The artwork is not his if you read the description. Balto, along with his other characters, were drawn by a former user of the site.

Fox is not a fox, but a dog who was apart of Balto's team. The dog to the far left of this photo is Fox: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a389/JerseyCaptain/Baltoetc2.jpg

Your art is amazing it would be so cool to see a different fox character in Balto. I wish I could design characters like you. Togo and Fritz look such like their real dog too. Its amazing

Awww, how cute he is.
Also, great job on him, i always wanted to see how the real life Balto would look in cartoon-ish style.

Thank you, Baltolover33! I am sorry I haven't responded for so long. I was...away from the site for about a year. But I appreciate what you did here!

I am putting a drawing of him up. I'll send you the link as soon as it's up.

Darn It! I was gonna do that, But, you beat me to it. Oh well.

I don't see any other mods having posted on here yet, so I'll do it. We're not going to be de-activating this character, as we don't see it breaking any rules, and we're going to make an official page for the Balto character that everyone will be able to use. Hope this clears up things for everyone.

^This is all being paraphrased from the mod box discussions about this character.

Eh, I'd say that if this was the movie version of Balto that was claimed as an original character, then yea, that would be unacceptable. I consider this to be a completely different character altogether. With a new design, new history, and new personality, all of it just closer to the historical event. If it was one of the fictional characters like Jenna or Steele, who are indeed copyrighted, I'd see an issue with it. If his design was literally the cartoon Balto, I'd see an issue with it. Since it's a realistic take on the real Balto, I don't see a problem. Mainly because I don't see this as much different than all the alternate versions of Balto's children/parents. I personally have an issue with all the different versions of Aniu, and I see plenty of those around xD But that's not really the issue here.

Cat -- No. We're not having a hard time with re-imagining.

The QUESTION is whether or not alternate universe characters are against the rules, not only for Balto Source, but for the other Sources as well.
