Ellie the Borzoi

Thanks. <3

Jay Naylor

I really like her a lot! And I love your idea of "the girl next door", will you be drawing more? It's fun to see different breeds of dogs/cats and other animal species too.

Anna Russell

Very cute

John Trull

I always start trying to imagine what the everyday life of every new character might look like. Because you always come up with interesting details. She looks cute and kind of a girl with her head in the clouds. :3

I love the girl next door archetype! What;s her personality like? Also, I love smaller chest girls. They are the ones that you can snuggle more easily <3

Aero The Highwind

Swimsuit. I keep thinking lifeguard.

"Girl next door" is really a way of saying "mostly average" when you don't want to imply that that's a bad thing. I really like that kind of look, the exaggerated curves, over-sized chests, and "perfect" features have never appealed to me the same way that "just some girl" can.

Is that a swimsuit or a leotard? I did gymnastics for a little while, and wouldn't object to a sexy gymnast character. She's definitely cute, either way.

James

She's cute.

"Top/bottom" has nothing to do with it. But there's always neoteny involved with the characters and making them more human-relatable, which is what I prefer to more "feral" looks. Humans are primates that have evolved neoteny as adults, which makes room for our brains. This requires a forehead. I can give it some give one way or another, but characters with heads shaped like footballs aren't attractive to me.

Jay Naylor

I wish she was the girl next door, very cute.

Is "cute" something that you work toward for your characters to be like as if it's always meant to be a cute (females/bottom) or cool (male/top) dynamic?

She certainly look like she's got potential. The "girl next door" type character really sounds like it'll be interesting from you.

I feel like Brooke and her should be friends

LaVojeto

I've thought about it, but characters like that never look "cute" and always just look like animals, unfortunately. I put a downward nose turn, but the bridge to the forehead still has to go up, to make room for a brain. These are always stylized.

Jay Naylor

would you ever consider drawing her with a more rounded bridge of her snout? Borzois have more of a long, rounded face structure than most other dogs. She does look like a dog character but I wouldn't have known that she's intended to be a borzoi if you hadn't mentioned it :-/ I really hate to say this to an artist I really like, but the face structure of your characters never really varies :-(

odd-rose

I'd say... 6'3" to 6'4" A delight to be sure. :D

There are a lot of girl next door types. The main factor is that they don't necessarily look like pornstars or models.

Many years ago I had the pleasure of keeping one of these beautiful creatures. They're enormous, with a regal and dignified air to them. They're aloof and don't suffer fools lightly, but earn their trust and you'll never have a more loyal companion. My little sister was small enough to ride around on Belka's back; he was stoic enough to not complain much. You really did well on this, Jay. She has a calm, wholesome quality to her and I'd love to see Ellie appear more often. That and she has legs for days; somehow I see her standing a good six feet tall!

I always thought the "girl next door" type had bigger boobs. *shrug* Either way, she's a hottie! :D
