Eddie Sheltie in this picture is the only dog cop in a city full of cats. Where he's about a medium sized dog, average height. The cats here all come to his chest. Just to make him stand out more he has a bright yellow sport coat over a Hawaiian shirt and pretty much plays the routine investigations officer. Though contrary to popular belief instead of being a hard nosed cat chaser, he's a big goober and gets along well with others.
On a personal note I hadn't drawn this guy in years. He started out as my first deviantart avatar and I wanted to pull him back closer to the humble Shetland sheepdog I'd grown up with that had been the source of my inspiration for this guy.
Thanks. I had a dog who was a real Mama's boy when I was a kid. He inspired me to do a character after him back in hmmm . . . 2008? I was into mystery stories thinking I'd be the next Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In reality I was a nerd with a full sized sheltie for a lap dog. This was his revamp.
interesting story and concept...
