That is so awesome! The weather don't look great, but it still fun! XD

It looks a little muggy to be out at the beach! :O

that's amazing ^^ the colours are so amazing and the reflection on the shore is cool

Fantastic, as always...

you and your talent *shakes fist*

Awesome pic. looks like rain's a headin in

Always mist in the mornin' by the sea. :]

this is toooo cool! I love the perspective.

Oh my ... I can see how much fun he's having with that frisbee :] And the paws ... I LOVE these PAWS !!!!

Erm, did I mention the P.A.W.S. ? I certainly did :D

...dogs love chasin stuff! :D

It must be tough to dry off with all that fur though... Which is incredible looking by the way. Your work is always very impressive. It's amazing how often you update considering how much detail you have in each pic. (Or do you have a secret horde of artwork I am unaware of elsewhere?)

I have a secret vault under the floor boards that leads to a magical alternate dimension where all the art that I will ever do in my life has already been made, and all I have to do is pluck out a piece and laugh evilly as I swamp poor unsuspecting FA users with my prolific other-dimensional alt. ;]

No wonder I can never find anything to upload anymore. ;<

*cackles and rings his paws evilly*

*tries to figure out which floorboard has the next set of pictures* What happens if somebody falls in the portal?

rder collies and this oen is priceless i love how you always make 'em so cute yet so realistic. nice coloring job as well blotch

Heh, the dog in the background on the very left has a tennis ball :3

This was done in... oil? The detail suggests that oil needs to dry off instead of watercolors...

*coughs* sorry, I meant after the dogs in the picture dry off, as in, it's wet at the beach. It's acrylic and watercolour. ;]

Love the detail, and the realism, specially the paws.

I like how you always add so much movement into your art. Very nice picture. =D

Such energy! And I'm diggin' the cool color palette ^^

Everything <3

wonderfully done

cool pic! The expression's really cute! :D

Blotch is, by himself, the most productive team in the furry fandom. ;] Seriously, wow, ya'll keep pumping it out, leopard boy! And with no reduction in quality!

i cant help but try and focus on the cute dalmation in the back ^^ great work

Darn you, stop making me fav your entire gallery! X3

this coudn't possibly be portrayed any better! bravo! :)

Weather in the background kinda reminds me of what we have around here all the time... no beaches though since im inland.. But awesome job on the action pose there. and of course the fur detail always impressing

I believe this is the definitive Border Collie furry picture.

The reflections are awesome!

awesome! ^_^

really great job....colors are wonderful...what do you use to paint with, and what brand-brush type-paper type?

Acrylics (Golden) and Watercolour (Winsor-Newton), brushes are the super cheap ones from the local artstore, because I burn through them pretty quickly--but I have some better quality ones for washes (Winsor-Newton Series 7)-- and the paper is Arches watercolour paper. :]

awsome! Thanks for the info.....i have yet to EVER try watercolors and the more i see yours and JAVA's stuff the more im tempted to buy some....id love to see a tutorial someday on how you do the fur textures, they are definatley some of the best ive seen!

Actually, I have one up of sorts. ;]

I love the contrast between the weather and the doggie ^^ Weather like that usually makes me sad, but the doggie is just too cute to be :3 Great work!

What weather? You mean California? Always mist in the morning by the sea. ;]

I know, I was in LA last summer, I don't like it so much... I know it goes off by noon, but still, cloudy weather is not so happy x3

Aah, the price you pay for that salt smell in the air. ;]

Eheh, yeah, too bad you can't bathe there, water's too cold x3

Amen.

Aw gawd, sand in the fur!

SAND IN THE FUR!!

*shakes vigorously*

Very cool artwork Blotch.

frisbee for the win! gives me an idea for some future drawings!

This flashed me back to summers in Maine... fantastic job communicating the scene, it worked perfectly :) Terrific action shot, for that matter :)

ARF

nice feet on this guy =3

Faving for pure awesomery. The focus of the picture is fantastically done as usual, which sounds terrible to say, but true, but really what stands out even more than that is your attention to minor details in the background. The barely faded in characters in the background, the slight reflection of the wet sand. Really well done, thanks so much for letting us watch!

words cant express how much i love this pic. seriously. i love the beach so much and its quite subtle, but the background is lovely. The water reflection is also very choice. Usually i just leave a goofy comment or something but, seriously, u are an amazing artist.

YAHOO! Beach time!! *gets on his turf duds*

Looks like he's having fun! Nice work, Blotch! :)

P.S. Hope to see ya at Califur!

*sighs* this makes me miss the beach oh so very much. Looks like perfect weather to me! Fantastic picture, too.

When Brer saw this picture this morning, he started to whine about not being able to go to CaliFur and bid on it. You could probably have heard it in Colorado if you stepped outside.

Great work! Love the energy and emotion.

thats awesome. i love frisbie

awsomeness, great work on the fuzz. And hopefully the weather clears :)

Cool art!:) Great work as usual!:) This bitch remeber me a french beach "Mont ST Michel"

Woo Frisbee! I absolutly love this piece ^^!!

That's so awesome.
Can I have your hands?

Cute

damn...u did such an exlalent job

hooray for borderfluffs! My boyfriend will love this :) Are you offering prints of it?

Puppies are awesome

This artwork is awesome! The depth adds great detail. The grayness makes it a bit dreary but I guess that's to help put the frisbee players the main focus.

Oh wow I love the pose, must have been very difficult to pull off. I do like how the background is done with the characters in it being more blue hue, just like at a beach! :)

So much lovely energy in this one.And I love the faded out background where you can pick out other stuff going on. Excellent!

I spot a cute spotty =3

I really dig that you've done some dalmations lately. Not that I'm....uh.....biased or anything :)

Hahaa, I see these guys everyday on the mall when I'm going to class :9 Great pic

that's gorgeous. I love the weather too, I'd be out at the sea in that weather. better than the sun.. *ew*

Ya know, as I'm sure everyone else does, I do so love you're art. I can say this for certain, though... if I get a large enough tax return, I shall have to commission you for a full color. :)

There are so many details! Fantastic work, mate!

Sweet! Love the poses! Really nice job!

"Californian dreamin', on such a winter's day!"

I like the remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_lhDJ9xBQA

Ohmahgod super cute :3

Oh. This is wicked.

i love it well done!!!


+Watch
Be nice and watch/watch back :)

magnificent :P

I so wish I could have gone. Amazing piece. I'd almost show this to a few vets at work =P

that would be such a hot pose and view if he was naked and you could see his balls and sheath and such. ;)

Like a nude dog beach. hehe

but then others would get jealous and you'd need a nude cat beach, nude horse beach, etc. lol

Just wanted to say thank you for putting together such a wonderfully playful and energetic piece. For some reason or another I have never taken the time to bid in a con art show until this point but something encouraged me to try this one for $hits and giggles. Amazingly I won and, as my boyfriend can attest to, I'm hovering somewhere above Cloud 9. Again oodles of kudos and I assure you it went to an appreciative home.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Would that border collie be willing to make time for us to get our knots in each other a few times berfore he goes? *thinks the paws are a nice touch*

this one is so.. odd, in such a GOOD way. he looks really good, its so real like.
very good, very good indeed.

I bought a copy of this at MFF last year, and it is still one of my favorites of yours.

Very well done.

I love playing frisbee at the beach and fetch:)

cant wait till warm weather gets back here so can do it again

great pic *tailwags*

i would love a print of this.

im a dog so im gonna go there right about NOW
