"Jack Tregan" by Lauren A. Banks

And also, a special mention should go to those brave pens that tragically died during the making of this picture.Aye. They will be dearly missed. BOB, Billy Bob, and Allonzo were the type of pens that any pen would want to be. They went above and beyond the call of duty. *blinks* LOL. Okaaay...I think that I shouldn't have any more caffeine before bedtime, no? Thanks for all of your comments! Lol, even if the deceased pens do get more attention then the actual picture. *grins*

*pauses for the pens...*

Even though quite simple, it's still really good, the simple shape of the body, even if it is a black blob, is done really well you can make out that he's wearing a suit and everything. IT's only a small point, but you'd be surprised how many people find that hard to do and end up coloring a square. Good piccy!*Bagpipes play in the background* Aye. Poor pens. They served me well. *Sniffles* ^^ I think that I'll redo this pic, and use it for a shirt design, but I think I need a bit of his white paw showing so that it breaks up the black a bit. Thanks for the comment!

Tracy Butlr's Dustin!!!K anon, I've had enough trouble from you (Or someone with the exact same name ^^). You're actually claiming this looks like Dustin!?! Okaaaaaaaaay. Just 'cause he is the same species (but entirely different breed) as one of Tracy Butler's character's does not mean he is a rip-off. It may come as a shock to you, but yes, other people actually do draw cat's and dog's other than her (*gasp*)! Note to self: Do not let anonymous people comment in galleries.

anonymous *deep exasperated sigh* you need a swift kick up the wahoo ya hear me? 1) thats not dustin, doesnt even remotely look like dustin. And 2) if your going to yell plaguerism at least spell it correctly okay?

*coughs and clears her throat* This was strike two for you people that claim lauren is stealing artwork. The next cry of wolf is going to get sent directly to an elfwood mod and you will be dealt with. Anonymous or not! *has had quite enough!!!*I know! What are these people on? I mean honestly, now both Jack and Damon (who is a freaking calico CAT) have been called Dustin rip-offs. o_O Who's next? Mac? Cat? Zip!?! Ah well. We'll round up all the stupid people, put them in a pen and let them sterilize themselves on the electric fence next year. >

*shakes head and takes another deep breath* i dont know what is wrong with you people! this picture is nothing like Dustin! My gawd! *slams head on keyboard* i gwif mup!

Shandall: This is even irritating ME. THIS IS WRONG PEOPLE! STOP ACCUSING LAUREN OF STEALING WORK!!!

croux: *stares, ears flat, eyes narrowed* when i get my hands on that anon...I know. And I think (Could be wrong though) it's the same anon who went and bugged Amber. *Growls* I hate people who have nothing better to do with their time then to try and create trouble. Blargh. Ah well, Leona's told me to just delete any more comments, so I will. ^^

Ahem.. I am not saying That you "stole" Tracey's work. I am saying he REMINDS me of her work. But he is also very different. Very nice. He seems... blank. You are great with expressions.Ah well, I still can't say Jack looks like any of Tracy's chars. Poor guy is getting an identity complex! ^^ LOL, he does look rather blank here doesn't he? Well, he is usually rather sarcastic/witty/lively, but he does go through moods. Unless Kurt is nearby, then he's a whole other ball of wax...or is that a ball of yarn? Gar. Serves me right for using long dead expressions.

I am with the A.S.P.C.P. (american society for the prevention of cruelty to pens) and I am disgusted that innocent pen blood had to spill in the name of art!
Err... wait no. I'm not with that society! :-p
Great pic! I love the simplicity and the contrast! And I love Border Collies
My favorite herding breed along with Australian Cattle Dogs.

Wow, i love this. And i dunno bout the art or artists everyone else is referring to, but although the /style/ is familiar (as are many since there are so many people drawing these days it would be impossible for none to look alike no matter how uninfluenced by each other they were - you dont see people getting chewed out for drawing white unicorns, do you? And it looks only a /tiny/ amount like disney - and thats just cause theyre cartoon animals and disneys done plenty of them in various styles, personally i think your stuff is better as disney doesnt have the same visually pleasing proportions or credibility - you can tell they arent disney, dont worry!), it is still personal and very expressive, and i think its gorgeous. This is the sort of thing i wish my anthros came close to. I especially love your foxes, but this just made me think of resevoir dogs, and i instantly got that 'stuck in the middle with you' song in my head.
Not to say he was ripped off from there, of course ^_~ i dont think any of the real life humans in the movie were as nicely put together, and i dont think you even had that in mind, did you? Lol... Rambling... Talking too much. And my gallery has nothing in it as yet, im too new. :")
anonymous posters, btw, lack courage and are probably lying anyway. Somehow hiding behind 'anon' posts seems just so very cowardly, and gives the impression that someone does not entirely believe what they are saying, or at least are not willing to accept responsibility for it.
Sorry for all my rambling. I'll shut up now and leave you alone :")

Cool pic. (I thought I should do an overall comment considering Jack is very lacking.... )
Actually, now I can see why people have focussed on stuff.....it's far too good to find anything to criticise. I definitely wouldn't have the patience or imagination to do anything like this, so CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TALENT!

OMG I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!! if it were possible to marry a border collie, this is who i would marry... provided he would have me, of course (considering that his cat love interest is much cuter than i am... *sigh* yes i have spent a happy hour looking through your gallery ). your art is absolutely amazing!!!!! i love your style! im not a great fan of most furries, as they all seem rather too cutsie for me, but i love yours. they have so much personality!!!!! and i haven't seen anything like them before, so all the flamers can shut up. grrr. also, don't illustrate the redwall books. your ideas are much more interesting. seriously.
