Description And here's another FP commission, whee.

Japanese Chins are love because fluff is an enjoyable subject. I had a heck of a time finding a ref for the Azores Cattle Dog (and the ones I did manage to find of the whole dog were pretty blurry and eww), and I hope I managed to stay true enough to it for him to pass as one o.O And GOLDEN. Such a classic breed that I never really -tried- drawing from a ref until now, yay. (Methinks Aluinn will be proud of me ) I had a lot of fun with these and I'm happy with how all of them came out pretty much Hiatuses are good for me, yes they are.

I adore drawing dogs and YOU CAN'T STOP ME. BWAHA.

EDIT: Fixed the Azores' ears because I realised I'd gotten 'em wrong and they're supposed to be rounded like a hyena's. >.< whoops.

If I didn't draw this for you, I don't want to see you using it :[

I swear, you can draw ANY breed perfectly xD They all look so cartoony, yet totally realistic!!

Me reality friend has a golden, so I must show her this Its expression is beyond adorable :heart heart:

I don't know why, but the red-colored chin makes me giggle. She (he?) looks so...so... xD I don't know, but she looks very regal in that pose!! ^^

I've never seen that Azorez cattle dog before, very interesting breed I can see! He reminds me of a great dane in a way... Very adorable ^^

I'll shuddup now. But then, I haven't commented on your art in ages ;_; I shall go see your other stoof tha tI missed!

Arrrh, you're back! *smother* I must go and peruse your gallery as well, I watch so many people that my watchbox fills up really quickly and I get lazy with commentings and miss quite a few pics D:

The red Chin was meant to be a she, yes xD And thank you, I love how she came out particularly. The b/w male was reffed and I'm not entirely satisfied with him to be honest :[ And I hadn't heard of the Azores either! It's nice to be able to learn about new breeds by people requesting for them

OkapiCrazed In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-13 21:58:43 +0000 UTC]

-never checks her watchbox much anymore- D: I know what you mean, I just finished with deleting over 2,000 deviation notices x__x

I quite like the black and white one, actually, although a ref may have helped a little x3 But I agree, some of the more "unknown" breeds are actually really interesting to draw! ^^

swift-whippet In reply to OkapiCrazed [2006-01-13 22:00:18 +0000 UTC]

Interestingly enough, the b/w one was reffed, whereas the red was done without x3 And I love drawing breeds I don't normally do - I only recently got into it but I'm loveing seeing how they come out

-can't read- Dx Sorry!!! But yes, I do believe you can draw any breed that crosses your path! I adore your sighthounds, but as I see all the different dogs that you've drawen, it's easy to see your talent for drawing canines =3

So pretty; they are all exceptional! Each expression, pose, everything is perfect! I love how each personality is so radiant. You'll always leave me in awe with how supurbly you capture the look of a breed of dog and their anatomy. Wonderful job once again, this is very good! ^____^

I noticed your note at the bottom asking not to use it if it's not mine. Have you been having trouble with art theft?

swift-whippet In reply to Trounced [2006-01-10 21:45:04 +0000 UTC]

Awr, thankies hun I owe it to mucho practice.

No, actually, funnily enough I've never had art stolen that I've known about, which is something I've always been grateful for. But I know that where pet sims like FP and Neopets and the like are concerned, there will be some jokers who will take a piece of art and use it for their own, so yeah. Just in case

Trounced In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-10 22:34:27 +0000 UTC]

Ah, taking extra precautions! I understand. Well, I'm relieved to hear that your art has always been respected!
Keep up the practice, or what ever you're doing, because it's so great.

*glee* Your chins are love. especially the black one. *giggles* Beautiful fun-loving golden. =] Sadly, most of the goldens I see are grossly overweight and never groomed. Thank you for the reminder of why I loved the breed. *hugs*

Warzol In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-10 04:39:36 +0000 UTC]

I know that silly, just saying the different kinds. Meaning color and sizes. Not breeds. Though there were 2 different ones. One was in the same kind of breed.

swift-whippet In reply to Warzol [2006-01-10 13:20:44 +0000 UTC]

What are you talking about colour and sizes? There's only one size. You'll need to be a bit more clear with what you mean if you don't want me to read you wrongly

Warzol In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-10 19:34:08 +0000 UTC]

And nooo not only one size silly. xp

swift-whippet In reply to Warzol [2006-01-10 19:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Okay.. I have NO idea what in the heck you're talking about. You tell me your mum likes this dog "second right, top" which I assume to mean the Chin. So I say, I drew two of those dogs, see the black one down there.. and then I don't know WHAT you say in reply.

And Japanese Chins only do come in one size, although more than one colour. T_-

Warzol In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-10 20:18:20 +0000 UTC]

LoL!! Sorry if I'm confusing you. It's hard to remember what I commented about. So yeah sorry, yes she likes those types of dogs. I know those Japanese Chins come in one size silly, I was talking about all dogs in general. Silly...

Ah, see. Of course I'm not so dumb as to think all dogs are the same size, what sort of a dognerd would I be then? Well, lucky we got that sorted out.. though try to be more clear next time xD *is easily confused*

If you love Goldens, go check out ~aluinn . She's given me quite a healthy respect for them

Aw, thanks! That means a lot to me, really.. I worked pretty hard to break away from the Disney/ADGTH style dogs that I used to draw xD

That last remark was directed at all the people who have ever glanced through my sketchbook and gone "Why do you draw so many dogs/animals??!!" as if it's some abnormal hobby that's adopted only by weirdos with nothing better to do with their time. Because we all know that REAL artists ONLY draw humans and inanimate objects. Rarr. :[ But thanks so much for the support
