Animation Source Forums

This can be locked in less than a week, but I'm doing some couple art. Problem with being so out of touch with the OC fandom is I lose track as to who's a good or memorable pairing. And that's where y'all come in.

If you'd like to see your couple or one of your favorite couples being presented in this, just post them here, link to their profile, and explain to me why you like them as a couple.

I'm only doing certain ones, but just so there's no singling others out, I'm not going to say what I'm looking for. As of right now there's no limit to how many I'm choosing or how many you can post. So if you like more than one, feel free to post them too.

And don't worry if a couple you like is already posted. Post them again anyway.

As for my own personal favorites? I'm going to be a teeny tiny eensy weensy bit biased on some of these haha.

Kiona: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... ona/3.html
Achak: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... k/680.html
Why I like them: First couple of their kind. Achak, after years of hating and resenting dogs develops a love for one as tamleless as himself.

Kiona: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... ona/3.html
Aya: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... i/693.html
Why I like them: Well, they're not official, but it's very weird for Kiona to be so patient with one to timid.

Fritz: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 18944.html
Pixie: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 27963.html
Why I like them: The fact that they're adults and they flirt? People always forget about the flirting, unless it's from hypersexual characters, which I find incredibly annoying.

Togo: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 18941.html
Tanta: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 28362.html
Why I like them: Teamshipping for the win!

Sadie: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... e/146.html
Winter: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... r/155.html
Why I like them: Winter was the only one to see Sadie without disappointed eyes, I think it's really sweet, especially when she can find love again after not being able to be with Summer.

Aylen: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 41235.html
Hima: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 41400.html
Why I like them: I don't know alot about them, but I do know they're cute and they seem to play off each other really well.

Taku: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 25547.html
Aleu: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... u/178.html
Why I like them: A character able to turn Aleu into a mature character? That's something special right there hahaha.

Here's mines:

Dinae: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 35798.html
Dara:
http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 37658.html

I like them because these two were made ??for each other! they will have a small fights like any couple, but they're almost perfect.As well. They, both, are currently the main characters of stories i'm writing and about to write, and they are my favorites.


Dinae is mine
Dara (C) Artic Wolf (but idea by me)

I had nooo idea this was happening until I saw your post on the shout box, but I'm super excited that Aylen and Hima are on here!

This has gotten me curious XD The character Karok and Kaleboo I know they're aren't a couple but I would love to see them drawn as one even if its just a cute doodle.

Karok: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /9165.html
Kaleboo: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /3824.html

Why I would like them done: Hmm guess I just think they would be beautiful together. I know there is no chance of them getting together but I am curious on how they would look in a couple doodle xD

There is also these two

Drake: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 12302.html
Nirvana: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 22318.html

Why I would like them done: I find that these two look rather adorable together.

Are allowed only Balto couples? xD 'cause I have one or two from other sources that I think deserve some attention.

Leonida: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/Leonida/3094.html
Rachel: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/Rachel/7589.html
Why I would like them done: they're really my personal favourite couple between my characters and probably the first one I've ever made. Leonida, despita the fact of already having a mate and following the "old family rules" (faithful to your mate, find a girl, make a family) fell for this purebreed who was coming right through the fighting world but wasn't a monster. He tried to deny his feelings for her, because he didn't want to betray his mate but after almost loosing her (she nearly died and disappeared for many months and he went into depression), Leonida was able to face the truth and Rachel was there for him.

How awesome is it that you're giving Togo and Fritz more time with their girls? I am totally ferklemped here or something! lol

I need to look at my couples again. I thank this topic for reminding me!

Irina: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /5188.html
Cognac: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /5369.html
Why I like them: A husky and a coyote is not a common couple, but unusual circumstances, coincidences, and a rescue mission after a terrifying disaster would give them something to bond over. I do like how their tale combines the idea of six degrees of separation, but boils it down to just one.

Dusty and Ralph
Why? It's one of three official Balto couples, still seems to be denied by many people, even after movie director proved their relationship official. Something from such popular artist like you could bring them some more fans xD

I've been waiting for something like this Cat! I have my favourite couple of my characters that are here on Balto Source.

Sam: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/Sam/40207.html
Aleu: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/Aleu/38744.html

Why I want them done in your picture- I've always liked these two characters as a couple. Even though at first Sam was originally to be paired up with a wolf named Sophie (Kayla775's character), who he'd had a secret crush on from being small, he'd just never had the guts to tell her. He and Sophie spent a great deal of time together, and then Aleu was introduced into the pack when they were young teens. Sam's heart leapt when his eyes met hers, but he ignored these feelings and continued having a crush on Sophie. He got to know Aleu more and he soon realised what these feelings were. In the heat of the moment he kissed her, and a small wolf witnessed the moment and told the rest of the pack. Luke (one of Aleu's admirers) fled because he loved her, and Sam fled because he couldn't stand the pressure and judgement. With dignity, he returned after the pack were sent on a rescue mission to find the two boys, this time Sam didn't regret anything at all, and became more confident and decided that he was going to declare his feelings for Aleu. It means that love can be difficult at times, and things don't always work out, but love isn't something you should run away from, but run back too. And even though there was a great deal of pressure, Sam decided to do what was right.

Sorry for the long description. I'd really appreciate if you accept them! Thanks Cat. Also, are you going to put Balto & Jenna in there? I think they'd be fantastic in there. Just as a suggestion, you might have already planned to include them.

Alrighty gonna finally contribute to this thing

Rose-Red: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... ed/24.html
Dakota: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... ta/11.html
Reason: AHHH I almost feel like I've been waiting forever for these guys to happen, and I don't think they will but I want them to soo bad. XD I love how Dakota, despite his confidence and everything, helps her overcomes her reservedness a bit. I always kind of hoped she'd help him get better with getting closer to other dogs, but it probably wouldn't happen due to her own shyness. XD They've been one of my favorite pairings on Baltosource for a loong time. XD

Aylen: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 41235.html
Hima: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 41235.html
Reason- Hima has always been stuck in a rather awkward and confusing lifestyle to begin with -- she's constantly mistaken for a male dog, she has feelings for females, and many female dogs tend to find her cute, not knowing that she actually is a female herself. I love this character because despite her popularity, she remains very humble and quite introverted, to the point where she's mistaken for a mute sometimes. She often simply observes from afar, not trying to get involved with any drama or gossip. She isn't sure of who she truly is, and what her orientation is, but she definitely knows she loves Aylen. Aylen on the other hand, while also somewhat introverted, opened up a lot more after her relationship with Saomik, but closed up again once it was over. In her relationship with Saomik, she seemed to lean on the chinook hybrid a lot. However, with the help of Hima she grows to be a lot more independent and to stand up for herself, as opposed to being pushed around by other dogs such as Gunner, Steele's son. Aylen helps Hima to be more talkative, and to have more confidence. She helps the wolfdog loosen up, and do funner things such as playing as opposed to simply observing and working all the time. Aylen also helps Hima accept her homosexuality, and to not be ashamed.

Candle: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/Candle/2883.html
Rheta: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /4371.html
Reason: Candle was always a character I adored, she has such a spunky, fun personality, too. Her story with Ren made me feel terrible for her, and Rheta's story with Shasta made me feel the same. They're both really relatable characters to me, and I think they work very well together. Their partnership wasn't a stupid, sudden twist in their stories either, because they were aquatinted beforehand, and it seemed like a nice story that worked out smoothly for the both of them. I could see Candle helping Rheta calm down more with her outbreaks, and even just being a person there for Rheta to vent to. And i adore the concept of them being best friends, because I can see Candle being the friend that will get them into all sorts of little mishaps and fun adventures, while Rheta is more of the type to try to hold her back, but fail. XD They're pretty darn adorable to me, and they look really cute together too.

long reasons.. but yes. XD You also said you didn't know much about Aylen and Hima so I wanted to help you learn more about them. XD

Trust me, I've tried many times LOL

http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... display=30



I may add them in there! But I'm seeing alot of wolf/wolf couples, I may have to make a separate one just for them hahaha

I'll throw my characters out there for giggles

Marlee: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 40240.html
Chinook: http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... 40213.html

Why I like them: They are realistic to a T and look very similar. It's like they were meant to be

No probs Cat. And yeah, Lol.

Man, I'd love to see Boomer and Marie be featured. I love their dynamic, they seem like the kind of couple that don't need to speak much to have a great relationship. Though I can easily imagine Marie being chatty while Boomer is just content to listen. Plus, they're very well-designed characters and Silence of Two is one of my favorite fics on here =D

Also gotta add Fade and Jenna because oh my god it's the most adorable couple I've seen in a while. They both bring out the best in each other and the alternate universe Cat thought up for them is really creative. Not to mention their pups are adorable :3
