A big ol 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 to dog owners who don’t train their dogs.

I work at a dog boarding/daycare facility. For the most part, I genuinely love it. HOWEVER there are three dogs I cannot stand and have refused to take into the yard (two) and one I flat out refuse to bathe.

The one for bathing is aggressive af. The first time I bathed her, she snapped at my hand. Figured she was just stressed, no biggie. Some dogs don’t like it. I can forgive it a few times. But not every single time. The time I walked out of the groom room and to the desk, the dog had bitten my forearm and hand and it was bleeding pretty bad. Told the manager that this dog isn’t allowed back and showed my arm. I had to get stitches. The dog owner refused to accept that her precious Shiba Inu could ever attack someone.

The two I refuse to take to the yard for playtime: one is an English Retriever. He is a straight up dick. He will attack any dog that gets too close. He’s bitten the yard attendants for no reason. He’s been banned from every boarding facility in the city.

The second one that is no longer allowed in group is a Great Dane. This one is the biggest Dane I’ve ever seen. He’s been known to literally drag the staff down the aisles. It takes four people to get him in a run. This dog has been banned for ripping another dog’s ear to shreds (the other dog is fine now. He’s still a sweetheart) in addition to biting down on my bicep hard enough to do some nerve damage. There’s still scars on my arm from him. His owner thought it was FUNNY.

For the love of dogs and the safety of the employees, TRAIN YOUR DOGS. My arm begs of you.

hello maue! ive seen you talking about helluva boss and hazbins character design and the like, so i was wondering if you could critique the character designs from the game doll eye? specifically the main three characters: alfred, mystery and kao. i have my own opinions about the subject matter, but im curious to see what yours are.

Interesting!

So right off the bat, I'd like to highlight a major issue all three designs have. Fun game for those at home: Without looking it up, guess the species of each of these characters.

(Answers below the cut)

Left to right: Alfred- Shiba Inu. Dr. Mystery- Oriental Longhair cat. Kao- Ram.

If you answered all three correctly, congrats! That's three more than I did. Alfred much more closely resembles a fox or coyote than a Shiba Inu (and his nose is so tiny I actually thought he was human at first glance). Dr. Mystery looks... somewhat feline, but the thick, striped tail reminded me more of a raccoon. And my gut reaction to Kao was "mouse", judging by what I thought were his gray cheeks, pink nose, and whiskers. And that's the thing: A character's species should be so clear that your gut reaction will be correct. If viewers can't see the resemblance, the design isn't communicating the information it should.

Another thing is that their poses are a bit boring since they're too symmetrical; like tell me you used symmetry mode without telling me you used symmetry mode. A symmetrical pose for a character is fine for orthographic/turnaround sheets so you know how they look from a perfect front view, but for a main pose it's kinda stiff and doesn't show much personality. It gels okay with the art style, which appears to be very flat and graphic. But there's no harm in giving even heavily-abstracted characters a little dimension.

Lastly, these designs are extremely bottom-heavy, with the feet taking up a disproportionate amount of space. Because of this huge disparity of visual "weight" between the feet and faces, our eyes keep moving to the feet, which isn't ideal. Generally (not always, but the vast majority of the time), you'll want to direct the most attention to the character's face, as the face expresses the most emotion. "The eyes are the windows to the soul" and all that. What are feet the window to? Blisters?

Anyway, here are my notes on how the designs are working on an individual level.

See, the thing about making a symmetrical drawing is, you better make sure one side doesn't have any awkward tangents, or they'll reflect on the other side as well.

And now, here's how I would redesign Alfred:

I mainly just made the face and ears look more Shiba-like, made the tail more prominent in the silhouette, and shrunk down his legs and feet a tad so the proportion gap between them and the face isn't so huge. I experimented with keeping the shaggy hair on the sides of the face, but it made him look more like a wolf or a Husky, and Shibas have pretty short fur. Also, I realized his shoes looked a lot like work boots, which wouldn't make much sense for a teacher to wear in a school setting. So I replaced them with dress shoes, which would be more appropriate for the environment.

Now let's look at Kao:

Not much of a change on this one. I lengthened his face, enlarged his horns so they're more visible, puffed up his collar to make room for his pointy chin and mouth, and did away with the ear. At first I thought just making it smaller would suffice, as its huge size was part of why I thought this guy was a mouse at first. But there's a lot going on up there already, so in the end I figured it would make things simpler if his ears weren't visible. I also incorporated eyelids that imply where his pupil-less eyes are looking.

Finally, Dr. Mystery.

The first order of business was determining the facial structure. Oriental Longhair cats have long faces and defined cheekbones, so I wanted that to come through in the drawing. The ears and bangs are now simplified, and the layering of the lab coat, pants, and tail makes much more sense. I also added a streamlined version of the tail fringe I drew in the initial redline, and separated the boots from the pants. The Meowth whiskers are gone; while they did provide a strong hint that Mystery is a cat, the face already has enough going on with the eyelashes, the bangs crossing over it, and the mouth jutting out at the side. I do think this version reads as "cat" without whiskers, but if they prove necessary, a simple line for each should do the trick.

In all three I tried to stay faithful to the angular, abstracted art style while making their species more clear and making certain features more logical and/or readable. This was a fun challenge! Thanks for asking!

History with Conan: Japan’s Jomon Period (Dogs)

Humanity began domesticating wolves as hunting dogs and guard dogs 10,000 to 30,000 years ago. Jomon artifacts related to dogs tell us that the Jomon people had dogs as well.

The Jomon dog: Dogs in the Jomon period looked a lot like today’s shiba inu. Like the shiba, this dog’s forehead is flat, and its tail is slim.

Clay figures of dogs: Many clay figures in the shape of dogs have been discovered, but it isn’t clear whether these were children’s toys or mementos of deceased dogs.

Dog burial: The bones of carefully buried dogs have been discovered at Jomon sites, and there are even cases where dogs have been found buried with humans thought to be their masters.This tells us that dogs were important to the Jomon people. 

With illustrations and information from History Detective Conan 1: Jomon Period (Time Drifters in a Primitive World).

how would AT boys react to mc calling them "pretty boy, get your ass here" /hj

Alpheratz: He glances at you and keeps an eye out for what you might want. If it seems urgent -which it does, because he look happy- he will get up and walk there. But if he is in a grumpy mood and you tell him this, he might just wordlessly teleport to the end of the world for some peace and quiet.

Arcturus: This man has an automatic filter against certain words. "Ass" is one of those words, so he just hears you asking him to come over. He does, happy to be called a good boy! Really curious about why you wanted him to come over, and even if the reason is that you just wanted him there, he is completely satisfied.

Pollux: This is a race against time itself! He will calculate the distance to you, figure out the fastest he can go, and then he stumbles over his own feet. Somehow, he looks cute when he falls down, but do not mention this ever again. If you help him up, he laughs the situation off.

Sirius: If you treat him like a dog, he will look and act accordingly. But whether he turns into a Dachshund or Shiba Inu or any other breed is always completely random. He will run to you, then run past you and sniff the grass.

Spica: There is no need to use such a language, simply asking him to come over would have been enough. Please watch your manners from now on, because such inappropriate behaviour attracts unwanted attention. Even if you may want this, he does not. Not this publicly.

Vega: His behind is quite flat, so how you intent to make something with it is a riddle he intents to solve, so of course he comes over. His mind is currently busy embracing being called a good boy, although he will claim to not have heard it. If you ever need him to do something, call him that again.

a little teaser for my Inu-Spiration 4 work coming January 1st. 💕

Soon, she moved to the pace of the kitchen, plating order after order. Tickets in, vegetables sliced, chicken cooked, trays plated, orders out. Running the expo line was one of her favorite things; the timing and control of everything felt so natural to her. After her father’s death when she was a kid, Kagome had always needed some type of say in how her life went. That was the beauty of working in the kitchen: she could do just that.

“Kagome?” Shiori spoke quietly, coming up beside her. “You have a phone call, line three.”

“Thank you.” She smiled bright, wiping her hands with a towel. “Once the dinner rush is over, I need extra rollups for a private party tomorrow evening. Can you and Rin start that?”

“Of course!” she responded, her silver hair moving in waves down her back as she turned towards the dining room door. Shiori is the nicest girl I’ve ever met, but I would kill for hair like that. Nodding towards her food runners, she let them know she would be right back. Glancing up at the clock, the dinner rush almost over, she was happy to be sitting down, if even for a moment.

Sinking into the uncomfortable office chair, Kagome grabbed her water bottle and took a quick drink, wincing when the cushions fell flat. I really need to buy a new one. Pulling her cell from her purse, she frowned at the three missed calls from her mother and one from her brother. Something must be important; I’ll call her back when I’m done with this guest.

“Thank you for holding, this is Kagome Higurashi, how may-” She began her spiel.

“Kagome!” her mama cried. “I’ve been trying to get ahold of you.”

“I just saw my cell, is everything okay? Is it Grandpa?” She worried her lip. He’s getting old; please let him be okay. Her assistant manager, Sierra, walked in, freezing at the tone of Kagome’s voice.

“No dear, Grandpa is just fi-”

“Then what’s going on? You never call me this late. Oh god, is it Souta? Is he okay?!” She met Sierra’s eyes, standing quickly.

“Dear, it’s Kikyo.”

Somewhere in Time

13. Baffled

Light was slipping through the cracks in the clouds as Inuyasha returned to the cave. His heart was beating in a frenzy. Kikyo and I just talked, he reminded himself but it did nothing to ease his nervousness. What would Kagome say this time?

As he trudged inside, bold accusation was evident in everyone's eyes. He flinched, half-expecting Kagome to osuwari him to the deepest pits of hell but to his surprise, she wasn't around.

"Oi, where's Kagome?" he asked to no one in particular.

"You've gone and done it this time, Inu-baka," Shippo said accusingly.

"Kagome-sama didn't return here ever since she left last night," Miroku added but stiffened as he looked past Inuyasha. Sango smiled grimly as she petted Kirara, and Shippo turned tail and hid behind Miroku.

He heard the heavy footsteps outside. He braced himself, knowing he deserved whatever punishment Kagome gave him this time. He held his breath as Kagome stepped inside, but she only glanced past him and instead went straight to Sango's side.

"Oi, K-Kagome..." he stuttered.

"Don't worry, Inuyasha. I'm not angry at you. You can relax."

Everyone in the cave gaped in astonishment at the coolness in Kagome's voice. She even smiled at him! Uncertain, Inuyasha crept forward and gently lifted her chin using his clawed finger. She met his gaze steadily.

"Are you sure?" he ventured.

But even as she nodded, Inuyasha's head clouded in confusion. With ears flat on his head, he retreated to a corner and silently watched her.

She smelled like Sesshomaru.

###

Jaken lay sprawled beside Ah-Un as watery eyes watched the small figure of Rin sleeping peacefully on the other side of the small clearing. He stood guard all night because his lord hadn't returned in the evening. Sun is rising already. Where did Sesshomaru-sama go?

As if on cue, the Western Lord strode into view. He quietly took a post at a nearby tree and closed his eyes.

"M-milord!" Jaken squawked, nearly falling over as he scrambled to his feet. "Shall I prepare breakfast now, milord?"

Like always, this went ignored. But even as Jaken added a few sticks to rekindle the camp fire, he could tell there was something different in the great inu-youkai. He stepped closer silently and carefully sniffed the air. His eyes widened.

Sesshomaru-sama smelled like the hanyou's miko.
