Valitar and Marijar chilling together after body switch incident. Didn’t draw them for a while.

I have no idea what to draw. I’m dead and empty inside, totally done and out of inspiration. Because reasons. So when I look inside myself I see only... something like this. Valitar and Marijar in childhood, younger is 6 y.o., elder is 13. One loves his brother and desperately wants some emotional response, the other is all inside himself, his multiple complexes and sociophobia. No connection to Khala yet (in my universe little protoss are capable to enter the great unity only when they’re around 40 - before it is not only too difficult due to insufficient length of nerve cords, but simply dangerous to their unformed personality), and therefore no understanding between these two. A little family drama.

Valitar: Breathtaking Feats

The show Valitar was a dramatic display of the person and horse relationship that has been developing over thousands of years. Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana, created the show, which debuted in San Diego, California in November of 2012. Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana, spent several years planning and developing their dream to make a show worthy of being the pioneer for this person-horse connection before finally implementing it into reality. The show featured a cast of expert and expert riders with performers from all over the globe. Not only did the riders have to be talented acrobats, but they also had to be talented riders. Being able to do both is in the expert realm is something else entirely.

Valitar was the dream of Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana. They recruited some of the best acrobats and show horses in the show business industry and put them together to create dazzling feats of stunts. The show itself was directed by Sylvia Zebrini, who was able to turn Mark Remley’s vision into an incredible display of grace, power, and speed. With plans to take Valitar to audiences around the country, Mark Remley was amazed at the abilities of both horse and rider. The show itself has been compared to the popular acrobatic performance called Cirque du Soleil, except, of course, on horseback.

During the spectacle that is Valitar, the expert riders have to maintain a high level of physical strength. Guiding the horse through each act while performing tricks themselves, requires frequent and rigorous training on the part of the rider. In addition to the riders, the horses had to be in top physical condition and extremely healthy.

Valitar: An Equestrian Spectacle

Valitar was a one of a kind equestrian spectacle that played in San Diego, California beginning in November of 2012. The show was a unique blend of horse and human performance that dazzled audiences with its acrobatics and equine routines.

Valitar featured one of the most renowned trapeze artists in the world, an athlete and performer named Kimberly Souren. During the course of her career, Kimberly Souren toured across Europe and gained recognition for her daring and athletic performances.

Kimberly Souren said she was ecstatic about the opportunity to perform in Valitar, and partner with producer Mark Remley and director Sylvia Zerbini. Working with horses was a challenge Kimberly Souren had not yet taken, which made the opportunity all the more attractive to her. Once she signed on she was eager to start perfecting new stunts for Valitar.

During rehearsals for Valitar, Kimberly Souren says she would focus on her breathing. This is an effective technique for decreasing any stress and pressure she might feel by taking on something new and daring. In this manner she is able to focus on her body and on successfully executing each routine.

She also strives to stay in the moment. Kimberly Souren said that is preparing for Valitar, staying in the moment and focusing on the now helped her perfect her routines. "If I started thinking ahead about the next move, the next routine," she explained, "I would have the urge to panic, which completely ruins my focus." One step at a time, one moment at a time is her secret to perfecting the stunning moves she learned for Valitar.
