This will definitely go a long way in me figuring out that Ace is a female. Nice job on putting the pages together! :D Thanks! Although the sex of the puppies was like, the first thing we found out... https://scontent.fosl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/87049998_187898135861702_4619309319089815552_n...

I actually made a family tree for them a few years ago before more of their relationships were explained and we figured out how everybody had fit within the family tree. Keep in mind that this is very old. It's from 2015 so it probably is out of date. It also has North Star's old name instead of hi...

I'm trying to work out how the wolf pack family tree looks like, and although some things are very clear, some are more tricky. Specifically I mean the relationship between Miles, uncle Deadeye, cousin Rodney and Natalie. Here is a quick illustration of what I have gathered so far: https://scontent....

By the way, I draw irises into the tri-weekly updates over at the Photoshopping Housepets topic if you want to follow the process there.

MasterAbsinthe

Eh, the color needs to be a LITTLE bit smaller. Can we see what it looks like at half the size? I disagree. That looks more like a minimum than twice what it should be. Besides, if you make it too small we're back to the original problem of the irises not being visible enough. Yes I agree, in the l...

Don't know if this thread is dead, but on the subject of art styles, does anyone else notice how Mr. Griffin has made the females look more humanoid female anatomy? Specifically bailey and sasha? Bailey has created lines on her fur to give the optical illusion she has a certain body part when she d...

I have definitely seen better results by shrinking the iris a bit, here is the latest wednesday update: https://scontent.fosl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/87055245_2796580553758336_8352297543320731648_n.png?_nc_cat=107&_nc_ohc=71pxw7ufVN8AX_T1Xko&_nc_ht=scontent.fosl1-1.fna&oh=015fd6641...

I also just glanced back at the original arc and Marions window appears in several strips and it always looks closed.

There's a proverb: "eyes are the gateway to the soul". Its not wrong. How you draw eyes can make a character look like they have complex thoughts and emotions, or it can make them look dead inside. You don't want your characters to look dead inside unless it's intentional. I see, I will c...

MasterAbsinthe

There's also the matter of eyeshine. Normally when I draw eyes, the white light reflection covers at least part of the iris, not just the pupil. In a real eye, both the pupil and iris are in the cornea (which forms a hump on the eye's surface.) Unless the iris or the eyeshine are small enough not t...

I was going with the idea that Steward got in and touched the coin to Marion's arm while he was sleeping to change him. There's really no situation where a badger can sneak into a house while a bird can't. It would always be more effective to use a bird. Steward probably asked Trinket to find the f...

Big irises work with small eyes. Real peoples' eyes have most of what you can see covered by iris and pupil. But real eyes don't take up a huge amount of the face. Housepets characters have very big eyes. The result is not realistic (which is fine, bigger eyes can be more expressive, which can be m...

I think it's safe to assume that Pete can control the physical properties of the temple to some degree. He could very well have made the temple much lighter for transportation, or even shrink it. Also, in order to reach the temple, Peanut and Grape had to take a very specific path that Grape knew on...

Yeah, cartoony was probably a poor choice of word. I just meant that, as Diss pointed out, the big, bright irises don't really fit the current style I'm warming up to it! https://scontent.fsvg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/85087529_845850165827155_4343885384363540480_n.png?_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=j...

Hm, seems interesting. I prefer the iris-less version, but I'll save my judgement for your next edit when you draw them smaller. I'll give it my best! http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5001 Here you go! https://scontent.fsvg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/85087529_8458501...

Though I'm not sure since inside it does have a ton of floors which are elaborate and even if it is small it looked like it was made of stone which is gonna be a pain to move anyway.

Yup, they've been reduced over time. Though if it means anything, a recent guest strip involving Marion does show eye color that Rick confirmed is canon. They're purple. Not that it really matters, but do you have a link to Rick's confirmation? I need it for Marions wiki page. Also, I'm not an arti...
