Belchic - -O.O grabs Brain Bleach at first comment- Cannot unsee, cannot unsee ! x'D Yeah, an art trade would be fun sometime. ^w^ @bab - Oooh, thanks ! Yeah, I did use your advice from before to help with it, thanks. ~ ^.^ I also learned a nifty trick with the layers from a tutorial that also makes lineart easier to colour - so yay ! :3 GIMP, you shall be conquered yet ! >: D Hehe ~ the heart was originally meant for Growlie's love and appetite for the food in the tower, but I guess you can use your imagination with that one... x'D I have a feeling Clayton would have to hold Growlie back though before she eats too much of it. owo; Ahhh, feel free to take your time Bab. Good art isn't rushed. :> But thanks, I'm really glad you liked it. ^u^ @general - Yeah, backgrounds are definitely not a strong point of mine. ^^; I think they're a difficulty in general for most cartoonists. I'm glad you thought I pulled it off well ! :3 I actually went completely off a ref picture to achieve it, but it did give me some good practice. x3 @olwe - Awww, thank you ! ^^ It's awesome that you like my style... it's cool seeing how the different characters/fan chars look in it ! owo I'm flattered that you love it. ^_^; @nemo - Thanks Nemo. -hugs- >w< It did take quite a bit of time. Thanks for noticing ! :3

Le gasp, Growlie is actually posting art?! Well... I suppose she is. But not to worry, it's only a character picture... thing. Not sure why I procrastinated actually drawing, scanning and colouring it for so long, but alas. Raw sketch - i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt137/TheBigCheeze/growlie101dfcs_sketch.jpgInk'd - i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt137/TheBigCheeze/growlie101dfcs_ink.jpgFor those who may not know, the characters featured in this picture are all of my 101D FCs (in their most updated designs)... yeah, I know I don't have as many as most people... D8 But eh, less characters are easier for me to keep track of. May make more in the future if inspiration comes along, but for now, these are my guys. :] From left to right, we have happy-go-lucky Growlie and her grin of death (and love! <3), Ginger the sugar addict with the fluffy tail of fluffiness, Pudge (or P.J.) the... pudgy yet competitive little gamer chick, Arne the crazy "Birdbrain" pup who thinks he's a bald eagle and Trevor, the deaf little doggie with a great sense of rhythm and an unusual talent for the playing of zee drums. I realise this is the first piece of fan art I've posted in this community in more than half a year... so there has been a bit of improvement since then (I guess xD). Still struggling with my expressions and definitely my anatomy. Some of those hind legs are a little lulz worthy... Growlie's and Trevor's back leg looked a little better before I ink'd em... and I have no bloody idea what's going on with Pudge's legs (roflcopter) but I'm still learning how to draw birds... paaaainfully so, but I'll get it one day (I hope). Enjoy?

I actually think that you've got Expressions, Nailed, Growlie! 83
The smile that Growlie is giving, with that EXTREMELY Happy way, showing her way of being a Dalmatian Puppy, with such energy! X3
Ginger seems to be the calmest out of the bunch and she actually does look, good looking. X3
Pudge looks very amusing, what with jumping up to be seen and making the Peace Symbol with his Wings! I especially like the Sun Glasses, as if it's was him saying "Yeah! I'm cool!" X3
Arne looks so determined and acting as though he's in an epic movie poster (probably got an action theme going through his head). I also like how his eyes are shown via his goggles. =3
So, Trevors a new Dal of yours, eh? I look forward to seeing his Bio! *Hugs* X3
While, some hind legs to some of the Pups here, may be a bit iffy, your work is still AWESOMESAUCE! 83 I can just hug Growlie there. Does Growlie want a hug?
Still, Awesome Work, Growlie! =3 Looking forward to seeing more from you. *Hugs* X3

@shadow - You think so? Thank you! ^^;;; Belchic - Ah thank you. As for that request, I did actually finish it, though the pic is rather outdated. I can clean up the image a bit and fix it up and scan for you if you'd still like it; I remember drawing that pose back then killed me. x'3 @olwe - She does? Thank you, I'm glad you think so! @flo - I'm glad you like it, Flo. ^^; ~ Yeah, this thread has really been abandoned, hasn't it? I wish I could get myself to scan and colour more things that I draw, but for some reason I'm really lazy about it. xD It's nice to see it isn't /completely/ dead yet. ^^; Jewel - You really think so? Neee, thank you! For some reason, I never seem to be satisfied with it myself, so it's nice to hear when others enjoy it. Thanks! @bab - Aww, that long comment of yours made my day. Yeah, I've been trying to work on my expressions more over the summer... that seems to be what I am most interested in drawing (different faces xD). I'd love to take an actual cartooning class if I can get the chance to so I can learn how to do the more exaggerated faces that stretch in all directions. 83 Growlie sure does love to smile - only makes me wonder what she'd look like if I drew her frowning for once. x'D You think Ginger is good looking? - Ay, I'm sure she'd like to hear that. ^^ I do imagine her to be that way with her fox-like tail and everything. Haha yeah, I had a little fun playing around with Pudge! Didn't nail the pose I was hoping for him; I kind of added the sunglasses and peace sign for a couple laughs, though I've been thinking of giving him the sunglasses for him to wear from time to time since he /does/ look pretty good in them. Arne does look that way, doesn't he? I always imagine him standing in that pose before he takes off flying, or if he's just enjoying the breeze around him. I'm happy with the way I've been able to draw Arne since he always comes out looking the exact way I imagine him to. ^_^ Trevor is a new sight around Sparky's, but he's actually a bit of an old character - I created him before Arne, though I never finished his bio or even thought of too much of a backstory or even a name for him until recently. Since I've gotten back into my characters and everything, I've been trying to organise them better - so along with this updated picture of them, I've also been working on revamping each of their bios to be up to date too; Growlie, Ginger and Arne's are all getting a makeover first, then Trevor's and Pudge's bios will follow soon after. Already got done with Growlie's updated bio, so hopefully they'll all be finished soon enough! ^^ Yeah, the hind legs seem to be what I struggle with the most in terms of anatomy, but... anatomy itself is a huge struggle for me in cartooning in general. x'3 I know that's something I really gotta continue to work on. Yesss, I think Growlie would love a hug! >u< Growlie: Yaaayyy, hugs! I love hugs! -bounds over to Clayton and knocks into him before giving him a huge hug- x'D Thanks for your comment Bab; I like to hear your perceptions on it! ^^ Not sure when I will post more art, but it would be nice if I'd be able to get done with one every once in a while.

Ggaaahhheveryonekeepscommentingonthisss!
@general - Ooohh, thank you for your helpful comment! Come to think of it, I'm not really sure what kind of emotion I was going for Arne - straight face, maybe? He does look a bit confused though, you're right. x: Position of the eyebrows certainly changes everything. Yeah, I feel like hind legs are what I'm continuing to have a lot of difficulty with... I think I'm going to have to start using a couple dog reference pictures to see if I can mimic the anatomy better. It's definitely one thing I've not been too proud of in my more recent drawings. x'D
Ah, thanks for your input and the nice comment! ^^ Doesn't matter if you don't know much about expressions; anything helps. :]
@two-Tone - Haha; thanks TT. x'D

Lyke zomg, I'm actually posting something? -world explodes- Anyway, yeah, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. I was doodling some dalmatian characters from Sparky's last weekend for the funz, and for some reason I wasn't actually lazy and decided to scan and colour 'em. It might not look like a lot, but I literally went over that lineart three times... (in pencil, ink and in colour - whew; you don't realise how much work artists have to do until you do it yourself. x'D) Anyway - characters featured in pic are Clayton, Bishop, Shadow and Nemo. If you hadn't been able to tell. The shading is pretty horrendous, and the anatomy fails a little because I used absolutely no references for anatomy-stuffs, because to be honest, I had no idea I would end up scanning it. But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. <3 Hang it on your refrigerators plz or else I'll cry. ;_; No, not really. Maybe. D8 What - you know I'm still kidding you, right? ;D
