I struggled to get the rim marbled without getting any black underglaze on the dogs. I had to cover it in sticky notes lmao. I really love the effect though, totally worth it.
I did two doodles because I love this breed already.
Doggust is a month dedicated to doggos drawinmg everyday!!
To all my followers, if your breed is on doggust prompt list, or not (it is fine anyway i dont need to follow the prompt), you can comment or DM me with your breed name and send me photo if you are shy enough to post your dogfie on social media.
For #MosaicMonday, here is Diego Rivera's (Mexican, 1886-1957) 1956 Exekatlkalli mosaic on the façade of La Casa de los Vientos (The House of the Winds, home of Dolores Olmedo) in Acapulco, Mexico. It was one of his last great works before his death. In addition to the depictions of the Mesoamerican deities Quetzalcóatl, Cōātlīcue, and Tlāloc, there is a Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless Dog) and a "Sapo-Rana" ("Toad-Frog" - a character based on Rivera's nickname).

The Xoloitzcuintle is one of several breeds of hairless dog. A Mexican dog named "Mee Too" made breed history as the first AKC-registered Xolo in 1887. Xolos can be seen in Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's artworks.
Taika added FDC to the end of her name (pending AKC approval)! Farm Dog Certification is basically the CGC but in a rural, farm setting. It's a good way to show that she has a stable temperament as she's required to calmly walk by livestock, strangers, farm equipment, across multiple different surfaces, etc. We also accidentally added an extra step when a barn cat decided to try chasing her 🤣
She did perfectly under two different judges!
Now she's Shae N Vidixium Love N Thunder CGCA TKN FDC (AKC Pointed)
First art piece in a while, I was working on a character sheet- but got stuck and decided to make a completely different one. Meet Cassie! She’ll be part of the trio in a webcomic I’m working on
