How did I get my character "Skunki"?

I use "Skunki" on Furnet because, I liked the skunk who wasn't allowed to get into Donald's house in the Micky Mouse Magazin Nr.31/1981 just because he was a skunk (is that a reason?).

I looked at the second picture and I'm sure, he was *very* sad. Skunks have feelings.....but no human cares, and ducks, too.

Skunki is a small skunk morph, just about 1m (39,37 inches) tall. He is quite happy with this size, because he doesn't like bumping his head in his celler. Skunki is not very happy at home; many humans don't like him because he is a skunk, so he likes going out in summer quite often. He loves diving, traveling and camping with friends and he also loves to cuddle a lot. Skunki doesn't spray and is a quite clean Skunk, so don't be afraid to hug him.

After CF10 in April 1999 I had a very unpleasent encounter with Americans. Out of this experience the idea of a new fursuit was forming itself in my mind. It was supposed to be a serious, realistic character. My decission fell on the picture of Dirk Schmidt you can see below. The new character was named "Schreber" according to a biological term for "skunk" (Encyclogedie Van Het Dierenriyk Bd. 2; Wilhelm Eigner, Georg Westermann Verlag 1973; ISBN 9060930555, Page 452). He is usually wearing a German uniform and is always armed.

If you want to see a picture of the skunks, just go to my costume page.

Sitting on a bench...I wonder what might happen if I use this picture for an application.
