Description Okay, so Furry-paws art IS all I seem to upload these days. blame school starting =_= Still, I try to make it quality ^^

Here we have part one of a series of four breed templates I'm working on for Emz. I've decided to make my pictures-with-backgrounds more detailed and colourful, so here we have one of such attempts. This one's a Norwegian Elkhound.

To be used by nobody else but the commissioner :[

I'm not an elkie exibitor but I always stick around to watch them on my show weekends
excellent eye for detail. As always you have mastered coat texture with your simple style. (I always have a problem in that area u_u; )
I have the hardest time getting colors to "flow" and your work speaks for itself @___@

Wow, that looks so fantastic that I thought it was a picture that you had taken at first. Then I looked more closely and saw that it's all the detail that you put in that made it look that way. This looks absolutely wonderful.

Only thing i see off on it is Norwegian Elkhounds have black tipped tails 'n the tails are a lil tighter curled n not quite as fluffy (My mom breeds/raises them.. I know too much ) looks good otherwise though! I've been working on a drawing of one n just for the life of me cannot get the coloring right on it! hehe.. their a really difficult breed to get the markings right on.. You did a great job!

Haha, really? Well, I used [link] from AKC.org for reference and the tail looked very fluffy indeed but hey, it's alright, I correct people's sighthound anatomy all the time thanks!
Don't get me started on the markings >.> eck.

hehe ah I see how ya got it now The elkies tails can curl either direction... that one just has his black tip curled to the opposite side (That also isnt a very good photo of an elkie to start with, your outcome was really good for what you had for a ref!! hehe)
Heres a couple photos to show you what I mean

'n yeah! hehe, when its your breed, you notice all the lil small things about them.. hehe, I really do like the drawing though I hope mine turns out as well as yours did for coloring... I've had the lineart done for a while now.. but omg the coloring is gonna kill me, haha...

Well, I definitely appreciate the input ^^ I can never seem to find good photos of lesser-known breeds like Elkies, even the ones you showed me were pretty small =_= eh well. Judging by the other work in your gallery I don't think you'd have that much of a problem ^^ certainly not more than I did!

Thank you
'n yeah its hard to find good ref photos for things like that.. I usually do Yahoo/Google image searches to see what comes up..

Aww, thanks Iddy ^^ It always means a lot when a breed fancier tells me they like how I represented a breed.

Everyone seems to be on sledzz now o.O
