Yet another character...
Hi, guys!
Finally back into the character creation of my next animation. This one is the dog (Laika) that the Russian scientist will be experimenting on.
The next one coming up will be a dog catcher...comments welcome!

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam
Nice!
If I may comment, I think the dog's perfect. If I had a say, I'd remove the sparkly white bits in his pupils and make his eyes (the whites and the pupils) the same size. I got something against cartoon eyes that are different sizes to show depth. It irks me. King Arthur's Disasters also does it. I just like the eyes to be exactly the same size.
Otherwise, awesome shape and nice lines
I look forward to seeing more! Interested to see how he's going to be animated!

More poses, and perhaps some test animation, to see if your pooch is animateable. I suppose it is an active pooch, so it probably should have a lot of interesting poses.
I'm a bit worried about his big head (balance while walking and running), and the absence of a lower jaw. If his tongue sticks out, he should have his mouth wide open (at least, that is what I expect a dog to do).
BTW Many people new at character design seem to draw their characters' heads too big and the legs too short. How is this dog supposed to scratch when he has an itch behind his ear?
Of course, the pooch has lots of appeal. I'm just not sure if his design is practicle for animation.
My 2 cents.

Interesting question. I was about to write some advice on character design lately and came onto this subject myself. The answer: many artists don't care, and lots of animation works perfectly with this. Snoopy or Family Dog come to mind.Many people new at character design seem to draw their characters' heads too big and the legs too short.
