Aww! So cute! I love the Irish Wolfhound. And his clothes are really cool. Reminds me of Johnny Tremaine.

It's really interesting to see a (slightly?) more realistic piece from you. I love period costumes : D I really, really love how you did the dog, especially the fur. The connection between the two, as has been stated numerous times, is really clear in this : D I love canine affection and loyalty
The boy's also really nicely done : D

LOL, I don't think it's more realistic actually, it's just shaded better and has better details than my others. xD Thanks so much! I'm glad that the connection between them reads well.

I love your pictures of people and dogs. They really hold a large amount of power over my heart. In this one, I love the look of pure adoration in the eyes of the boy and his dog. Fatastic work!

Thanks so much, dear! I should probably draw some more, I was planning a series of portraits of my characters and their humans at some point anyway.

No problem.
That would be really neat! I have always wanted to make a family portrait with each of my charcters and their families/ owners. Too bad I can't draw humans to save my life. Oh well, I would love to see yours!

This looks like a scene from a story set during the American Revolution.

The boy looks like a minuteman
with his hat.

I don't know if that's true per se, but she did ask me to dress him in colonial clothing. He's a trapper.

that is so good. The dog almost looks like a stag hound. When i'm older i might get a commision of my Grandpas stag hound and my whippet together. They have a love story thing going on.
