Description Second batch of dogbreed icons up, whee yay. this time it's the ever-beloved Herding Group. ^^

I put in breednames this time because people kept guessing and asking if they were right on the last one. These aren't random breed sheets and all the breeds are very easy to find by going to the AKC website and clicking on the group du jour (or for that matter by clicking the link that takes you to the icons xD). and I know I said only AKC-registered breeds, but I couldn't not put in the Laekenois. The Belgian Shepherds are like.. an inseparable quartet. or something. o.o;

-LOL at you marrying the Herding Group- xD

I'm so glad you like! And yes, the Tibetan Mastiff is now a Working dog and the Plott is officially a Hound. I saw them when I went to check out the groups :3 they're slowly getting the FSS breeds integrated into the AKC culture club, even though it's taking a while I plan to do all the FSS breeds as well too though that will take forever and a day =_=; ah well. DOGGIES.

YES YOU SHOULD :3 I've been enjoying seeing you try different breeds with the FP image bank pictures, and it's a real test of canine skillz to try and draw all these breeds and make them look like themselves (not that I'm complaining). It's like... one of those trials by fire that warriors have to pass to prove their manhood. or something. except for dog artists. o_O

totally. <3 and then the FSS breeds. I have my work cut out for me, I know xD
I should probably provide links to the icons on MG or something

*SCREAMS AT CORGIS!!!!*

I love the herding group! I love the earthy tones in this, it's perfect for doggies that work around livestock, and uh...hay-stacks.

swift-whippet In reply to itsbetsy [2007-02-02 03:51:03 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks! Yes, corgis are awesome indeed.
LOL :3 I actually have the earthy tone going for the background of all the doggie headshots - it's just nicer on the eyes than pure white and neutral enough to not mess with the colours of the doggies xD

kaasha In reply to ??? [2007-02-01 13:14:09 +0000 UTC]

The full view only loads partway for me too. I tried it on one computer and then kept it marked as unread so I could try it on another later. But it doesn't load completely on this computer.
Judging from the comments it's not just me. Can anyone see the whole fullview image?

Do you have this uploaded anywhere else that we could have a look at and see those other 8 doggies?

swift-whippet In reply to kaasha [2007-02-01 14:26:23 +0000 UTC]

Aaargh, stupid dA >( It won't even load fully for me. I thought it'd clear up if I left it for a while - that usually works - but it doesn't seem to be, though apparently some people can see the whole thing. I'll reupload it, maybe that will fix it

In the meantime.. I suppose there are the icons?

Herding group ftw! Even though I too currently see the 'x', the thumbnail/1 sec glimpse of the pic looked awesome. Nice little project you have going here. I'll have to check back on this page to view it when DA stops messing up.

The color splotches on the Aussie Shepherd are AWESOME but that Aussie Cattle dog is SO CUTE! <33 I love it! *wants to bring it home as a pet*

Just out of curiosity, when is the working group comming?

Oh, before I forget I love this <33

LOL xD

I'm torn between the Sporting and Working groups for next D: I'm really not sure which way I should go. Maybe I should do working then sporting then non-sporting. Yes, in my silly little mind that makes sense. o_O;

Dimintri In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-01 22:23:11 +0000 UTC]

hehe I think working, sporting, then non sporting but thats just my idea, actually... If you hadn't already started I would have suggested you go in order that they show ah well HAHA I make less sense than you!

swift-whippet In reply to Dimintri [2007-02-02 00:42:52 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I figured it out.. I'm doing Sporting first, then Working, then Non-Sporting (since Working and Herding seem to be the most popular groups at least among artists, and I want to spread them out a bit). Sorry for making you wait! D: but then again, the Hounds are my favourites and I'm leaving them for last, so. x:

Dimintri In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-02 01:11:53 +0000 UTC]

lol I don't mind, how you portray each breed is pleaing no matter what order they're done in.

I can't wait to see the Gordon Setter <33 they're my fave from the Sporting group!

And obviously I'm waiting for the dobe in Working<33

Briards are so greeeaaat. (as are cardigans but Briards don't get drawn as much ) they're like.. overgrown Skye Terriers xD

exactly. I got to work with a show briard last year, she was a bit snotty, but then her owner was an obsessive show person.. worse than most. but she loved her dogs, so oh well! lol
