Nice job, the perspective is very solid, looks like he is convincingly standing on an actual surface, which is kind of hard to do!

Wow, thank you. I've been working on improving my paws latey, so maybe that helped with the positioning of the feet. He's going to be in a comic I've been trying to prepare myself for. ^^

OOh big project! Ive been trying to storyboard out a film project, but its been tough, cant seem to get the gumption to finish storyboarding :D

Ick... storyboarding. That reminds me, I have a storyboarding class where the teacher makes us storyboard these lame stories. In... in one of them, a guy hits a deer and it falls on the road side, dead and me mutters what a dumb animal it was! I didn't like it one bit, so that whole assignment turned out cappy. The next storyboard story is titled 'dead babies'. I was looking foreard to this class, but now I can't wait to finish it. If only we can storyboard our own story. *weep*

transfer to Vancouver film school :) they let you use your own ideas for most assignments.

eep, I just looked up the tuition. It's a little expensive, but it looks like you don't waste your time with calsses you don't need. Nice looking school! :P I like mine a lot too.

Wow, Vancouver? *__* At least it would be more like home then here in the desert. A lot of the times, we can use our own ideas for assignments, but the teacher who previousely tought storyboarding is teaching something else, so now I get this guy. >.>; I miss mountains, waaa!!! Is that school expensive? Mine is around 73k for bachelors in animation. T__T At least the animation in your school has the option of 3d and 2d. :p I'd take 2d in a split second.

oh wow, he looks great! i love how his chest is very broad and barrel-like...makes him look really tough ;)

Thanks for the comment. ^^ This isn't the final design of him, so his body shape may change. I'm thinking of making a sketch of him looking more slender. I very much appreciate your comment though! It really inspires me to draw more. :)

Spike! name him spike! :D
or...Harley
or maybe Butch

Thank you very much for your suggestions. :) Those are of course perfect names for a doberman pincher, but they don't quite match his personality. He's really kind, caring, and helpful. He doesn't try to be macho ever. :p But I'm very happy that you took time to suggenst names to help me, thank you, thank you!

He's quite handsome! Nice, nice, nice!

Dobies are handsome in general I think. 8D~ Thank you! *Huggles* I hope finals are going well.

I'm surviving. That's all I can ask for regarding finals.

How they going for you?

Rather well actually. I slacked off for half of the seimester in my materials and lighting class, mostlyu doing homework and a lot of nothing, then at the last minute I slapped together a scene, and my teacher really liked it. o.0 I got an A in Character Design, or a very High B for sure, and Sensory Language is a breeze. I think this is a good ending for a good quarter. ^^

Sensory Language? What the hecks kind of class is that?

Did they change the name of Speech to that?

It's a class about our media and culture. It's really fun, the teacher is like a comedian! XD He always has his students laughing and in a good mood during his class.

I have never had that class. Hmm.. What teacher teaches that?

His name is Mr. Jones. He likes Tai Chi, and he always wear his Bhuddist beads around his wrist.

Sweet!

Wow! You got the build of dobermans down to the...uh.... ..um..I like the way you drew it *sigh*.

For names, you could search "names" on google or yahoo or whatever search you use. There are sites that have names including meanings for them and some sites specialize in naming spacific animals. I have this great site you could use but I can't find it right now. I will show it to you as soon as I find it.
Excellent work you did in style of these animals. I like the way he's standing and has one ear alert, very cool.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you think so.
I actually think he's going to be a little more lean in his final design, since he's not really tough.
And thank you for your tips, I'll definately look around. ^^

Ok, I like these little changes you make with the characters so that they are less predictable.

Your welcome, I'm still looking for the site.

I like it, except Dobie's are a smooth coated and the legs are thin
