@Zachary-Drenski Yeah, dogs (even fat dogs) tend to have thinner legs, so that’s probably why my mind went there. Still so good though.

Okay...going to scrap this one and start over. Going back through some of my thumbnails this version will be more dynamic and I can work in Gadget. Let’s see if I can do this with ink when there’s no undo arrow!

This idea made me literally laugh out loud. Don't know why there are frogs in the electrical terminals, but I didn't notice them immediately. Sparky's foot looks a little feline to me...don't know if its the thickness of the ankle or how pronounced and sharp the claws are, but at first glance I thought it was a cat's foot.

Great concept though!

Decided to try to salvage this version of the ink before starting over to get some of the other edits incorporated. Softened the highlight on the nose and added more bubbles and lines in the water to delineate the liquid, but can only do so much to the surface of the water as far as sloshing goes without a total redraw.

Might do it again anyway because it's fun and it weirds people out when I explain whats going on.

Ha ha! Fun concepts but I really like the frankenpoodle version myself. Nice to see people going darker for October.

@chrisaakins Ha ha! Love that its name is "Fluffy"

Ah, good ideas. Thanks!

I love the idea, and the expressions are priceless. Does it even need to say anything on the bottle at all? Is the "water of life" specifically more important than the idea that there's someone at the end of the line who adds the secret sauce?

Okay, so I might be getting into semantics on this one but the way I read the October contest prompt "The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead." it's Penny that is super excited...Brian (the dog) is presumably less so.

Of course I want to draw a head in a jar, but am a little leery of ruining any progress so far by overdoing the fluid in the jar. Any suggestions on how to make it look like the jar is full of semi-opaque liquid without obscuring Brian too much? Kind of spoiled by the undo feature in digital...

@Miriam Ah, gotcha. Seems like this one seems to not only sets the stage but also dictates a few of the characters as well.

Love your profile avatar, by the way!
