Thank you so much! It's great to hear that you like my work
And yes, elkhounds are great. Do you have dogs yourself, being so interested in elkhounds?

You're very welcome! I think that every artist has their own unique art style which also makes them unique! and I only have a White Labrador and a Chocolate Lab. Lol but I would love to get an Elkhound one day but where I'm at they're very rare to find. >.< one of these days I will! what about you?

LaNorthWay In reply to dulcecorazon98 [2015-01-24 00:01:15 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely agree. Why be like everyone else when you can be something different?
Ooh, labradors are amazingly cute! Well, I'm sure there must be some breeders of elkhounds in the U.S, right? But yeah, I guess it's a bit dificult. It's not a very common breed

I'm glad I'm not alone when it come to agreeing on that. and exactly! Being different is a good thing. ( I would love to have a dog that is different like me) lol and I think up North is where to find breeders. Pretty much where the cold climate is. it's a pretty rare breed to come across over here! But I will just have to look around!

LaNorthWay In reply to dulcecorazon98 [2015-01-24 00:30:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure you'll find one! I'm totally in on the idea of having a special dog of a uncommon breed. I really want to get one of those Blue tick coonhounds, but the only place nearby that breed those is in Sweden XD

And as I forgot to answer: No, I don't have any dogs at the moment. My family had two elkhounds until recently. One grey and one black, but we had to put down both before New Year's. They grey one lost all her senses and the black one probably had a stroke. But they both had a very long life
It's weird not having any dogs around for the first time in my life, but we're expecting a new black elkhound puppy in March

Thank you! I just need to save up lol. I think it's sad that there are pounds, usually people tell me to go to the pounds to find a dog. But I can't bring myself to go to one it breaks my heart.
And wow that's a long way >.< lol I used to live in the countryside and everyone I knew had a bloodhound or a Blue Tick Coonhound. Lol XD so it wasn't uncommon to see a bunch of them! I used to have a German Shorthaired Pointer and he was a great helper when it came to fishing! My father would take him hunting sometimes. XD
And I'm very sorry to hear about your dogs, I'm sure that they were very happy to be part of your family and it's nice that they lived a long life. ^-^ and aww, I bet it will look adorable! And I'm glad to hear that you will be getting a new puppy in the coming year!

I know the feeling There's not a lot of dog pounds here in Norway, the most of them are private.
I think the coonhounds has such a funny howl XD And the blue coat is so pretty! But if I couldn't get one I think I would go for one of our endangered breeds like the Dunker or Halden støver. I think it would be great to help save an endangered breed. You know, try and make a differense

Yes, we're all so excited about it! There will probably be lots of pictures of her, so maybe I'll make a new elkhound stamp for the black edition?

That's good that you don't have a lot of pounds over there where your at. I don't like how they treat animals with cruelty, it's not right and will never be.
But I wonder how the private pounds are, probably not as good as I think. >.<

And lol yes! They're so silly sounding when they howl, you can't help but laugh and love them! XD and they have very pretty patterns and color of fur!
I do hope you can get a Blue Tick Coonhound one day! im sure you will! and Awww Dunker dogs are very pretty I've only seen one before and they are very pretty! I haven't seen a Halden Støver before. I may look them up! and that's so kind of you and thoughtful, it would be very nice of you to help endangered breeds. The world needs more people like you that care for animals! and Awww, I don't blame you, it sounds like a exciting event to happen for the new year! and it would be really neat to make another Elkhound stamp!

LaNorthWay In reply to dulcecorazon98 [2015-01-26 20:59:18 +0000 UTC]

Well, the private ones here are very passionate about animals. They're usually normal people who have taken in stray dogs or cats that have been left on the street by their owners when they no longer were cute puppies or kittens.
That happens way too often, and it's so sad!

Thanks for the support I think it's important to preserve the old and traditional breeds (and all species in general) so therefore I've got a black colt of one of our national horse breeds - dølahest
It's actually one of the horse breeds you can find on the Red List.

Do you have any interest in other animals besides dogs?

dulcecorazon98 In reply to LaNorthWay [2015-01-27 04:16:40 +0000 UTC]

That's really good that there are people who care about animals and the private pounds treat the animals with the care and respect they deserve. and yes it's very sad but true. I do hope one day that will change. Animals give us friendships and family when we need them and I feel like they should be treated as such not neglected. >.< and you're welcome! and oh wow! That's a type of horse I never heard of, over where I live there are a ton of people who own ranches and you can even ride your horse into town. It's pretty neat! lol I see people go to the grocery store on horseback. XD we also have a few Llama farms as well it's funny seeing them in the presence of horses. I have a interest in Llamas they're so silly! And I like Horses, and Wolves, Deer, Moose, Jackrabbits, Kangaroos, Red Pandas,and bats I have a bunch more but these are all I can think of. it's funny usually at night we get active packs of coyotes running around the neighborhood and sometimes hear them howling when they have a successful hunt. XD we get jackrabbits, tarantulas, lizards, scorpions, Hawks, porcupines, bats pretty much everything. XD what about you? What other animals are you interested in?

LaNorthWay In reply to dulcecorazon98 [2015-01-29 21:23:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, my gosh! Really? People ride to the store?! Where the heck do you live?? XD Well, I live in the middle of the woods on a small farm, several miles from the sivilization, so we hear a lot of animals around our house as well
And yeah, the Dole is a draft type farming horse and very common here. It's beeing used for all sorts of equine activities today, though It's one of our three national horse breeds. The two others are the Norwegian Fjord horse and the Nordlandshest. It's worth checking out I think it's a very practical horse, so to speak, because it's so calm and strong. Both physically and psychically
Lllamas are really cool! And so cute ^^ Alpaccas were very popular here some years ago, so you see small farms with those weirdoes everywhere ^^

Well, I too like almost all animals I can think of, but I'm not a cat person But horses (which I work with every day as a barefoot trimmer in training) and dogs are definitally my favorites My family are cattle farmers, so naturally I like cows as well. Idk, their just so adorable in their own way X)

dulcecorazon98 In reply to LaNorthWay [2015-01-30 00:08:14 +0000 UTC]

XD lol im not joking! XD Corrales is the town/village where all the horses are at and I always see a bunch of people riding their horses to around the shopping area its funny but really neat to see all of the different breeds of horses that pass by. where i live at its not uncommon to see horses around lol they even have the Equestrian Crossing signs around town only certain areas are allowed to have people ride their horses. lol even the restaurants have a special spot/ area where you can eat and be with your horse at the same time! XD I live in a small subdivision on the outskirts of town away from the crazy hectic city life. lol where I live at is mostly a ranching town and there are a lot of ranches out here as well as farms and rodeo stadiums lol. Its a western type of place.

And thats awesome! I always loved living away from the city its way too noisy and you can't see the stars or wildlife. lol and its awesome that you live in a small farm as well.

I will definitely check out those breeds of horses, you seem to have a ton of really interesting types of animals in your area. I wish we had some more interesting animals around our area. lol

And I think llamas are pretty funny and cute animals as well, they're so funny looking when the owners put the coats on them when it gets around winter time. I sometimes think that they want those jackets off of them but it makes them look so funny! XD 

and most people I know aren't so much cat people more like dogs rather than cats lol. XD and thats a pretty awesome job! I wish I could work with horses. And I think baby cows are adorable lol there so cute looking and act silly at times.

LaNorthWay In reply to dulcecorazon98 [2015-01-30 22:37:37 +0000 UTC]

Jeez! That sounds just so cool! Yeah, sounds like a real "Bonanza" sort of place X)

What I love most about living away from the towns and cities is, just like you're saying, that I actually can see the stars. I couldn't be without that If I'm sleeping in a city - like at a hotel or something - I just feel so captive when I can't see the stary sky above me.

Oh, I don't know. Personally, I think it sounds pretty interesting having coyotes lurking around in your backyard on a daily basis XD But yeah, do check out the breeds The Fjord was even featured in "Frozen"

Blankets on llamas? Really? XD I can imagine that must be quite a sight, yes!

Dogs rather than cats ANY DAY. Lol X) Idk, I just feel that cats are way too arrogant. "I'll let you pet me when I WANT IT. And I'll probably gonna scratch you anyway, just for fun" But they're cute to look at, though, I'll give them that

I think it's very giving to work with horses. They show you so many things about yourself that you didn't even realize. For example my neighbour's Icelandic horse. She's a very nervous type and kinda skeptical to new people, and just all over a very pessimistic lady XD But when I worked with her for the first time I scared the living daylights out of her just by acting the way I was used to acting around my horse, who's a very calm and content old man.
So with her I realized that: "Shit... I'm pretty loud... and pretty exhausting. I need to fix this!" XD So you learn something new every day, kinda

Yeah, calves are awesome ^^ Especially when we're letting them out in the field in the summer. They go absolutely berserk! X)

 Lol it is very neat, and most people get that idea of it being like a western T.V show lol. But I do enjoy having to live nearby a western town. but I am happy living away from the crazy city life. And Yes, I agree with you a hundred percent on everything you said including the star seeing. I used to live in a apartment and just hated not being able to see the stars or see wildlife due to extreme lighting exposure and too many people around the area. >.< I'm glad I'm no longer living in one thankfully! XD I like my wildlife and nature too much.  I have too much respect for it

its funny! and were not going to be getting any around here, we had a big cold front come in and now we have way too much snow. XD But I agree! Its a really neat sight too see. lol And I definitely will, thats really neat to have a National Breed on a famous film. and lol people put them on the llamas so they don't freeze or get too cold, I find it so very funny I sometimes can't help but feel sorry for them because they look very funny with them on. XD and Thats very true about cats, I have one but she's nowhere to be found during the day she abandons me lol she only comes to me when I'm sleeping or by myself or whenever she feels like it. XD but I also can say they get very jealous of dogs because my mothers labrador gets all the love and attention and my cat gets very jealous its kind of funny. lol I am more of a dog person than cat. but I love both animals equally they all have their own pros and cons which makes them unique. and really? it definitely must be a tough job having to gather them all up at times. lol I would think that would be very awesome to be around farm animals. your very lucky!

Tiriol In reply to LaNorthWay [2011-01-14 19:15:11 +0000 UTC]

Why, thank you.

Well, the Germany cosplay uniform is actually just a little bit modified German m35 uniform - I don't have the skills to do a full Germany cosplay uniform myself and I don't entirely trust Internet cosplay suit sources. Besides, I wanted to make an "authentic-looking" Germany, so the actual uniform was a better choice anyway.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LaNorthWay In reply to Tiriol [2011-01-15 05:02:27 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome

Yeah, I agree. Authentic looking is 1000 times better than the actual cosplay outfit, which looks kinda...I don't know...pathetic? Something around that area, and I don't fully trust the cosplay costume sites either, although I don't know what's considered good and not since I'm not a cosplayer myself. Eheee...not enough courage for that
But yours looks really cool Seriously, like gosh, how many uniforms do you have? Like, your gallery is quite a wardrobe...

I was thinking about maybe buying an Allgemeine SS uniform just for the sake of having one, but I don't know
It's kind of a bad habit I have; buying stuff because I see it and go like: "Oh! That looks cool! I want one! I don't know if I'll ever use it, but I want one!"

Hihi Yay, I'm not alone about that expensive habit!
Yeah, probably the same here. It could have been spent on MUCH more thoughtless things, so that's the best (and most used) excuse I have when I come home with something I don't know when to put to good use.
But God knows how many Soviet hip flasks, HV caps and military overcoats I would have had if no - one had said: "No. Just...no."
But I luuuv WWII military items~!X3 I can't help it!
