Hmmm, that is looking like a good cross between the current style and the new one... I think this is what you should be going for.

I think Grape's cat eyes are a bit scary... otherwise it's aaall good. :)

Just cant wait to see a HP-episode with that new style! X3

I just went back and compared this one to the last three redesigns. It's been interesting.

However you change the style, I'm interested in seeing the new designs applied to the comic. I love seeing this type of behind-the-scenes stuff. Keep up the good work, Rick. The quality of your comic keeps getting better, and it's obvious you put a lot of work into it. :)

Coolies. Can't wait to see the company in the new designs!

Wow, you've done alot of thinking and work on the character redesigns...love what your doing so far.

This is really nice and the fact that you can distinguish the difference with the different collars is nice

Hm... I kinda have mixed feelings on this one to be honest.

In terms of Grape: I like what you did with the eyes. It adds more of the feline characteristic and makes her look more feminine compared to your third design. Also the "cheek fur" looks really good as well, giving it a nice fluffy look and contrast between the types of fur on her face like the original design. The only problem I have with it is that I feel like as if it seems to have lost some of its "cartoonish" feel in the process. Maybe its because of the expression she has on her face, which looks really pleasant by the way... kinda gentle and sweet.

In terms of Bino: I totally don't mean anything bad with your current concept, but to me it seems like as if he has either lost a lot of weight or has turned into a girl XP. Compared to the original design he looks... more slender all around. The ears are thinner and put back more which give it the look of a "slick hairstyle" and the muzzle itself looks totally different compared to before. In the comic his muzzle looks smaller and rounder compared to other dogs, which is probably why this one looks like a completely different kind of dog to me. Maybe its the expression and pose that's throwing me off as well... when I look at it I can't help but feel like as if he's saying "OH no you didn't!" XD.

So that's my opinion. Again, I totally don't mean anything bad with your Bino concept, it just doesn't seem to agree with me *shrugs*.
Also, I'm starting to think that not only is the overall look of the character important, but also the LOOKS they give are as important as well, so maybe after an anatomy concept is made we can get a few expressions to compare as well? Just a suggestion! I'm no artist... I'm only some random fan/stranger that's saying whats on his mind XP. I hope this helps in some way and I can't wait to see more of your ideas!

...and here I go AGAIN writing a critical analysis paper... of CARTOON CHARACTERS in a WEB COMIC .
I blame my English teacher :P.

God I like that dog. He has attitude. XD

SRS BINO R SRS

Bino should look pissy more often

Grape just looks better and better! That expression totally fits Bino like a glove!

wow it makes such a difference putting peanut's ears down - it's pretty awesome :)

That's Bino

I like these renditions.

Daaang. 8D
