Description
FINALLY the Working Group headshots and icons are finished!
I had a lot more fun than I thought I was going to have, but these days I'm just enjoying life a lot more in general so yays. Drawing different breeds -- particularly breeds I wouldn't normally draw for fun, lawl -- and really trying to get the character and nature of each one in the drawings is such satisfying work. I'd forgotten how enjoyable it could be. 
I feel like I need to make more characters of more breeds so I have an excuse to draw a wider variety in my daily sketches!Finished Groups: Working, Sporting, Herding, Toy.
Coming Next: Terriers.
(for all you Irish Water Spaniel and Kooikerhondje-lovers: I made two more icons for those breeds and added them to Sporting.
)am also thinking of making dog group support colourbars.
fwee.

The akita bothers me a bit.... since it's american akita.
because the black mask isn't allowed in the original breed.

I'm aware. From what I understand, American and Japanese Akitas are more or less considered separate breeds at this point, but the Japanese Akita Inu is as of yet not recognized by the AKC - which is what I was using as a basis for these.
Also note that these are more than five years old at this point and my art style and dog knowledge have both expanded since then.

I just wanted to point that out since it was bothering me a bit
I still love these though.
Yes, they're separate breeds.

I love what you did with the Bernese! We have one here at home, and I can say that you captured the Berner smile! Even the light in their eyes.

That's because they're.. not in the Working Group? o.o I've done the Herding Group so if you dig around enough you should find them.

There is no 'should have', it's just what I chose to draw. These icons are freaking old anyway and I'd probably have done them differently now. Glad you like though
