A Note for Artists!
The industrialized world was built on the backs of mules and men, who toiled and died for our progress. Frig's character is an exploration of labor history, American Folklore, the art style of Social Realism, tall tales, pit ponies, and themes such as 'the worker as the hero'.
Please when drawing Frig think of hardworking scenes and dynamic poses. He's a character of action- make him toil, sweat, pull, dig, and labor. The power in the scene is more important to me than character details like nose color, I would rather you explore him abstractly as a symbol than as a "typical fursona".
