As I said, it might be the lighting - or the eyebrows.

Ac.

Ethnic restaurants in Nome. Suuuuuuure. Shall we discuss a list of restaurants that were commonplace in Nome? At least during the gold rush era (which wasn't too long before the serum run, when it comes right down to it)?

I know I know...you're being ha ha funny. LOL I get it.

Thanks guys. Balto isn't meant to be vicious in this as it is a direct copy from the screenshot of the same quote so more cheeky really. He is shiny though as he has been rolling around out back of Nome's top Italian restaurant in a vat of used olive oil. This makes Balto faster for the dog race and slippery so the other dogs can't get ahold of him and slow him down as well as giving him a nice glossy coat. This back fires on Balto when he slides off on the bend in a greased up mess making him slide much further on the ice than a normal non-greased up dog would.

I don't see vicious at all. Ac didn't draw the muzzle to be furrowed, which is the standard signal canines (even animated canines) give to show that they are angry or in an aggressive mood). You're being thrown off by the angle of the eyebrows, which are a standard feature in the Balto characters (especially Balto himself), and the toothy grin combined with those. You're thus mistaken in that interpretation.

I think it's a fantastic job, Ac! Balto looks a bit...shiny, but otherwise this is excellent!

Nice artistry, but to be honest he looks a tad too vicious to me. Maybe it's the lighting.

really really nice shading and expression B))
