When updating the Houndmaster design for the monthly poll art, I decided I wanted to make some pretty significant changes to it. Left is the original design, middle is my previous remake concept, and the right is the new design, like usual.

The biggest change being the Hound, I wanted to make her less feral, mostly. As for the Houndmaster herself I changed her outfit somewhat, and reduced her breast size quite a bit because I wanted greater contrast between her and the hound, besides the usual artstyle updates.

But with this being such a significant redesign, I am curious to hear if you guys have any opinions about it, I'll make the actual monthly poll art soon.

Perhaps have the hound be sporting narrower hips? So,she's the opposite of her Master (Mistress?)

I don't do narrow hips / big breasts, don't really care for it

I think the houndamaster herself might be a little too bottom-heavy in design for how small her upper body is specifically her thighs are really fat for how skinny her waist and chest is. I kind of liked how feral the hound was before but I think this idea is interesting, I like how the new hound looks I'm just wondering how she will work in game, Will the hound still get on all fours for attack animations?

I personally liked the more feral hound than the bipedal one. The smaller bust and wide hips do fit nicely, however I like the outfit from the previous revamp design.

My opinions: The loss of the sleeves and breast reduction is a bit of a shame on the houndmaster, otherwise I see it as a strict upgrade. Maybe make her a liiiitle bit shorter, her height is comparable to the crusader from what I see, and I do think she should be shorter. For the hound, face and hair look better and I don't dislike her standing at all. I think she'll be better on all fours in combat however, don't know how much that'd influence how you'd actually want to make it. I also think that she should be naked regardless of what you decide to go with.

I'm thinking she is still gonna be on all four on the combat sprite, or something close at least.

Anything in particular in regards to the outfit?

Eldritch Horror

For instance, I like the sleeves on her older redesign. I always got the aura of a nonchalant dom and a suited design fits her imo.

The Houndmaster here is actually a decent bit shorter than the Crusader, but noted. I'm thinking the Hound is still gonna be on all four on the combat sprite, or something close at least. I'll do a nude version like usual, it's just not the base anymore.

Evil Tim

I feel like the dog should absolutely remain on all fours at all times. It's one of the details that make her great. She's an actual animal and behaves like one. I'll echo what James said in that I don't like the breast reduction. I don't have an opinion on the sleeves or lack thereof; both look good to me. I do like the hair on both of them too.

Yea that's just not the vibe I want to go for with the Hound, I will probably still have her on all four on the combat sprite though, or something close at least. I am curious what about the smaller breasts you dislike besides the obvious, because frankly I think it looks pretty good and I like the contrast it creates with the Hound. Also some more variety compared to most of my other designs.

I really love the bare shoulders that the new design has, it goes really nicely with the scarf imo I also think that the clothing and more bipedal design of the "hound" is a nice change, it helps show off her short stackfigure and I'm a huge fan, the more clawed look of the hands is also a huge plus! I will say that while I totally like the idea of the hound master being more bottom heavy to contrast the hound, she could stand to have a chest that's a little bit bigger I also really love how you've been altering the hair with these design updates, it's incredible to see how much improving you've done and I love it

One Sad Bear

I think most of the negative reactions to the smaller breasts (apart from the obvious) is more of a departure from your other designs, it doesn't look out of place on the design in a vacuum but it does will look odd when you put her next to the rest of your girls. That being said I much prefer this version of the hound master and the contrast both with the hound but your other mods

One Sad Bear

That being said I do think the full furry version of the dog does look odd with the clothes. However that may just be the colours, the human version however does look cute

The Lord of Turtles

In the old version, she looked like someone deep into a pet play or submission kink. Now she looks a pervert that picked up a runaway at the bus station.

Jadesword

I'm loving the houndmaster herself, but I perfer the dog girl on all fours

Flameflakes

Firstly, I'm actually just fine with the Houndmaster being relatively the same height as the crusader, hopefully a little shorter though. The smaller breasts also give her a bit more uniqueness. Especially considering that the humongous fabric-stretching sex mounds know seem to be nearly exclusive to the definitive mommies of the roster; Crusader, Leper, Flagellant and Mommy-At-Arms. With a handful of exceptions of course. In all seriousness, I have no issue with her. I really do hope she keeps her domineering 'bark for me pet' characterization in her posing. Speaking of barking, I should really transition to short-stack, who has finally been allowed to stand up, may I add. Honestly, I'm rather conflicted about this. On one hand, you can actually accentuate the fact that she is a tiny big titty monster. but on the other hand, having her on all fours was quite nice because it meant she constantly had her full-fledged bakery of a behind in the air where I could better admire it. In all seriousness though, I do believe that changing her posture by slightly leaning her forward and having her arms support her breasts from below or frame them on the sides would be quite nice. Mainly because it would allow her to be just a tiny bit taller and allow her to transition smoothly to getting on all fours for combat. It would also allow her to have unique and interesting poses while standing. A bit more 'personality' or 'character' if you will, as it would allow her to be able to emote and pose like a proper person while she is on two legs. Specifically contrasting her having the more animalistic 'puppy' poses in combat or at camp. However, these are all just suggestions, and I now just realized that this is longer than most of the papers I wrote to graduate.

I prefer old style.

Loving the new Houndmaster and the contrast the smaller breast size indeed creates with the Hound. That being said I'm in team old Hound (well at least when it comes to that idle pose)

DoctorPom

I like the new approach, plain and simple. You could be more adventurous with the hound pose, if it strikes you? E.g rather than obscure her front paws behind her figure, you could pose the arms front, folded-up with paws/claws in clearer view? Might be able to show of more hand detail that way?

xelswordart

Perhaps, I just have a bit of a habit of positioning the hands behind so it doesn't obscure the thighs.

DoctorPom

I get ya. Could be worth experimenting with shorter arms and more to the side of the chest, like a "W" profile with the arms - if that makes sense? Could draw a rough sketch if that helps to give you the idea?

DoctorPom

Sure, well whichever you decide obvs. I think it's good that you are sharing new ideas in the remakes. Look forward to what comes next 👍
