This is, of course, a wonderful drawing. Let me get that out there first. But then, an overweight dog, especially a sled dog, is not more realistic at all really. Especially for the 1920s in Alaska and Canada. Maybe it fits in better with the fat dog concept the artists and animators of the first Balto movie wanted to sell us all on, but "fat Balto" would not be more realistic.

Still, all that aside, a very nice drawing.

Haha I dig chunky Balto. Now he fits in with all the other chubby huskies in the first film

He looks kind of the way Kirby would look as a wolf-dog.

Thank you!
I based him off of a czech wolf dog: http://dg4l0lhura2yj.cloudfron [...] ds/czechoslovakian_wolfdog.jpg and gave him a little of a thicker coat to go along with it, bringing out a bit more of the double coated husky.

This is a nice drawing, and I really like what you did with his eyes. But I do think he's a bit too chunky and short.
