Oh boy, I can't wait to wear him and hear the harassment. ;{
https://www.weasyl.com/manage/thumbnail?charid=65815 so I chose his face markings because elk have that black nose, but I've always been a fan of dragon muzzles which is a little part of him being a monster, so I went wit an all dark muzzle.

And I added the white ring because I felt his muzzle could use some sort of design.
Tele has always been an inspiration to me, but no the intention behind him has nothing to do with them.

Why am I bringing this up? Preparing myself I guess. I made the first Dutch suit to the community (that I know of): https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1348957/chicho
And was harassed so much by meets I went to, along with many online ordeals, even with selling them.

Same with this suit I made: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1347087/drabbit
I had to deal with so much bullshit that I shouldn't have had to go through.

Just because one suiter has a muzzle ring doesn't mean no one else can. I've had people question Tohopka's likeness before, and I know if he didn't have it no one say anything to me.

I thought we could get pasted all this with more and more information coming out about the Dutch species, but I guess not. but I definitely do plan to hold my head up while wearing him instead of being torn up inside all over again.
And "fight" for people to accept that designs can be similar, yet completely different and not meant in poor intentions.
