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)

YES I was thinking of you as I drew the Clumber too :3 funny how I tend to associate dog breeds with my friends, hahaha. (but then again, that's not so weird o.O)

*laughs* There are worse things to be associated with. I'm amazed that you remember my penchant for the large, lazy, and drooly. *winks*

I like all of them again. ;_; AHH TOLLERS <3 I will make a toller and name her Orange or something. Like the orange ice cream bars, which are holy tbqh. >< I dunno. But I love how you drew the toller... and English Setter, Brittany, Labs, and Weimeraner. I just like all of the different dogs you draw. Bravo!

sheyenne In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-13 08:41:11 +0000 UTC]

YES. They are awesome. They're called Orange Dream Bars or something... they have this orange... orange-tasting outer fruity cream covering, with vanilla ice cream inside. They're really good!

Eh. I'll upload something now. xD It's not that great at all but ohwells. It's something. I'll definitely draw more dog breeds and tollers.

Oh goodness more!! I am enjoying these so much Swift, I can't tell you enough times how very wonderful you are at capturing dog breeds. It's something I've always strived to do in my art, and you truly are an inspiration. All of these are just wonderful, I especially like the Weimaraner! Those are such gorgeous dogs... and the Brit has the most perfect expression on its face, those dogs are so hyper >3

blackwolfmagic [2007-02-11 20:22:32 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely love these. You represent the groups so well, and I love the expressions you give them. I love trying to guess the names as the picture loads and see if it matches the dog :3 Great job my dear!

swift-whippet In reply to blackwolfmagic [2007-02-12 00:05:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you're having fun with it! I actually only started leaving in the names because people would keep guessing and just posting comments with just atrociously long lists of breeds - and this wasn't meant to be a guessing game or I'd be mixing the groups up a bit instead of just posting a whole single group xD haha. (not to say you can't guess what breeds, but I got annoyed that people kept commenting with their guesses, heh.)

blackwolfmagic In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-12 01:54:10 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that, after drawing the breeds seperately and distinctly in their classes.

swift-whippet In reply to WhinnieMe [2007-02-11 19:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Nah, that's no fun. this isn't a guessing game, I'm drawing the breeds from all the Kennel Club Groups. The reason I put the names in was that people kept guessing and I got annoyed xD LOL.

I dont think I could even point out a favourite, I cant wait for you to do a Rottwieller, I'm not sure what group they are in,
Will you be doing felines too?
I love the way you manage to capture the spirit of each breed, those labs are fabs! I do like the expression of your Golden Retriever, s/he is very sweet.
Great job Swift, you amaze me with every dev!

swift-whippet In reply to OpalSkye [2007-02-11 23:58:56 +0000 UTC]

Rotties would be in the working group, I expect. -goes to check- Yup, there they are.. and just your luck, I'm working on the workers for next time

Felines might be a good idea except I have no idea how to make them look distinctive yet I'm working on teh kitties though!

That's the best kind of compliment. thank you, Dee.

OpalSkye In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-12 02:37:11 +0000 UTC]

yours are the best and most inspiring devs!
Your constantly giving yourself goals and striving to better yourself, you are a true artist. But more than that you have a natural, cartoonist/animators talent, there is always a life in each and everything you draw, all of your icons/portraits like these and the sporting ones have such soul! How you can do that I dont know, its got to be a god given gift. I am so glad to be able to look upon your devs and feel the love from them!!
I would definately LOVE to see the kitties, but I tell ya, I KNOW when the rottie gets out here, man, I am only going to wish that I could favourite it 1000 times!!!!

YAY Big dogs! I love big dogs, they are simply awesome :3 I love the way you colour, you are for sure getting better! They look a lot like the real breeds I loovee setters, spaniels, retrievers... all of them x3

swift-whippet In reply to blumgrl [2007-02-11 18:05:20 +0000 UTC]

Not all of them are big dogs, some of the spaniels are rather small :3 but no less big on the inside! hee. So glad you approve. this must be a treat if you like gundogs that much xD

Great work as always. The golden retriever looks like our Amber, with those fuzzy ears. And the flat coat looks like our neighbours Oscar and Monty!
I just wish the retriever were smiling more, though. I'd use the icon in a second!

Aw, I'm sorry. I felt I had to vary expressions a bit D: still, maybe when I start taking icon/base requests you could request a Goldie with a different expression? :3

-LOLs- I hope the MinPin was to your satisfaction, madame

I agree, I really like the way the GWP came out as well I've never tried to draw a lot of these dogs before, so it's fantastic practice for me thank you!

McKaela-chan In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-11 17:57:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it did. It's sooo cute. And it was black and rust! <3

I should try to practice that sort of thing, too. I always draw the same things over and over, it would be a nice change of pace. <3

swift-whippet In reply to airwen [2007-02-11 19:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Nuuuu! >D hahaha. eh, everyone likes what everyone likes. In the end, though I most definitely have my favourites, I love all dogs. :3 (except maybe that one psychotic boxer down the street that keeps trying to kill my dog. but then it's not really his fault he's a brat.)
Aash, the Laekenois and the red and white setter were in FSS too, but I still put them in their respective groups :3 I'll get round to doing a Kooik. I told you I would anyway

airwen In reply to swift-whippet [2007-02-11 19:12:10 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Yeah I know. I see a dog and I don't automatically like it cause it's a Sporting dog.. even though it helps. Unless it's a lab. For whatever reason I hate labs. And pitbulls, which most people would be like "ugh, how stereotypical" but two pitbulls attacked me and my dog one time so I have a reason.
Oh red and white setters are so pretty. I didn't know they were in the FSS. Coolness. I want to meet one some day. Along with a Blue Picardy Spaniel, which is my new semi-obsession. They are gorgeous and I want one and I found a litter of pups for sale, eeeeeeeeeeh!! <333

Yay! Thank you.
