Description
Colored version (copic markers) of Ciel and Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji (aka Black Butler) in canine form. I am really happy with the results (it's been a while since I submitted something that has turned out of similar quality). I chose the following breeds to represent Sebastian and Ciel:Ciel: Australian Cattle Dog
I chose the cattle dog because they are small herding breeds with lots of energy and a serious personality (like Ciel). They also come in a blue fur coloring and some have a characteristic mask that covers their face. . . like an eyepatch. I changed the fur coloration to better match Ciel's character although the basic markings are modeled after the cattle dog breed.
Sebastian: Black German Shepherd Dog
I chose the German shepherd dog for both personalty and physical appearance. They are agile strong dogs who are known for their loyalty and willingness to please their masters. The German shepherd is also a versatile breed that can preform any job from guarding to herding livestock to sniffing out narcotics/bombs. They are also intelligent and the black coloration fits Sebastian's character.

Thank you so much for writing this and for adding in what can be improved as well as what I am doing well! The backgrounds are one of my main weaknesses - I shall try to work on them next!

You're welcome and thank YOU for your great critique
I really enjoyed reading it so thanks for your time and effort. I totally agree with the improvements. I tend to get bored/tired of colouring and this can make me lazy. I really should add more fur tones and textures using the colouring pencils :S
Also - I have the same issue with backgrounds. For this reason I usually don't add any. What you said about the horizon line and the shading though is really helpful. Thanks!

OH.MY.GOD.
THIS IS AMAZING <3
I love this picture soooo much <3
Kuroshitsuji is the best anime, manga, and game in the history of anime, manga, and games!! I love how you drew them so well, and how you matched up their personalities and appearances with the breed of dog.
You are amazing.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the feedback! I am also honored to be able to impress people with my artwork, it really gives me inspiration to continue drawing and improving! I will be making more of these from Kuroshitsuji as well as other anime/manga series like Soul Eater. I love analyzing characters and matching them up with a dog breed, although I think I spend even more time choosing a breed than I do actually drawing!

You're welcome, it was no problem writing a comment! I love giving feedback because then I get feedback on my feedback.. xD If that makes sense. Basically I love knowing that I make people happy by reviewing.. xD
Yay! I think you draw very well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work~! In fact, I'm going to go look at more of your artwork right now ^^
Soul Eater is awesome, my friends are obsessed with it~

This is my new favorite picture XD I love Kuroshitsuji, its one of the best manga series Ive read because the story and the art are both fantastic ^^
I love your art style ^^ Its the way i wish i could draw XD
What type of markers did you use? Because the color really pops, especially on Ciel XD
Would you mind if i did a cat picture, kinda like this? i would mention that this pic inspired it!
