Description You have to admit that's a great word.

So here we have everyone's favourite ridiculously designed winged canines, on black paper, outlined in metallic pens. (And by "everyone", I mean me.)

The hardest part was getting the right lighting conditions to get a photo that captures the sparkly colours. It's still not perfect but is better than the scanner could pull off.

Wow I love this picture ^^ It is also very suprising because I generally dont like sparkledogs... ._.

Aww, thank you! I'm glad someone who doesn't like sparkledogs managed to enjoy the picture.

Haha, I love sparkledogs too (except for the ones with 39403983 theme songs and arm warmers). =D And these look awesome, I love the pose of the one on the left and the actual 'sparkly' quality of the colors.

Thanks.

I wasn't totally sure if these two actually qualified as sparkledogs since they have relatively natural colours compared to the usual rainbows . . . but I think the fact that they have wings makes up for that. Though now that you mention it, Lighbow actually does have a theme song, which my friend so graciously wrote:

"Ligh ligh lighbow lighbow lighbow ligh ligh lighbow lighbow lighbow lighbow ligh ligh ligh"

As you can see, this person is going to be an award-winning lyricist.

Cute! Unique and interestingly designed characters.

And I know what you mean about trying to get the colors right in a scanner vs. photo scenario. I usually still end up having to fix it in Photoshop.

Thanks for the comment and favourite.

And yep, even once I got a reasonable photo, I still had to adjust the levels in Photoshop a little to make it more accurate.
