Description
Whee, new character for RP-ing on Oak Hills!EDIT: Oak Hills is now Mushroom Grove. go check it out!
This is Nellie the Pomgirl. She is the full litter-sister of one of my other characters and if you have been watching me for a bit you should be able to guess who said character is quite easily

... easygoing, sweet and playful about says it all.
She is so cute. I think you did her fur and her eyes really well.
I love the background of the picture as well.
Great job!

Read the description. I named her after the singer, Nellie Melba, since her show name is Gingernut's Peach Melba and that dessert was named after Nellie Melba.
Nellie is also my grandmother's name. I didn't just pull it out of a hat.
It is a pretty name, though and yes dogs are nice indeed. thank you.

lawl, she is so sexy I think though, her colour should be a biiiit different then Peach's, just so they don't look identical (if it already is, maybe a bit more? xD a bit more tan or light, or gray, but still in the peachyspectrum) because currently they look verymuchalike, cept the collar
otherwise she is cool, obviously, being a pomeranian ;D and I LOVELOVELOVE your shading! x-x soawesome...

She's actually lighter and more pink than Peaches, if you put them side by side o.o Also the way her fur falls is different and she doesn't have the puffy topknot that Peachy does.
thanks so much hun. She'll probably come into her own the more I draw her

I've gotta say, I absolutely love your Pomeranian characters. A friend of mine has several Poms, and you capture their feisty little personalities so well. Her name is also very creative. I agree with your above comment, it's a great feeling when you think of that perfect name that just "fits" that character.

thank you, Nocturne!

Naming is a very important business to me, and whenever I've found a name that just sings in perfect harmony with its character, it's one of the greatest feelings. simple pleasures
Thank you!~
I hope she turns out to be a success

I love her pose, and her name, too^^ Your Pom characters are all so sweet (no pun intended ) and the anatomy looks great...which is hard to get right on such a a fluffy-type pup.

I love how you draw pomeranians. They're so.. fluffy, bouncy, and cute. XD I grew up around pomeranians for a while (my mother used to breed them), and you definitely capture them quite well! You should try drawing a puppy version of a pomeranian (or have you already?). They look like little bears.

Fweee, awesome! I love how you've made all three of them (Peaches, Cream, and now Nellie) so similar, and yet so different! Cream's distinct fur, Peaches' superfluff and topknot, and Nellie's little tuft (and her eyes are different from Peaches, too, VERY well done).
I just wanna dig my fingers in and give her a scritch in that cheek fluff. =]

Aww, thank you! I've been recently redoubling my efforts to make my characters have distinctive looks despite their being the same breed, it's something I need to work on. It's easier with Poms because you can just vary fur texture, but you can't do that with whippets. hmm.
I'm just going to submit her profile. Maybe we can get a little RP going with her and Mocha, since she's an uptown dog too (and named after a dessert no less! matter of fact all the Gingernut Poms are named after desserts, but all that is classified info
).

I was actually gonna send you a note *shakefist at DA for timing out..like...seven times in a row* to ask if I should start Mocha somewhere else, give Reina some breathing room. =]
And I love the dessert thing, that's awesome. <3 And the word "Gingernut" which is just as adorable as the poms.

Yeah, Reina is busy with work and such these days, she told me (hasn't replied to our thread in weeks, either). Let's have a high class dog society tea party in the uptown homes! or something
Oh, I have a whole thing going with those Poms, you have no idea xD The kennel lines all trace back to the magnificent sire, Ch. (something or other I can't recall but I wrote it down) Ginger Nut, and all his descendants have been named with that prefix. and after desserts. yay. just because they're fun. I love naming things. :3

WhiskerWing In reply to swift-whippet [2006-11-03 20:59:40 +0000 UTC]
Fwee, that's awesome! I spent like....two hours coming up with Mocha's call name (and those of her parents). XD I am not very good at naming things. *grins* Thesaurus.com is my friend!
And good for Reina, real life should -always- come first. =] I'm glad to hear she's okay.
Should I put a capper on the thread I had going with her, something to finish it off so it doesn't seem to dangle off into space? That way she's able to start fresh when she can come back, and doesn't have to worry about where Reina was last and what's going on there?

Names are fun to come up with. They can be hard to find but once you hit on the right one it's such a satisfying feeling yay for thesauri!
I was talking to Reina and asked her about it and she says it's alright, whatever you feel like doing. xD

WhiskerWing In reply to swift-whippet [2006-11-04 01:56:06 +0000 UTC]
=] Fair enough. I'll leave it open another week or so, and if she feels up to coming back to it she can, otherwise no hard feelings and I'll cap it just so everyone knows it's closed.
And you're absolutely right on how it feels to peg a name! I never thought of it like that, but it's true!

Peaches's show name is Ch. Gingernut's Peaches N' Pie. She is indeed Nellie's littersister. Their litter was threefold and called the Peach Litter since they were all that orange colour. Cream's litter (sired by the same dad) was the same size and called the Cream Litter, again for colouring. I plan to eventually develop the other siblings (all boys, too. make for a change
)
