Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok iv gotten a bit of bad rap for 'canine hating' lately which is totally stupid (considering im a wolf therian thus a wolf fursona) and have plenty of canine characters myself. Im just sick of seeing poofy canines, REALLY FLUFFY, eyesore rainbow colored or contrasting too many fucking colors with human accessories. THOSE KINDA CHARACTERS. BASICALLY sparkledogs. Wanna know what a sparkledog is? ED will tell you: encyclopediadramatica.com/Spar… don't get me wrong I like vanillakitsunes art but IMO there are WORSE shitty canine characters than hers out there. Ever more floofy and retardedly obnoxiously stripey spotty or stupid in their color schemes.

Anyway so these are all my feral canine characters (minus Myrimur because its a longass sylphoid and I couldn't fit it in). Notice how though I have some bright colored characters they all have minimal markings and other complimentary or darker colors to make them less EYEHURTY. and NOT ONE of them has a human accessory not even an earring or necklace. Besides most of my brighter/elemental canines came from when I was much younger and now im too sentimental to change them heheh.

This was done in copic ciao markers and prismacolor pencils. They were all done rather quickly and its nothing fancy but I got them all done within a decent amount of time.

This was actually really hard for me cause I have a limited marker supply alot of their colors aren't perfectly correct. The best colored in my opinion is Archer and the worst I totally fucked up juxtaposed's colors x_x

TOP:
Soris - genderless, implied she - Sylphoid
Ex Infenris - male - ~hellcorpceo 's hellhound species - the scull marked snarleh one
HellHound - both male - demon/wolf/GSD - the two headded one, hes had a little bit of a design change in the body.
Mason - male - wolf/Wall - the pup with a brick for a head <3 my lovechild with the wall
Dion - male - wolf/fox/liquidshifter - mason is leaning on him and he has a melty tail lovechild with ~Lance-Foxx
Sill - male - *BloodhoundOmega 's Bloodhound species - the big eared blank eyed one
Hunter - male - Half dire wolf - another lovechild, right of Sill, brown grey and white. Hes INCREDIBLY emo and adolescent.
Juxtaposed - female - ~Rudderness 's juodira species - spikey mane, totally fucked up her colors. /cry
Juska - male - mutant/vampire/wolf - long ears big wings on the left.
Eclipse - Female - shapeshifter wolf - changable night sky fur
Hydroenergy - male - Striped hyena/Malemute - big and green and always running
Kie - female - Kitsune - Small and red, rather stylised.
Dash - female - Elemental wolf (light) - adopted daughter of Chalon, small pup and gold with little feet wings
Chalon - Male - Elemental wolf(earth/life) - Bright light blue with wings
Archer - Male - Elemental wolf(cold fire) - son of jewel, grandson of silent.
Silent - Male - Elemental wolf(Fire) - Aged alpha, flames, first canine character.
Jewel - Female - Elemental wolfdog(Lightning) - starting to age long furred white
Echo - Female - wolf - tribal patterned sand gold, opposing colored wings, adopted daughter of silent.
DareDevil - Male - Belgian Tervuren dog - Lying in the bottom right corner looking surly.
Myrimur - Male - Elemental Sylphoid - Not included in this pic, See him here: cunningfox.deviantart.com/art/…

So I have 20 feral Canine characters out of the.. 51? I own Can't be too sure about that

some people get waaay too into canines. I like wolves and all, but I actually do like and care about other things (although I'm not very good at drawing other things..yet). And sparkledogs are overrated.

Oh I love this pic,all the browns and grays is really charmining to me.Although im a sucker for brownish and grayish canines. x3 I typically dont really like sparkledogs,or really the ones with tons of colors.DB Especially neon, looking at one sparkledog with three neon colors had worsen my eyesight slightly thanks to my bright screen.(Im already wearing glasses. -.-) xD I agree with you on the sparkledogs though and EU is hilarious, but to me it seems like that people with no life just post stuff on there to get attention.*shrugs* I must admit though, I love drawing hair on canines, xD I just love drawing hair and since im no good with humans,animals are the next thing, but usually always on my characters that have human forms.x3 My fave is probably Mason and Hydroenergy, im still wondering how can you do "that" with a brick wall,but I'll just ket my mine wander, and I feel sorry for Hydroenergy, theres not enough space for him to move.xD

KaosLeishy [2009-12-05 23:02:10 +0000 UTC]

I love the colour schemes all natural colours. I have to agree with you seeing all these wolves demoted to wearing human accessories and bright unethical colours is just ludicrous.

swift-whippet [2008-09-06 14:20:46 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, I feel that 'sparkledogs' are the result of people trying to EMULATE VK. Personally I think she does what she does, and she does it well as far as I am concerned, but then you get all these other people trying to be like her except without her instinct and skill for colour and form. I've seen some in truly horrendous colour schemes that ought to be banned from the internets on charges of making people want to gouge their eyes out, and with anatomy that would probably work if you broke every bone in their bodies. But I also feel that it's more of a phase than anything and that most of the people that start out drawing generic sparklypoo dogs do seem to grow out of it given time and exposure to other forms of art. It's just that period of 'OMGAWSUM' hero worship that makes people blindly emulate big name artists without any real knowledge of how anatomy/form works or even what colours go together.

...so yes, that's my own personal take on it. xD Everyone looks great here, and all of them are special. :3 I love how you drew and coloured the flaming ears on Archer and Silent in particular! Funny thing to like especially, but there you go.

(also pssst hey, dognerdtiem: the breed is a BELGIAN Tervuren, not a German Tervuren. ;3 I love his expression though. '¬_¬'

Ah I totally agree with you! Those people that go so over the top and think they're so creative and original you can't even tell it's supposed to be a wolf.... yeesh.
I adore all your characters! I see some here that I dont' think I've ever seen before.
I love love LOVE Eclipse! I think you should draw her more often!

Bear-hybrid In reply to Hunter-T-Wolf [2008-08-13 17:28:10 +0000 UTC]

because hes an angsty emo teenager? Hes the oldest of my children and has to look after the younger ones, also he feels insanely left out because it appears he never inherited any special abilitys etc so he feels totally left out and bummed xD

I LOVE your canines, they're so awesome and original

And I agree, everyone makes over the top characters, with ref sheets and marking no one in their right mind would remember or ever get right again lol it's become a way to show that you just follow the crowd.

Bear-hybrid In reply to Rurouna [2008-08-08 20:00:40 +0000 UTC]

aye indeed. More starting artists stumble upon canines as an easy medium and fandom to join into and just draw that over and over.
Thanks! all their emotions were tailored to their personality's x3
