Great characters! This reminds me a bit of my high school days when I'd take the weekly pet shelter photos in the local paper, and make each animal into a character, placing them in a short, often medieval-type setting. Of course, yours are about a million times better drawn. :D Each character looks like it could be a real cat or dog, because you really managed to keep them looking like the animals they are. Can't wait to see more about your project. :)
