Shetland Sheepdog Puppies & New Puppy Artist
Posted by(#Carni) on Aug 08, 2011
It has been decided that our very own Xylax will be doing puppy art from now on, starting with the Shetland Sheepdog! Item art for this new puppy is not yet finished, so please bear with us as we catch them up!
Now we need to know if you, the users of Alacrity, would like the puppies that have already been done, to be redone by Xylax, excluding the Corgi puppy, as both Xylax, myself, and our Site Owner, Robyn, are very happy with that particular pup done by yours truly. So, are you happy with the current pups the way they are, or would you like Xylax to redo them? There is a new poll up and running, so go and cast your vote!
Xylax has declared he is always open for critique, so if you have questions, suggestions, or anything of the like, you may feel free to post them so long as you remain respectful and courteous. :}

What age are the puppies of alacrity meant to be around? I've noticed certain things about them that are much more like an adult dog, than a puppy. Puppy paws tend to be smaller and more dainty, and their tails are usually much less fluffy and long, even if it's a fluffy breed. Of course, this all depends on the age of the pup you're going for, as well, which directs back to my question above. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn203/paddyjulie/SN853723.jpg & http://www.puppy.com.my/images/regina001.jpg & http://www.denversale.com/photos/class/1258122305auk.jpg- The chest seems a little too wide to me for the pose and perspective, which could easily be fixed by the front right leg being moved downward. I think the head only looks small to me because the torso seems to be a little thick for the breed, and where the chest ends, doesn't seem to match up very well with the belly to me. The lines do seem a bit thick to me, but that's likely only because I've grown quite use to Carni's puppies, and my eyes tend to prefer the thinner lines on them so more markings are visible. I do love the expression of the puppy, and how the pose is unique to the other pups. Personally, I'd rather the old puppies stay the way they are. I like the JRT a lot, but maybe the Papillon could use a bit of touching up. (: Also, here's an example of a Husky puppies tail, when they're a puppy. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs44/f/2009/157/3/f/New_Siberian_Husky_puppy_by_ThousandMiles.jpg & http://thebizzare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/siberian-husky-puppy-1.jpg (They normally curl, but they aren't as thick/long/fluffy as they are when they're an adult.) I hope this helps, and good luck to you with all the breeds left to go! I know it's hard work, and obviously, it's very much appreciated. (:

The new puppy is extremely cute :3. But I still like how all the other puppies are, even though this puppy is adorable and the art is very clean.
