This is the first time I have ever commissioned anyone.
EclipseWolf drew this picture for me, and I am very happy with the result.
IRL, I am quite gender neutral. I do have both a masculine and a feminine side, and I sometimes envision myself as either one or the other, although for the most part, I am feeling neutral. This guy here, ended up looking similar to the RL me, despite me not sending any photos of my human body to EclipseWolf. All he had to work with, was my verbal descriptions, and a few pictures of a bull calf that I sent to him.
I wanted to base this bovine version of myself upon this certain bull calf, because of the very special emotional bond that formed between the two of us. He became like a little brother to me. I will tell more about him, some other time, because there is a lot to say.
But I do think it is fitting that I now have a picture which is practically a visual blend between him and me. The bull calf will always be a part of me, and... well... maybe this picture is the picture of who I became after having had the honour of being his friend.
This picture envisions a part of me that I see as being the 'real' me. There are a few different parts of me who are all parts of the 'real' me, but this is probably the part of me who is the most 'me'.
When I look in the mirror, I do not see me. This is closer to what I really would look like, if the appearance of my body would mirror what is truly me.

*bugar respektfullt* Tack! Avsaknad av horn, ja. Det finns rätt många raser av nötkreatur som saknar horn helt. Ända sedan jag först skapade mig en rollspelskaraktär som var en tjur, vilket var 1998, så har jag alltid valt att rollspela hornlösa raser. Första ko-rasen som jag någonsin rollspelade som var Angus (Svart Angus), och de finns endast som helt hornlösa. Men jag är helt såld på deras vackra ansikten och stiliga kroppsbyggnad. Jag har haft många favoritraser genom åren. Nu förtiden är mina favoritraser Limousin och Charolais, vilka finns både som behornade, och naturligt hornlösa. Charolais är den rasen som jag rollspelat mest som.
Jag har inte vetat vilken ras som jag egentligen mest känner mig som. Jag vet inte ens vilken art jag känner mig mest som. Det är därför som jag har valt "Bovine" som species... för att det täcker in samtliga nötkratursraser, samt övriga arter inom det bovida släktet. Jag skulle lika gärna kunna vara en visent (Europeisk Bison) exempelvis.
När jag till sist bestämde mig för att nu banne mig ska det bli av att jag skaffar lite bilder på "mig" som den som jag känner mig som inuti, så var jag ju tvungen att bestämma mig för ras och utseende. Jag funderade länge på om jag skulle vara Charolais, Svensk Rödvit Boskap (SRB), eller om jag skulle vara Holstein (den svartvita rasen).
Till sist bestämde jag mig för att hedra den tjurkalv som har betytt så enormt mycket för mig, genom att basera utseendet på min karaktär på honom. Och han var Holstein, och han hade inte horn.
Det var först efteråt, när jag väl hade fått bilden, och insåg att bilden liknar både mig, och tjurkalven på samma gång, som bilden fick ytterligare en dimension för mig. Det blev väldigt emotionellt, i och med att jag känner att tjurkalvens minne lever kvar i mitt hjärta och i mitt minne. Det blev lite som "He lives in you" från "Lion King 2", om du kommer ihåg den. Den här bilden som är en fusion mellan mig och tjurkalven, blev en väldigt konkret bekräftelse på att han fortfarande lever kvar inuti mig.

* Bows respectfully * Thanks! The absence of horns, yes. There are quite a few breeds of cattle without horns entirely. Ever since I first made me a roleplaying character that was a bull, which was 1998, I have always chosen to role play hornless breeds. The first cow breed that I ever played that role was Angus (Black Angus), and they are just as completely hornless. But I'm completely sold on their pretty faces and handsome physique. I have had many favorite breeds over the years. Nowadays, my favorite breeds Limousin and Charolais, which are both horned and naturally hornless. Charolais is the race that I role played mostly as.
I had no idea what race I really just feel like. I do not even know what species I am most like. That is why I have chosen "Bovine" that species ... because it covers all nötkratursraser, and other species in the genus bovida. I might as well be a European bison (Bison European) example.
When I finally decided that now bloody well will become of that I get some pictures of "me" as the one I feel like inside, so I just had to make up my mind to race and appearance. I thought long and hard if I would be Charolais, Swedish Red and white cattle (SRB), or if I would be Holstein (black and white race).
Finally I decided to honor the calf, which has meant so very much for me, by basing the look of my character on him. And he was a Holstein, and he had no horns.
It was only afterwards, once I had received the picture, and realized that the picture is similar to both me and the bull calf at the same time, as the picture was another dimension for me. It was very emotional, in that I feel that bull calf's memory lives on in my heart and in my memory. It was a bit like "He Lives in You" from "Lion King 2", if you remember it. This photo is a fusion between me and the young bull, was a very concrete confirmation that he still lives inside me. Very accurately translated by Google.

So you were curious, eh? ;) Yes, translations between English and Swedish usually work pretty well, due to the sentence structure in the two languages being very similar, unlike languages such as German, French or Spanish, for example.
I only spot one place where the words were changed enough to lose the meaning more drastically:
"The first cow breed that I ever played that role was Angus (Black Angus), and they are just as completely hornless."
It should have read: "The first cattle breed that I ever roleplayed as, was Angus (Black Angus), and they exist solely as completely hornless."
