Description This is a gift I made for one of my favorite authors, Mark Tufo.  It is a portrait of his 2 dogs (who also happen to be in some of his books.)  If you like zombies, or horror literature in general  I seriously suggest you check out Mark Tufo's books.  I stumbled across Zombie Fallout one day while it was on sale on Amazon and it is like the best dollar I ever spent.  I finished it in 2 days, and after that I read though them all as fast as I could get my hands on them, then the Lycan Fallouts and am currently going through the Indian Hill series while eagerly awaiting ZF#8.  So I guess you could say I'm hooked, lol. 

This was a bit of a learning for me since I've never painted a wrinkly breed like this, also I usually paint things with longer fur.   Anyway, I emailed him a copy and Mr. Tufo liked it, so I am very happy about that.

Painted in SAI and  Gimp 2.6

You did a very nice job. Wrinkles are hard and bulldogs have a lot of them!  plus, of course, the blocky heads and weird overbites. Such funny dogs.

Thank you very much.  They were definitely different to paint than the stuff I am used to, but I love their smooshed, funny little wrinkly faces too.

This is truly adorable! The lighter colored, top bulldog look almost identical to my bulldog I owned a few years ago, named Tonka. Unfortunately, he passed away 7 years ago and he was definitely one of the sweetest and most wonderful dogs I ever had.
