Thanks! I wasn't sure to what degree I managed to capture his personality. Glad you like it!

My gawds, that is one cute pic of Paulie! Well done, dasAoD! ;)

Thank you - Glad you enjoy it! :3

It's no real secret I have a serious crush on Paulie, so this makes my heart do flip-flops.

Heh heh... No one can resist. :3

Glad you enjoy this!

Woah, I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien.
I'm an englishman in New York~ <3

Catchy song, that.

Well, yes, so I thought. :P

OMFG!!!! Andy, Steve and Scott are going to love this! Beautiful job, hon! *instafav* >"^_^"<

Thank you very much - Glad you enjoy it! :3

OH, it should read, and English man in New England. :3 *runs away*

I know, I know - But he did come to New York first, apparently. And then, of course, I was inspired by a certain song... :P

And a good song it is. >"^_^"<

Nice job on the fur :)

Yay Paulie! I love Paulie, he's such a sweetheart..

Yes. <3

just like he is supose to be a gorgeous guy... i love paulie too... and Doug wereever than you are don´t be mad XD

Douglas? He can't just keep him all to himself. :P

Glad you enjoy it!

That's Paulie!
He's so charming and sweet as sugar.
Great comic, love the story a lot ^^

Yes, he's a very charming character indeed. Glad you enjoy this!

This really captures Paulie's gentle and caring nature. Very well done in technique and emotion.

Thank you, glad you think so!

he looks fluffy! XP

Hmm, I like the impressionist style you used here, it's very vibrant for this sort of portrait. ROCK ON

What's the definition of "impressionist style", anyway? I'm -NOT CERTIFIED-, you see, so it's not like I know much about such things. I just go by whatever looks good to me. :P

Anyhow, glad you like it!

Well, some of the things the impressionists were into were visible brush strokes intended to convey the dynamic, emotional side of a scene, and an emphasis on the vibrance of light. When I say you did it in a style like that movement, I totally mean it as a compliment because their stuff was beautiful! :)

(I suffered through two semesters of art history, I have to use it somehow! ;) )

Ah, well, that works for me. It depends on the content and theme of the individual piece, of course, but what you've described is pretty much what I've been going for with most of my work lately. Thanks again! :)

jeez that's amazing dude!! the shading man, the SHADIIIING

I had trouble getting some of the shapes right, actually, but the tones seem to work out well enough, at least. Glad you dig it, thanks!

I was an Englishman in New York. Now I'm just a guy with a strange East-of-England/New York accent.

Heh heh... No walking cane, either? What happened?

As far as eccentricities go there are two things I've promised my friends I'd never start doing, and that's wear a bow tie and carry a cane. I'm currently wearing a cravat and a bowler.

Heh heh... Fair enough. :P

That totally rocks :)

Thanks, glad you dig it! :)

The light on his fur is just gorgeous. Like autumn afternoon sun light X3
And I like that comic too X3

Autumn afternoon, huh? Yeah, I like that thought.

Glad you enjoyed the pic - And thanks for the feedback! :3

I love how you do the clothes, and his fur is just awesome. And also looks cool the shades and bright you do, it´s like there is a real bright sun out there.

Thanks! I was pretty satisfied with the clothes, myself. But I've drawn many characters with similar clothes, before, so I've had my share of practice. :P

Yeah, after you do so many clothes of the same type, is when you can try other types of clothing. Personally I love how the clothing work was done on FF12.

Bee-yoo-tee-fool. I love the sincere painterly style, an excellent complement to his personality. And I love his expression! The refinement of age, but a sparkle in those eyes and that tremendously playful smile on his muzzle. And the lighting is sensational!

Thanks very much for the feedback - Glad you enjoy this! :)

What a beautiful piece of art, dasAoD! The highlights and reflection in Paulie's glasses are simply "awesome"!
*applause for the artist*!!

Yeah, finishing up his glasses was one of the final steps, and as such somewhat rushed... But I'm pretty satisfied with how they turned out, myself.

Glad you like it!

Your skill with textures really makes this portrati stand out. Paulie's fur, his overall highlights, the reflections in his glasses and the moistness of his lips, are all really quite remarkable.

I'm just a detail nut, I suppose. :P

Thanks again!

This looks like it could go up in an art museum!

I know from experience that smiles are hard to do on characters with snouts, so it's a clever move that you not only contorted the lips on the side (which, in some drawing's cases (i.e. mine) are vague as a facial gesture), but also gave him a cute little grin in the center!

And as always, the textures are amazing... the fur, the shirt, the sweater... hell, even the glasses! Kind of an old English... distinguished and noble atmosphere. Illustrious, yet also not aristocratic... a down to earth sort of feel.

"Dignified!" There's the word I'm looking for. :)

Yeah, it's quite difficult to me to render believable, realistic anthros - In general, and in particular things like expressions. Animals are quite different from humans, after all, when it comes to emotions and how they express them. If a real dog gave you an expression like that, you should probably back up slowly...

And "dignified" works for Paulie, I believe, as do most other terms you mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Outstanding work man I love the coloring, great use of textures here. A must fav+

LOVELY portrait of Paulie. Shading and texture of the fur is excellent. Reflection of the windows in the lens is a very good detail, too. Ah, to be with a charming, erudite Englishman for one evening...

Heh heh... Thank you, glad you enjoy it! :3

So far the most realistic fur themed pic I've seen... Heck, even the word magnificent can't cover the grand job you did. Be more than proud, man.

Heh heh... There's definitely room for improvement, since it is my first finished painting of the character. But thank you - Glad you enjoy it!

Hm, it almost remind me of Eliot Shag from Dog City. Nice!

Thanks! And I guess there is a certain resemblance...

Certainly my favrit englishman. ^^

<3

Just........... Superb.

Holy SHIT that's realistic! O_O

I was going to be an ass and say "but he's in new england lololol" but then I read the comments and saw it was a song title, and someone already said it.

So, God work. And Paulie does indeed = <3

Heh heh... Thanks, glad you like it! <3

Excellent painting I have to say O.o
Amazing O.o

wow, this looks excellent. I could just imagine seeing arthur, sat behind an canvas with this on it ^_^
