Description
0.5 mechanical pencil on light-weight paper.

Just in a Minerva-type mood.

I actually drew this MONTHS ago, but what with the scanner out of commission and my own commissions going on, I didn't have much of a chance to post it.

Anyway, more of Minerva! Only this time, she made a friend. I dunno why, but I just thought it'd be cute to draw her with a dog. While out running errands one day, a huge white dog comes over to say "hello there", and then follows her home. Random, I know.

This particular dog is a Dogo Argentino, a breed specifically made for hunting wild boars. I was watching The Science of Dogs on the NatGeo a while ago, and these dogs were described as man-made machines, and it reminded me of Min. In a way, she is the same: Artificially created to obey anything asked of her with no regards to her own safety, existing only to do a handler's bidding. They seem to fit together.

Now, yes the story takes place a good hundred years in our future, and we depict that any and all fauna that live with us will be fake, just like in Blade Runner. However, and this is just a thought, what if some pets had gone into the wild and prospered there, then one day just randomly decided to follow someone home? Just a thought.

Now then, credit where credit is due.
Honestly, I can't draw dogs for SHIT, especially the paws. After doing some research for the dogo doggie, I needed some references for the paws. Google isn't as helpful as you'd think. =w= So, I went to one of the greatest artists we have on DA: Her art is amazing, and I always envied how she drew animals. Not that it matters much now, of course, but I still like to give credit to those who inspire me, no matter HOW much they dislike me now. In closing, I love her animal paws, and I thank her for her referencial help.

Please do not copy or trace without crediting. Thank you.
