Description Long-overdue art trade with the wonderful *kettish ! She drew a beautiful picture of Asp and Beez for me. :3 I got to draw her dogs, Callie the corgi and Maddie the pit bull, and a lot of fun they were too. I enjoyed trying this angle too, I'm going to try and play more with angles and perspective with characters.

Hope you enjoy this, Ketty!

and yes, school is over for me at last, so yay more time for me-arts!

I love the perspective on this picture! ^^ It's a nice touch. I like the shading on the dogs too and you managed to capture the eyes of the pit bull well, eyes in that pose are often hard to draw. >_< Nice job! =3

And I love that expression on the pitt. A little bit lighter colored and it would look almost like my boxer when she's in a begging mood (...which is always).

I actually have a pit character that nobody knows about, Pal. Perhaps I should draw him more.

BlauShepherd In reply to swift-whippet [2008-05-14 01:22:48 +0000 UTC]

nah, I don't think it'd be good to own one now. I wouldn't be able to trust my family with it [I just know my dad'll walk it off leash, and pits are sweet, but that's just setting them up for failure]... plus jayda wouldn't do very well with a dog aggressive breed.

I'm stickin' with shepherds for now.

DA is being stupid today. I tried to click on your image to view it full sized and it gave me a blank space and my browser said "Done".

Anyway, from what I saw it was really well done! And I do like the perspective. Spot on! *drops cookies for the doggies*

XD EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *girlish squeel*

My doggies!!!

I miss my Maddie but she went to a good home! And I just got back this minute from going hiking with my Callie and my friends who have a Sheltie and a Mini Aussie, so it was parade of the small dogs! Callie was swimming around in the creek, Tony (the Mini Aussie) was too scared to cross the log-bridge, and George danced all over.

*huggles Swift* I love you so much for this!!! And while Maddie's markings are just a little too dark (which I provided no ref for and are therefore at fault X3) you got Callie's EXACTLY RIGHT. XD

*tries desperately to contain the squeeling*

8D Seriously. I love you. *sets to desktop background*

awwwww thank you so much! I was hoping that this would live up to your picture that you did for me somehow so I am thrilled that you love it so.

Parade of the small herders, you mean! That hiking trip must have been made of awesome. Do you still get to see Maddie?

kettish In reply to swift-whippet [2008-05-14 01:19:32 +0000 UTC]

No, it's always best to just let the dog get on with their lives and not cause any confusion. *chortles*

And yes! It was awesome. George just liked prancing around and running forward to get some sticks (including a few overlarge ones that proved his mighty love of sticks). Tony enjoyed running back and forth and rough-and-tumbling with Callie. And Callie did a little bit of both, depending on which dog she was closest to. And Callie LOVES being in water! If I didn't know better I'd swear she was part retriever. And quite frankly, I'd be okay with it if she were, I just love her personality!

Then I took her to get groomed 'cause the lake and creek water was muddy and there were massive amounts of ticks out. D8 But it's ok, she only had one on her. I had three on me. *scowls* And she was the one crashing around through the underbrush like some sort of midget bigfoot's dog!

Anywho, it was awesome. And it did! It's the first ever fanart I've gotten for Callie. And she's sooo adorable here! Plus, it's really good to remember Maddie again.

swift-whippet In reply to kettish [2008-05-14 01:43:08 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the dog, doesn't it? I've heard of previous owners visiting dogs after they've settled in somewhere else, 'settled in' being the keywords. Not all dogs get confused by seeing the other person again. Still, it's great she found a good place.

MIDGET BIGFOOT'S DOG. omg I laughed. xD But yeah that does sound like a lot of fun!

Hee, it's just 'art' dear, not 'fanart'. 'Fanart' would imply that I was so enamoured with your dog that I drew her without you asking me to. x3 But I am so glad you like!

And that may be, but honestly, I don't know where she went. X3 I mean, I do, but I don't think it matters that much.

Very beautiful drawing, that looks like a challenging angle to draw from!. I'm actually pleased that you drew a pitbull in a positive way, so many people think of them as vicious wild monsters, when in fact they can be sweet loving friends and companions. (we used to have two of them, one was brendall, and the other was white, they were the nicest dogs on earth) Anywho, sorry for my rambling. I love the little corgy as well!

Thank you, it was and it took me several tries to get it to look right. o.x Well the pitbull belonged to Ketty and she told me that Maddie was the sweetest girl, I couldn't possibly draw her mauling a child now could I? xD

Thanks very much for stopping by, once more!
