Yeah, not a fan of that part... a deviant mind pulling the strings from the darkness I can take. The immortal being that even the Cosmic Nerds fear is a bit more than I like.

How many litter did the siblings come from again? That's assuming Bino, Joey, and Fido don't come from the same litter. Fido apparently look older in Housepets Babies while Joey is stated to be the runt of the litter. Considering their owners are colleagues, we could assume Fino's owner might be one and is connected to how Fino got his name.

It will be. So. EPIC.
Wonder how you will portray Fino when you already have a Marty Stu in the form of Martin Foster.

not the same litter, but the same parents it's quite possible, given the pattern here

It has been confirmed a few times that Fido, Bino, and Joey come from the same litter.

I made a quick tag idea from the Cuneiform Alphabet that Copper posted, it's just FB for Fido/Bino but I thought they fit well together if you put them vertical. Also it fits in with what Mickey said, it's closer to his body shape and style:
Image

Also, artistic comments:

I like the elbow and knee patches, it's different and unique to the other Housepets, but I know some people don't like them and I'm not going to cry if they're removed.
I liked the design on the old tail but I also like the tail he's got now. However, I would definitely like to see an interesting fur pattern on him somewhere. Maybe even a Rorschach type design that's constantly changing but in subtle ways.
I like the solid gold collar but I don't think it should be overly gold if that makes any sense. Like, a little duller so you'd have to get close enough to find out whether it's real gold, then since no-one's ever been that close to Fino, it'll remain a mystery...
Also, whoever does the colour pattern for Fino will have to take into account the colour of his collar and tag. Just to make sure everything goes.

EDIT: Just thought of another tag from the Cuneiform alphabet: AZ as in the Alpha and Omega, which, considering he's from the same litter as Bino, Fido and Joey and yet was around when the Cuneiform Alphabet was being used, I think it's appropriate:

That was actually a joke.
Read the "About the Author" section on the back of the first Housepets! book. :P

Since this is a collective thread and we have the character's best design already, what about the family name?
I think he should be Fino Straker. Any other ideas? (oh, and I'll delay posting my next updat featuring him in person until we have a family name we agree on)

Maybe he could be owned by someone of another nationality?

Straker is not a great one, sounds too fake.... I know some good last names though...


Let me see, Zipper, Sparks, Coffin, Paradice, Alleghieri, Sweat, Rigg, Laudadio, and Bogyo to name a few. All real last names


I like Sparks... it is a family surname of mine that was lost long ago.

I agree. My great great uncle Cash Walker Sparks would agree as well. I hear he was a very good natured man when it came to joking.

In the continuity of my ficcie, I'll portray him as adventurer for NatGeo, bookwriter, an early career in advertisement as MEGAdorable puppy. Oh, and he composed an album once.

"Sparks" sounds like "Stark", so maybe his personality could be like Tony Stark?

I could definitely imagine Fino with elements of Tony Stark. Maybe Fino can be Iron Pup?!
