For those of you who follow my sketchblog, you've already been introduced to this little lady: straystudios.tumblr.com/post/6…

This is Jazz, my version of Charlie and Sasha's daughter (not sure if I'll add a son, later). She's kinda a WIP character, but the great thing about her is that she doesn't have a set story in mind, just a general bio and personality--in other words, there's no particular story or fanfic I plan to create with her in it, she's just kinda a character inserted into the ADGTH universe.
She's mostly modeled after Charlie from the first film (in both appearance and attitude), so she has big paws, big teeth and big, expressive eyes; the sequel was very pretty, but I liked the first movie's use of expressions and body/character exaggeration a lot more--I felt the characters were allowed to be characters more than being concerned with looking handsome/pretty all the time (Yes, I realize the 2 films were made years apart; yes, I realize they were made my different companies and therefore worked on by different animators; & yes, Don Bluth is one of the top kings of animation, so of course his expressions are going to be fantastic). Basically, Jazz is very cartoony.

Jazz is high-spirited like both of her parents, as well as cunning, sneaky and incredibly smart, however she is not outwardly headstrong nor is she stupid--she'll think long and hard about a plan before going through with it. She also has a conscious; she will trick and prank others, but she is never out to hurt anyone (unless you ask for it). By the time she's born, Charlie's long since given up the con-artist life, and even though Jazz has no interest in being a big-time crime boss or anything along though lines, her sneaky personality makes her parents worry that she'll follow too close in Charlie's pawprints and get tangled up with the wrong crowd (the last thing Charlie wants is for Jazz to book herself a one-way ticket to Heaven).

Still not sure on colors. I might make her more orange, like Sasha, since I already have plenty of brown/tan German Shepherd characters. The only thing I'm settled on is that she has green eyes and only one black cheek spot.

Jazz's name comes from her parents' different types of work in the showbiz/entertainment industry (Sasha's singing & Charlie's co-owned casino business); also for her jazzy personality (Bah-dum-tish!).
