I saw some dog drawings one day, and I thought, "Hmm... it would be fun to make a centaur from a dog. I bet someone did it already!". I googled and found none. Surprise! So I decided to do a couple of mythical creatures known as battledoges. I thought of a fantasy world where these cartoon dogs could exist and what professions they might have. Soon I ended up with a whole pack of cool drawings. I posted the cartoon characters, and people liked them. I was very surprised.

Things got rolling, and now I`m collaborating with amazing guys from Punga Miniatures, and soon we will launch a Kickstarter for D&D "The Deck of Many" battle dogs project by Cardamajigs. Also, there is an idea for a tabletop game.

And it all started from a simple and goofy 'what if...' idea of these mythical animals.

So folks, if you are inspired to do something unique, do it and share it with the world.

    ARBALIST (crossbowman) An arbalist, also spelled arbelist, is one who shoots a crossbow. (I learned a new word today!) The arbalest (also arblast) was a late variation of the crossbow coming into use in Europe during the 12th century. (Make that two!)

    The Borzoi is the top of the dog food chain... Appropriate as the dog of death...

    Creating unique characters is all about imagination and experimentation. When I thought of dogs as centaur-like creatures, I couldn't believe no one had done it before.

    Inspiration can come from anywhere, and just like those rare and extraordinary breeds of dogs, sometimes the most unexpected ideas stand out the most.
