HOUND GROUP YAY. and I am done finally! I know I said I was going to do the FSS breeds, but I think that will have to wait a while. This really was quite a task. x.x;

Of course, I needed some kind of impetus to keep me going through all the groups. xD
Rhodies are so gorgeous in a rugged sort of way. stunning dogs. The photo I used in particular as reference for the face markings was just awesome.
thanks!

Eep! There's my favorite doggy! Totally LOVIN' the sally. I need to get on a saluki drawing kick ASAP!
Actually I love all of these so so much! Hounds are totally my favorite of all the groups. ;0;

excuse my writing it's 11:30 PM here and I just came back from a party so I'm kind of silly in the head right now.

:3 yes I need to draw more of those dogs. they seem to be really popular as of right now! I've got plans to make a character of one, but no personalities as such are surfacing. x_x; YAY HOUNDS though.

thank you Mali. it's okay I read your journal! re-friended you on LJ too. :3

YOUR HOUNDS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
I love how all of your dogs, each and every breed, looks different and so individual. You're so good. How do you do it? You're AMAZING!

if you love something enough, you'll want to get it right. :3 lots of photos for reference really really help. and I just love the differences and variety between the dog breeds, it's why I love to draw them. I believe with enough practice and will, anyone can draw anything. :3
(not to mention, well, I've been drawing dogs since I was 10, and I'm now almost 22. I've had a lot of practice. xD)

thanks so much Kim!

I just have to comment on the Otterhound specifically, since nobody really seems to have heard of them - it's gorgeous! Looks just like one, beautiful job on the shaggyish fur and the kinda of dazed look, almost still like a big friendly giant... you perfectly captured it. ^__^

All of the other ones look really beautiful, too - I should really comment on your stuff more - I absolutely LOVE your style, it's absolutely adorable, but also realistic and with such great attention to detail - it's awesome!

swift-whippet In reply to iceiwynd [2008-03-08 17:46:22 +0000 UTC]

FWEE YES! I admit I hadn't taken much notice of them myself before I drew this, but eee they are so cute and shaggy and awesome. Part of the beauty of doing these was making me aware of how each breed is special in its own way.

even if you don't comment that much, the times that you do I really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so very much, it means a lot. <3

*spazzs* My favorite group, hooray! And you did an otterhound (my favorite breed) too! I'm also loving the deerhound and the wirehair dachshund.

Now I feel geared up to work on my hound project! :3

mine as well, I saved the best for last! xD And yes, I did every breed in the hound group currently registered with the AKC. :3 Thank you! That is also really cool that otterhounds are your favourite, you really hardly see them at all!

EEEE A HOUND PROJECT! what is this??

I know, they're nearly extinct! Where's all the love for the shaggy, water hound? ;_;

[link] I'm trying to draw all the hounds (AKC registered or not). If I miss any that you know of or think I put a non-hound on the list, please let me know. I got so confused by some of the rarer (French!) breeds...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAY!!! HOUNDS! I love them all The Scottish deerhound looks amazing. He's my favorite I will have to draw a deerhound in that style. He looks nice and smooth and not so bristly and eew like most deerhound images I've seen.

FWEEEE I AM THANKFUL FOR YOUR APPRECIATION OF THE WONDER THAT IS HOUND

[link] I loved reading their stories about their deerhounds!! I swear I love Scottish Deerhounds after being able to see one in real life - there's a family that owns one that lives near my school and omg I hadn't realised how huge they were. o_o They're more shaggy than bristly looking, and they're clearly more slender than Irish Wolfhounds. <333

Queen-of-Greyhounds In reply to swift-whippet [2008-03-08 03:51:30 +0000 UTC]

:3 There are quite a few people out in my area who breed them for hunting coyotes. They are indeed huge dogs I really really want one. o__o But that's means I'll have to buy a huge vehicle. Ugh. I might have to stick with smaller dogs.

Very nice work, as always! I love these icons so much. Congrats on finishing with the AKC breeds!

swift-whippet In reply to scrii [2008-03-08 17:25:54 +0000 UTC]

The Saluki here are actually possibly my favourite Saluki I've ever drawn. I'm actually working harder now on making each of the sighthounds look distinctive from each other, since back in the day my ploy was basically to make them all the same shape with different fur/ears/whatever and I realise that this became a habit with me. So even most of the sighthounds here were heavily referenced, and I'm quite proud of them really.

Glad you enjoy them Scriihun, thank you!

omg that is terrible. but at the same time I am vaguely amused that you decided to tell that story now. xD

Juicecup In reply to swift-whippet [2008-03-08 03:38:46 +0000 UTC]

It was when they came to visit my other aunt and uncle who lived on a farm and Haywood got loose and killed some geese and a calf. I remember being sad but at the same time surprised that he could take down a calf. But he got a swift kick in the pants by the mama cow so he didn't go unpunished.

swift-whippet In reply to Juicecup [2008-03-08 03:47:07 +0000 UTC]

Considering they were apparently used to hunt lions in Africa at some point, a calf ought to be much less of a problem.

Whoo-hoo, nice job, I really like the foxhound, harrier & beagle icons. The harrier reminds me of my Beagle mix, Sienna(1992-2004)

Did you use a pic of Uno the beagle as referance for the tricolor beagle icon?


I love these icons!

good job.

swift-whippet In reply to RJ8 [2008-03-08 03:31:56 +0000 UTC]

Aw. 12 years is a good long life, though. <3

I don't think so. When I reference pictures it is never from one photo. I like to get in lots of different poses and angles and then make up my own pose and angle. It really helps you get a feel for the thing in three dimensions. :3

thanks!

RJ8 In reply to swift-whippet [2008-03-08 05:01:26 +0000 UTC]

Porblem... never thought about using that method, I'll have to try it.

I actually made a mistake my beagle mix was 11 when she passed (60 in dog years).
