Description Yay, more doggie icon headshots I'm starting to get better with these, I think! (again, I had to put in the red and white setter. Felt strange to leave it out. o.o)

Loved it!
Keep up the excellent work.

aww this is cute, although I was a bit disturbed at first, because I thought that you had written "bait" for the dog beneath the American water spaniel.

Just as there are black cocker spaniels and Irish Red and Whites with different patterns of spots. I'm sorry if I can't get every single colour combination in. I didn't want to make six hundred faces for every single colour combination of every single breed. =_=; If you want a yellow Lab with a red nose on your icon, you could maybe ask when I start taking requests for icons? ^^

but thank you

Volklet In reply to Volklet [2007-02-15 19:39:36 +0000 UTC]

I've read all through the comments and I just have to show my ignorance of the US show scene and ask.....what does "FSS" mean?

Also, your Wirehaired Pointing Griffon looks just like the European German Wirehaired Pointer - I really have to study the differences in type between the US GWP and the European ones! My neighbour breeds GWP and your WPG could be a portrait of one of her boys.

Superb work - I've enjoyed all of these and I'm looking forward to the other groups.

swift-whippet In reply to Volklet [2007-02-16 00:05:13 +0000 UTC]

FSS = Foundation Stock Service breeds, meaning breeds that aren't AKC registered breeds but are still 'supported' by the AKC. (or something like that. o.o)

Yeah, to be honest when I saw the WPG (since I'm not terribly knowledgeable about the Sporting Group; I lean more towards the sighthounds as you could probably tell) I was wondering how in heck it differed from the GWP and how I could make it look different and distinctive I had to go offsite to look for more source pictures. The differences are probably more apparent if you look at both dogs full-bodied and side by side. I actually was wondering about differences between British or American lines for various breeds when I was starting on this project, but in the end I went with using the AKC website for reference, since it was just too comprehensive and easy to navigate.

So glad you like them though, thank you!

once again, i'm loving these guys Cx you make such great doodles of them. and the number of expressions xD i used to have a yellow lab myself, but now i have a Shih Tzu with a haircut.

swift-whippet In reply to Jasumine [2007-02-12 20:04:05 +0000 UTC]

aww, thank you these aren't really what I'd call doodles though - doodles are uncleaned and uncoloured and require a lot less effort in making xD

I'm doing the FSS list after I'm done with the registered breeds, yes. Then I'll be taking requests if people still aren't satisfied xD
About the Kooik, I actually included it in the Sporting Group but haven't uploaded the image with it on yet

oii, pressed the enter button before i finished D|>

i was wondering, when your gonna do the unregistered/little known breeds, are you gonna include breeds such as the Kooikerhoundje? or just breeds that only few might know about. just curious xD;;

JessicaPlummer [2007-02-12 07:14:43 +0000 UTC]

i love thems so much! i think your drawings and designs would really benefit in the future from more caricaturing of the breeds. look at [link]
and [link]
and see how joe really pushes the look of animals. different breeds of dogs really have distinctive looks to them...pushing those distinctions really gives you and edge!

That's some really cool caricatures thank you I'd rather get all the breeds down first before I start playing around with stylisation though.. especially in the middle of a series I will be perusing that guy's blog some more though ^^
