Eee yay, even better with the background! And I have a toy exactly like that in the background for her, so it's perfect! xD
Thank you again!

I'm glad I decided to ask you about the background, I thought it needed something! :D

Do you mind if I try coloring this too? :3

Feel free to color it, reprint it, crop it for an icon, etc!
As long as its personal use of course (and not for sale) you can do what you like ^_^
If you reupload, just be sure to credit or link back, thats all! <3

Of course!

this is precious, why just lineart though?
and a small critique, it doesn't look like she's chewing as much as she is smiling with a rawhide bone shoved in her mouth. perhaps drape the upper lip over the bone more next time or open the jaw wider, it just looks a little dopey and placed at the last minute.

Re: Lineart because that was what is I offered for the commission price. Something colored would be more to commission, and I am only offering lineart at this time. Its something I believe I excel in moreso than colored works. So that is why it is lineart.

Thank you for taking the time to critique, the smile is intentionally included in the image since it is a caricature of the pet and not intended as realism. I wanted to work in the smile more than the fact she was actively chewing the rawhide. I have a separate sketch of this with the jowl draped over the bone, and it does not emphasize the smile as much. I went with the more "smiley" look since it made me smile more than the accuracy of a wider-open mouth. Sometimes with caricatures those sorts of tradeoffs have to be made, but certainly nothing was "last minute" I assure you.

That is soo adorable

This turned out super cute. ^^ I like how much more alive the whole thing feels with just a few background details thrown in. Nice job! :D
