Housepets!

DDeer

Thanks both, good to be back, had a tough time recently but feeling more my old self. I was going for a muscular look (most equines are!) need to work on more expressive manes, hair is hard!

DDeer

A fan of Sasha, a great character, clever use of blurring to create depth there.

Not drawn for a while, been pretty burnt out and not in the mood but here's a dapper dappled chap. Stable hair but he's running with it.

hickory smoke sauce is a weakness of the Skipperkee breed.

Hooooray! That’s fantastic news Weston, I take it Skipper is none the worse for his adventure.

DDeer

We had several sightings of our dog today. After four straight days and nights of freezing, wet wather, we're happy to have some evidence that he's alive and active after all. However, he remains at large. So pleased to hear some promising news, here’s hoping you are reunited soon. It looks like he...

DDeer

Thanks for the update Weston, hoping for the best. My heart goes out to you, hope you find him soon.

DDeer

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Weston and hoping for some good news, I hope Skipper returns to you safe and sound soon, with any luck he has found somewhere warm and dry to shelter.

DDeer

Hope the tendons on the mend.

Watching the new Pokémon series, not half bad if you ask me, Mrs Deer a fan of Sprigatito. Got the log fire going, cold here, ground is pretty hard. Watching the Blackbirds root for insects in the last of the Autumnal leaves.

DDeer

Happy new years and brilliant work! From a distance it looks just like a photo - it's like what Impressionist painters did, preying on the audience's distance (and eyesight) to make large brush-strokes appear disturbingly realistic. Also, although it was (probably) unintentional, I appreciate you l...

DDeer

Great pic of Nadia and Daisy, like the line style. I really liked Daisy in the comic, a canine of few words but I think that made her all the more enigmatic. The drawing of Santa is intriguing Harry, like the blurred background, always helps to add depth. Not drawn for a while, too busy I'm afraid b...

DDeer

Just know that however long it takes won't be as long as it took between Bambi and Bambi II. Bambi was released in 1942 (or as I like to say, when Weston finally came of age. XD) and the sequel was released in 2006. That is 64 years. If I remember right that was a record for longest time between a ...

Playing a few Christmas tunes.

DDeer

Have a great Christmas all!

DDeer

I think you’re right Weston, I’ve heard of the name damselfly but didn’t realise this is what they were, doing a bit of research apparently the way you can tell them apart is size and the fact that damsel flies tend to fold their wings back when resting. Thanks for the heads up! I’ve heard dragonfli...

DDeer

Amazing photos Chieris, glorious iridescence! I didn't know you got Preying Mantis over there Weston, they seem highly exotic and otherworldly to me. Oh, they were wonderful, DDeer. They were like tiny dinosaurs. Mom let me keep one in a small terrerium, the deal being no more than one at a time an...

Saw this fellow on my wanderings recently, I always like corvids, not sure what variety this is, they seem to have plenty of character, clever birds, we are fortunate to have some Blackbirds that nest in our garden. Beautiful imperfection.jpg Ravens/Crows can remember your face and seek revenge. Al...

These neo-neo-revolutionists sound like my kinda guys. I too like old buildings and am a complete idiot :) It’s good to have buildings of different age architectural styles. I always find it strange in sci-fi when all the buildings on a planet look like they were built yesterday. I’d imagine that t...

DDeer

Welcome back Weston! Glad that the recover is going well, take it easy! I am partial to an Earl Grey with a dash of milk when the mood takes me. Thanks, DDeer. Still got a bunch of check-ups and I'm on activity restrictions this week, but I can still walk the dogs. ;) Great, how are they settling in?

DDeer

I am the exact opposite of that statement. When I think of coyotes, I never considered them in the UK. I do know that they are obviously there though like other wildlife. I'm afraid we don't have any Coyotes Amazee, they seem to be confined to the Americas, we don't really have many big predators a...

Wishing you a speedy recovery, hope all went well.

DDeer

Coyotes have spread steadly throughout the United States over the last twenty years or so. There's a lot of debate about the causes of their spread but they've definitely succeeded in establishing their presence. They've also become emboldened to enter human communities where they've been known to ...

DDeer

That's intriguing I didn't realise any herds of white Deer existed, had a quick search, the photos of them look amazing, I really hope the Coyotes don't make too much of an impact, over here there are really very few predators to threaten Deer, I guess it is a different story in the US, I hadn't eve...

DDeer

Thanks both, just getting some of my 5 a day! I tried grass beer (a bitter not a lager) once, bright green, did taste of grass, I kinda liked it, never seen it again sadly.

DDeer

Thanks for the kind comments, to follow (or fallow?) on from that I also got a snap of a dark brown Fallow, this colouration is rarer, he seemed quite popular with the ladies judging by the number hanging round him :-). A tricky shot to get as us Fallows are shy types and like to hide behind trees, ...

DDeer

Those photos look amazing Hlaoroo!! Are those Wallabys? I've been playing about with an old digital camera I picked up a while back, it's a bridge camera so you can change quite a few of the settings, I have very limited knowledge of photography but here is a pic I took recently I'm fairly happy wit...

DDeer

Still not seen Balto, need to get around to watching it some time, finally got Around to seeing Bambi recently (never saw it as a kid), a good film, read the book first, both have their merits. Love Shiba Inus, it's the curly tail again and amazing colouring again, just finished reading Doomsday wit...

DDeer

Two weeks ago, we brought a pair of Skipperkes from the shelter, both males and brothers from the same mother but different litters. Thus, one is older and just slightly larger than the younger. They came from a pretty gruesome hoarding situation. I'd kinda hoped to get another sheltie collie like ...

DDeer

Glad to hear Mrs Weston is o.k. and it was nothing too serious, hoping she is fully recovered and up and about, it galls me how bad healthcare seems to be getting the world over, medical science is making leaps and bounds but the number of people that can receive it seems to be dropping. I am foreve...

DDeer

Love the curly coat tails, Seussesque. The crazy looking flower is pretty cool, looks like something Willy Wonka would cultivate. Tried a more cartoony, large eyed style for this one. I also messed about with pastel brushes. Our protragonist has been discovered having a light snack and is just wonde...

DDeer

Late I know but that Willy Wonka drawing is superb Harry! Really captures the zaniness and quirks of the character I think. The walking stick/staff is a nice touch.

Just started playing Endling on the Switch, highly recommend it, a warning, the game has it's darker elements but I think it's pretty well thought out and novel. You get to play as a fox looking after your cubs in an apocalyptic world, hunting to find food and avoiding hunters, you even have smell s...

Digging the capsule designs Rocky!!

Felt in the mood for a sketch, this Doggy is quite happy to pose for a drawing, provided she has a toy to chew on.

How to Dragon your train made me smile, a novel idea, not come across this before. Loving the drawing of Macabre, the eyes make it I think, can see the concentration of a true musician! Some good line work on those two sketches and I like the poses, very dynamic. Happy Pride Hlaoroo, great art work ...

DDeer

Well, that's the ending for a while I guess, still mulling on how it all concluded, pretty hard to tie up all the loose ends in a comic that has run this long I would imagine. Whilst there isn't going to be a regular HP comic strip hoping there will be more short run or spin-off Housepets! based sto...

That disguise may need a bit of refinement I suspect. Also the accent/dialect may give the game away. Great art there from Micho there Hlaoroo, looking at this and his other work a unique and quirky style, always like to see a drawing of a fellow dappled dude. As we got to the beach a while back I w...
