I think he looks pretty good, and as I am no Balto expert I really have nothing to say to critique it. He is so shmexy though. Balto=sex.

He looks a bit different from the usual Balto. In this picture his is more softer and tender looking.^^ I love it more then the usual balto. The lineart is so pure and beautiful.

You see flaws? And you want a critique? Well... I usually don't, but okay. First off, the position of the ears may be anatomically correct, but it's not something familiar to Balto himself. He rarely has one ear somewhat flicking and the other perked. The inking looks a bit rough, but nothing that's beyond the understanding of human capability. The nose is round. Very. Balto has an extremely sharp nose compared to most animation styles which is what you should be trying to emulate at this point. It's somewhat of a divider between wolves/huskies and most of the other shown breeds of dogs. The broad side ear (left) is too wide for the style emulation, again. That little strain of texture-like fur extends too far for what's shown on the movies, no big deal. You need to sharpen those points on top of his head next time as well as making fewer of them. His fur is rough, but not scraggly. The most neck creases Balto has ever had when I saw him was three, so one of those is overdone. Finally, accent a sharper brow, and the profile seems a mix between profile 1/2 view and 3/4 simply by the elements presented.

All in all, it's pretty good.

It looks a bit too rounded, but still a nice job.

Well, I'll try my best... Say his ears... Hm... I think they are a little too set back for the expression he's having... May be make it point a little forward? Just a thought. Other than that I think it looks pretty good to me! Nice work! ^^

Nice drawing.
I know there is something not quite about it...but i can't quite think what it is
Maybe the ears are too small?

Ah, well, nice one anyway

Ooooh! Sweeet. There's something about the eye, I think it should be a bit more angular. And you should add in a bit more cheek floof, but that's about it, really.

His ear seems a little ... I dunno ... weird? I do remember his nose was really pointed at the tip.

berndi [2006-03-31 04:56:14 +0000 UTC]

ayame-souka [2006-03-31 02:03:33 +0000 UTC]

That's cool. ^^ It's just that the ears are at a slightly odd angle and the forehead is about maybe...too pointy or something -coughc- But I can't say much, I suck XDD.. Balto is cool << >> But Jenna and the pups are cool xD

FoxMaxwell [2006-03-31 01:25:02 +0000 UTC]

Hmm that's not too bad a Balto, but what you wanna do is make the ears a bit longer and the nose kind of pointer and smaller. He's kind of pointy looking in the movie, not really fluffy at all like Steel, probably due to the cold and his way of a stray. Don't forget to mimick the sweet large eyes of his! ^-^
That's all I can give.....hope it helped! I cannot WAIT to see this! *is excited*

* Cough *. Okay, so I lied. And I'm such a good friend that I looked Balto up to check. Okay, let's see.
1)Your chin on him is rounded. But the actual picture has three How do I say it, Like fluffs on it.
2) Again, coming down from the ear there are three fluffs at like the jaw line.
3) The pointier and longer nose like I said. Instead of a shorter rounded off one. x.X.
4)Ouch, Oh my. The marking on his mouth. See how yours comes really far back and is close to his eye?
It's not suppose to. It should come downward a bit. The second peice that is below the eye should go downward and shouldn't wrap around his head that far. If it makes sense. X.x
5) On the forehead it is rounded downwards then up at the eyebrow. It shouldn't. It should be a solid pretty straight line until it gets there.

Okay, I'm done being mean. ^^'

Hey Sweetie. you can see a bit of Balto in him, and what you're trying to do, But there are flaws.
X.x Maybe the simple sketch part or just..* Shrug * Something Something. If I had a picture I would be exact. At the moment I can't picture him too well in my mind. But I think his nose doesn't have the little fluff on it. And his nose also comes to a point. X.x It would look better in color. But not being a jerk. Great job though. I'll get back to you on him.

The way the mouth is...it seems fine to me. However the eye seems a little to distant from the ear and both ears seem sorta smallish for the head. As for the position of the ears it is completely possible for one ear to go one direction and the other to go another or remain somewhat laxed...its just their size that throws me off.

Wasnt his muzzel longer and thinner than that too? I cant remember...

Balto Nice, only things I see is that his ears are rather small and I cant rember if the Balto style has their mouths "connect" to the darker fur like that or not. Also making him a bit fluffyer never hurts

Sharpies are gifts from god. Like music. ohyes x3
Wonderful job, darling. I think the ears could use a bit more detail, but other than that wonderful job <3

Comparing this to a still shot from the cartoon, I think the stop (space between the eyes) is too long. The muzzle dips down just a bit too much, and the ears aren't long enough.
Just my comparisons with a movie still, but this is a great drawing all the same!
