Quick commercial - since I don't range wide on the internet, I much appreciate folks who post Rick's art from other sources. Thank, chums.

Don't forget he has a female form, though that probably wouldn't factor in anyway.

Funny to say they're both androgynous to keep the gender reveal ambiguous like canon.
http://valito.deviantart.com/ my deviant gallery, nope there's no housepets in it

Unless you like Lilo & Stitch, kinda wish to see the experiments in housepets style

Really? Marion does look like he has breasts, similar to when Grape was drawn in this style. Similar to how Lois has a pretty male-looking buffness to this body.

Granted, said body type has been used for characters like Gale in the Housepets style.

In his defense, I wouldn't be able to tell how feminine or masculine their bodies are until someone pointed it out to me.

In regards to the 2nd part of your comment, I think the two best examples of that body type in the comic are Gale, as you said, and Miles, with their most recent appearances linked for convenience. To me, it looks like with that body type, generally the pectorals are more rounded/drawn with slightly softer curves on the female, and there's a tuft of hair near the groin on the male that's absent on the female. Of course, that's not always the case in the comic, shown by this page where there essentially are no differences, though granted it was drawn 2 years ago and his style for the comic has changed slightly. The differences I just mentioned are more exaggerated in the style of the piece being discussed, in addition to the female body having less-defined abdominal muscles than the male.

Full disclosure, I'm not the biggest fan of Rick's more "mature" style as it tends to toe the sfw/nsfw line much closer than I like.

But like I said, I wouldn't be able to see them if I didn't have them specifically pointed out to me.

From his introduction, Miles always had a muscular physique. Over time, Rick's brought in other buff characters (Mungo, for example, or Cerberus) and, as his style has changed, some of the older, more "rubbery-cartoonish" characters have "buffed up" (Fox being a notable example or even Daisy). It's been kind of a general direction his other depictions have gone for a while now.

That actually does look really adorable despite the fact that it is supposed to be really spooky! For some reason I'm not worried that Were-Peanut will end up hurting me.

I don't think Grape is either. :mrgreen:

This was my request, and I love how it turned out. Right down to the tiny fox tail under his paw. :-)

To be fair, some animals do grow up with having a condition known as polydactyly so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see one pet or animal one day have an extra digit. :mrgreen:

You know, for some reason I was going to post my request by Rick, but didn't want to spoil the book. I feel silly. X3

Thanks, D-Rock for posting these. Loved the Grape/Max one i requested, the Peanut/Tarot kissies and the Rufus/Kitty Max <3

also got a kick out of the Jess/Zach towel one.

How do folks get Rick to draw a request? Something I've missed out on, I guess.

Also keep in mind that he does it on a request basis. While I think he promises one sketch per requester ever 4-6 months (I think) that number has extended a touch as he's had more patrons. He also tends to do them on a theme, though that's often just a word, like "Wet" or "Summer" or other basic idea.

Also, he said even if you request something, you might not actually get it. (There are rules, people!)

My favorites from the latest collection shared:

Max and Rufus
Max and Grape
Peanut and Tarot
Keene and Breel
Kix and Kitsune

They’re all good but those are my faves.

Is this the fabled Alpha-Housepets that Rick made with his brother?! :shock:

Yes. Yes it is. I found it on like, page 50 of Google on some site with a name I can't remember which was, by the way, filled with pop-ups while searching for something else entirely.

Hey, that’s actually how I discovered Housepets. Maybe the tenth page of looking up random wolf pictures.
