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.

I have goods if you have coin. *Ahem* I am down here good Sir! *Harrumph*
Oh!! this one reminds me of Dartacán y los tres Mosqueperros!! (Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds) Loved it!
A great dane would be a wizard, though. These are really well done.
Love it but wish he didn't have that Scooby Doo look on his face - Great Danes are actually very dignified looking dogs!
My Dane was a lovable idiot who perpetually thought i needed to be herded somewhere. I'm not sure how effective a dane spell would be! Could all turn out to be hilarious mistakes!
Perhaps the artist was going for more of the centurion look?

These are super cool and I love the artwork, but for some reason I cannot define, I find the additional appendages unnerving.
You are used to the Earth-type of 4 limbs. Being a fantasy/SF type, the 6 limbs don't bother me. Just out of curiosity, do the 4-legged, winged dragon depictions also bother you, or is it only the mammalian types that do?

I am SO incredibly happy that someone finally included a Spaniel!!! It's so rare anyone does!
They are amazing just the way they are! What an interesting idea you have here! Keep up the good work! Maybe one day we'll see another animal :D
"I saw a dog one day and I thought, "Hmm... it would be fun to make a centaur from a dog."" You did good, only that a centaur has a human head. Centaur-5b...950030.jpg 
His art, his vision. I think they're awesome. (And awwww-some as well, but that's me.)

Ok, now I just need a movie/series based on these characters, then I can die in peace.
The creepiest thing about centaurs is they have two rib cages. Centaurs really don't make any anatomical sense to me. Why not have an exoskeleton? Mammalian bodies have so many weak points.
If I remember correctly, centaurs arose from somebody seeing one of the Eastern nomad tribes coming for them hell-for-leather, and didn't bother to stick around to catch the details. So what got reported to (Ancient Greece, I believe) was the man/horse hybrid. And as far as thee human face--there's a reason why ugly is called 'horse-faced'! (I love horses, but pretty-faced they are not by human standards.)

Evident D&D inspiration, but I like it. (Also inspired by dnd is not a bad thing)
I'm writing a story revolving around these drawings on Wattpad. I hear nikita orlov is making a game of these. So would my story now be a fanfiction? Or still just a story inspired by art?
In a story I wrote about these drawings, I had a character be a boarder collie. He is a blacksmith! Collies take up quite a few characters lol

I think they are really cool but if I find something later that I can have a little whinge about I'll make sure I do instead of just letting it slide
Words cannot describe how much I absolutely adore these, thank you for blessing me
All very fun and creative. More breeds please. I'd like to see more ahem, bitches, using the term correctly.
Love it! The only thing missing is a brave Border Collie (maybe a military commander) and a fleet-footed Shetland Sheepdog. This one will be on my gift list!
I heartily recommend you turn this into some sort of video game. Something WOW or Skyrim-like, but with these dogs as designed. The player can choose his or her own breed and add/change clothes/armour/weapons as the game goes on. That'd be cool. Great work
They are amazing, but it looks like there's two of the dogs stuffed in these coats :D
This could be a great cartoon, in the same vein as Thundercats. Could be mystical, historical, touch of futuristic. Wondering what new breeds will be incorporated in future episodes would be fun. Love the centaur look. Gives it a unique weirdness and would make the animation, Battles, and fighting skills really interesting. You should pitch it!
Uhhhmm, did you mean Battle Dogs or Centaur Battle Dogs? Liked it either way and the art is lovely.
These are amazing, loved every single one, I wanna see more!! A rottweiler!!
The fact that all dogs have 6 legs really bothers me. I can't go any further.
