I feel like this year is the year of line edits and i love all of them. I mean. the eyes on graham's dog's arm look like they're in holes in his arm to me but i can overlook that. I didn't even notice untill all the talk about them! xD

But.. i think i don't have a favorite because all of them [even these ungrown fellas] are absolutely amazing in ways that make them...well. them! c:

I know the antlers are a little off! I know it's REALLY WEIRD, but the antlers are actually growing out of the back of his head/neck.

THAT BEING SAID... The fact that Draca likes it makes me feel good. My dear art idol. Thank u Draca. Bless u.

If you want hear my opinion the antlers and the thing that he is made by Graham reminds me

Gosh I know it was shown about 8 pages ago but I am so in love with Graham's pet, it's definatly my favorite staff outcome. I personally love the antlers, tongue, and the eyes on it.

I honestly think all of the linework on this one is stunning. If you stop and look at the detail in each little tuft it's really impressive. :)
I think that a lot of people would normally expect something different for the antlers but if you think about them like they're coming out from the neck it's actually pretty awesome. :) It's a shame the pose doesn't do that idea more justice - it's a little hard to picture with the way the head covers that area up. I can see why it might not fit some people's aesthetic but I think everyone would agree that the art itself is outstanding.

Edit:
Ah shoot. I've talked it up so much now I really want to do fan art I don't have time for. Lol!

[my sweet piano]

I think that the issue most people have with the antlers, at least from what I've seen and understand, is that the pup had the start of them growing out in front of the ears. So, seeing the adult with the antlers coming up from behind the head was weird to see, when comparing it to the pup. I think if the pup had them growing from behind the ears to begin with, then it wouldn't seem so weird to most of the people that have an issue with it.

That being said, I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out. Therefore, it really doesn't bother me at all. I'm not one of those people that expects everything to be perfect in staff litter outcomes, especially since I know not all staff are artists for the site. Even if they are artists with stuff off site, it's still, like Graham mentioned, their first time or one of their few times working with the CS lineart. And besides the little fact of the antlers growing from two different places on the pup and the adult, the lineart edits are absolutely amazing. In fact, based on these lineart edits, if I didn't already know, I wouldn't be able to guess that it was Graham's first time dealing with the CS dog lineart. With how great everything else with the lineart edits are, I think we should be able to forgive the little antler thing between pup and adult. :3

I think this dog and this one are related. They just have certain similarities. Are the artists the same?

No, the artists aren't the same at all. xD That first one was made by Tyr. The second one was made by Graham and it's their first pet ever on the site. :3 I actually don't really see any similarities, tbh. Even the style the lineart is done in is different. ;P

The only similarities I see are
- they've mostly darker colours
- something is growing out of their heads (antlers / branches)
- overall heavy lineart edits
- dog as base

Hmyes. That pretty much sums it up, but if you look at it like this, they'd be similar to most pets. ^^°
