Description Hee, the second is up! This was the other character that appeared in my mind when I was busy thinking it over

Meet Adella! She's an IG (ya knew I was going to stick one in somewhere, right? ). She's still pretty young and often comes across as kinda ditzy, but she's surprisingly level-headed when she needs to be. Peaches saw this in her after seeing her show in the Puppy Class, and after she and her family moved in next door was only too happy to invite her on board. Though Della's pretty easy-going, she shares Peaches' annoyance of the stigma attached to being labelled a Toy breed, as she lives with Fred, the 'family dog', a hulking great Labrador who's been poking derisive fun at her since she joined the family as a pup.

Apologies if I offended anyone. But hey, get a backbone. I've spent too long seeing Toys - and other dog groups and types - denounced and treated derisively by the media, while goldens and labs and such are placed in a sort of golden halo of can-do-no-wrong-ness. I swear they're the Mary Sues of the dog world. X_o;

EDIT: changed some of her profile information.. apologies for any inconvenience

This is great! You should do a pug. I think he'd fit in nicely. Or a french bulldog.

AWE lol- Gallagher is a 'mary sue' lol hehehe he's going to take great offense to that but don't worry- I agree with that point of view (even though I adore goldens) People put breeds like them on a pedastol and don't even consider other breeds.. sad, but true. Sometimes I wish goldens weren't so popular x.x LOL

Adella is absolutely ADORABLE!!! She's such an absolute sweet heart ^_^

Mrah I must find out more about this whole story-line thing O_O more characters!! The facial expressions are so precious. I especially love the one on the top right

Eh.. I don't dislike retrievers. But I thought it might be interesting to have a 'bad guy' as one for a change Thank you for understanding, I was afraid I was going to get backlash because of the nature of Fred's character and the popularity of Goldens and such. It's good to know someone can see why I do things and not be blinded by their 'fandom'

Don't count on it, it's not quite finished putting itself together yet. But there will be more to come

SHe's such a great addition and of couuurrsee you'd have an IG, since you have that whole sighthound obsession [kinda like I do with my spitz-types xD] She's very cute - I love her showname

swift-whippet In reply to inu-aku-kitsune [2005-09-14 22:29:47 +0000 UTC]

Heh, making up shownames is the funnest part of the whole business! xDD It's half the reason I got onto FP.

Thankee!

Cute character! Very nice, I like the colors...
Yeah, sometimes little dogs are stereotyped alot.
Even though I'm more of a big-dog person, and the little Maltese and Yorkie we babysit yap endlessly, often little dogs are judged by uneducated people who oughn't stick their nose in where it doesnt belong. xD

swift-whippet In reply to Wolfrun [2005-09-14 22:28:38 +0000 UTC]

Too true. *stabs uneducated people* I figured the dog stereotyping has been around for so long people don't even realise they are.. which is even more reason to break 'em down

Thank youu!

omgosh, so cute ^^. I was wondering if you'd like to do an art trade or something because i've tried to draw my character Hodgy who's a silky terrier but i can't seem to get the head and body and fur porportions right. Can you help me with this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

swift-whippet In reply to Streaky [2005-09-14 16:57:48 +0000 UTC]

I'm currently not accepting any more arttrades as I've just started college and I'm guessing I'll have a lot on my plate in coming weeks, sorry.

The best advice I can give you is check out real-life refs of Silkys and draw from those - there's nothing like going back to basics. If it's proportions you're having trouble with, basic shapes are always helpful. If you have any samples of artwork you've done of Hodgy already, I'd be happy to tell you what I think

OpalSkye [2005-09-14 14:50:14 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I want a Pom. Ma (and Pa) have always had Rottweillers, and while I love Kaycie, and the Rottie breed, they get bad press too. Labs and Goldens are nancy imo. There are too many of them, that darned "Andrex" Puppy....Sure they are cute, but yano...originality anyone?

I want a Della too...shes uberness. She sounds like me!

Great job Swift! And yay for apparitions.

The colors go perfect together and she looks like she'd fit her personality Very pretty name to Nice job!!
