More German Shepherd Update

One of the reasons why some of my personal work take so much time is the fact I plan multiple uses for them. Sometimes things don't fit well or new information comes in and there's a need to adjust things to make an image feel authentic, if not accurate.

The German Shepherd piece is not different. I've started out creating an illustrated catalog of mainly Pastoral Type dogs, but thought the Shep could also be used to illustrate dog vests used by K9 units.

There's still a bit more to go for the Vest, but the Shep is otherwise done. German Shepherd owners do chime in if there are any inaccuracies.

German Shepherd with K9 Storm Intruder Vest (update)

I'm catching up on lost time. Last work year was spent doing something else that eventually didn't bear much fruit.

After a barrage of recent projects, I'm starting to dust off the older, shelved drawings and its time to get things up again.

Here's the updated copy of the German Shep with a K9 Storm Intruder vest. Hopefully it won't take another year to finish.  There's obviously much work to be done.  The current update serves as a way for me to block in the overlapping vest and see what I need to be doing with the pooch's fur.

 

German Shepherd Update

The whole world probably knows by now what went down in the wee hours of Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 7th 2011. If you don't.....then you might've been living in a cave (haha, get yourself upgraded coz even OBL lived in a decent house).

By now almost every nitty gritty detail that weren't classified has been let out on the wires. Even the classified ones were somewhat dissected and deciphered to some decent extent by real experts and armchair experts. There was even a dog in the raid!! The pooch was wearing one of these!

Naturally we have to update our old German Shepherd K9 unit illustration.

German Shepherd, K9 Progress.

Progress work on the German Shepherd/K9 piece. I've previously mentioned there's a full dog underneath that K9 vest and here it is.


Here is a close up of the head.

PMC Dude - With K9!!

Started work on the K9 German Shepherd today. Took a while to get the proportions right but I think this is pretty good for now.


There's a full dog underneath that K9 vest. It takes longer, but I usually prefer to work with a full body below whenever I want to overlap something. Also because this image is dual purpose, for the web-portfolio and for my collection of dog drawings.

Putting the 2 together:


I'm fairly happy with this update. These set of characters will be worked into the main web-portfolio interface at some point. There's an additional IRobot 510 Packbot to be added. Still in basic stages of line construction. At one point today I thought I lost the working file. Turns out its not in my usual working folders.
