!! ^^ *favs* Wonderful job! I love the glowing letters and the purple around it.

I actually tried to get into vetrinary school. It's very difficult. I took all of the classes, did an extra two years of highschool just to re-do some of those classes for higher grades. Worked as a volunteer in a vet clinic for half a year... but couldn't get into vetrinary school.
But I do have to admit, I gave up after one try as I had a newborn baby and just didn't have the time or money for school at that moment in my life.
There were only 30 or so openings for the class, and they recieved thousands of applications. They took the top 100 (which I was in) and had them come in to write an english and math exam so the top 30 could get into the class. In all honesty, I suck at math! I can do the problem solving, work out what needs to be done, but I just can't do math in my head. I don't know why! I've noticed it's a problem that many artists have.
So my english exam went well, but I practically bombed the math one as I ran out of time half way through. *sighs*
So the moral of the story.. be good at math to get into vetrinary school, and that Pooka really sucks at math.

I bet it is! I have about a few more school years to go, but I am already looking into some colleges and I seem to be great at math, I am an A student at Math. Apparently, after moving here, I went to Alegrab 1 and Geometry in Middle School and now I am past 10th grade material! ^^ I am a fast learner!

Random thought, but in the land of Christie's home, a "pooka" was a completely different thing! XD They were actually just fuzzballs with legs and two eyes, and no arms. My brother made them up and called them pookas (well, I think he made them up...) and was constantly drawing them, and I continued to draw them. :3 Sorry. That was very, very random.
Anyways, absolutely stunning job on this. You have real talent ^_^

Oh, lol. It's actually a type of faerie from mythology. There are a few versions of it though, most have pookas as a horse ('spitshine white' or 'coal black') who would take un-suspecting people on a wild ride and kill them. Others have them ruining crops, souring milk, upsetting the cows. And then in Wales they are more benevolent and sometimes help people.
So they seem to vary from horribly evil, to neutrally mischevious, to kind and helpful. 
Puck from a Midsummer Night's Dream is a good example of a pooka (and 'puck' is another word for pooka), as is Harvey (the 6' invisible rabbit) from the self named movie/play.
I was actually given the nickname of Pooka in my last year of highschool. I had changed schools and met a new batch of friends. We were all telling silly childhood stories, and I told them of how until I was around 6 I believed that I was a humanoid bunny, and how nobody could tell me differently. My one friend Jo looked and cried out happily 'You're a POOKA!', and they started to call me Pooka from that day forward.
(Even one girl, very silly I adored her, would jump in front of me asking 'Does the Pooka wanna polka?' and I'd always laugh or bow and say 'Yes the Pooka does wanna polka' and we'd polka around where-ever we were, giggling like air-heads. lol)

Oh so shmexy Pooka
Must Fave IMMEDIATELY!!!!
The look on your face is just so adorable

beautiful pose and shading! you do ears really well, I mean, they're pretty difficult to pull off sometimes. You perfected eet. XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had a hard time with the ears as I wasn't sure if the other one could be seen. I tried to draw that other ear in about 10 times and it never looked right. Then I realised it was because with the pose it wouldn't be seen. *shrugs*

Pooka, if that's even close to what you look like, you must be a very lovely girl indeed. Your husband is indeed blessed to have you.

Erm
But not too far off. ^^ At least according to my husband.
I have a (blurry) picture of myself on my web cam section. (My digital camera sucks.. sorry.)

Pretty! <3 I love your fursona. As well as the coloring and bg ^^
(My fursona is a butterfly-horse. I just never draw her
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Full horse head? Full horse body? Anthro/quad? colours... details....?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Horse body, but with butterfly wings + antenna. And I'm thinking of adding more butterfly-esque parts to her.
Colors...mostly brown, cream, and pink in the original, but I'll be adding some blue if I see that it works with the other colors. Details...I'm going to try to incorporate a beauty mark under one eye, and she'll wear my Minoan snake goddess necklace. :3
Though the winged nightmare guise is a more shadowy type, black, with red eyes. Also with the necklace.
Anthro/quad...quad. Though there will prob'ly end up being an anthro version too.
The design was actually by ~Druid-Ulises , for one of her own characters...she was awesome and let me use the design after I said in a journal I wanted a butterfly-horse for a fursona. x3
