Guide to Sparkle dogs [WIP, but posting's fine]

[Capricco]

(Also, do you think my character is a sparkle dog? She's in my signiture...I'm not quite sure myself...)

That is certainly not a sparkle dog. Not even a basic one. Sparkle dogs to me have 5 or more un-natural colors, and 4 or more accessories. They also have the punk/scene/emo hair. Think wolves/dogs/canines going clubbing.

There's a kind of 'sparkle dog' close to them. They're called Gloom Dogs. They are like the sparkle dogs, except with dark and... well... gloomy colors. So, basically, just go up to them and ask, 'Hey, what died in here?'. The 'FML, I want to die' people of the canine world.

Take this, for example. A contrast of Sparkle and Gloom dogs.

I AGREE 100 PERCENT SPARKLE DOGS ARE HORRIBLE MY EYES BURN AND I LOOKED IN THE MIRROT....THEY WERE RED!!!!

Please, no caps lock. :3

Since when have these colorings a name? But apart from that, I absolutely dislike them, and I won't tell you what I exactly think about them 'cause it may hurt feelings or be inappropriate.

From a loooong time ago; However, the name has gotten confused; Not all brightly colored animals are sparkle dogs.
If you want, feel free to PM me what you think of them. :3

Can I make an example of a REALLY crazy sparkledog?

(I've always wanted to and I need an excuse for it. XD)

Haha, go ahead. :3

Cool! This guide not only helped my with Sparkle Dogs, but what to do when someone on the forum is rude to you. ;D
I'm the kind of person who usually makes a mean response back xP
Saying nothing, or making the reply seem nice is a good idea

Hey, I really like this guide <3 I just wanted to say something, isn't it a Sparkledog also if it's got tons of accessories? E.g Wings, Horns, Bracelets, iPods, Piercings..
Because I don't think you listed that C:

I've never actually heard of a Sparkle Dog before.
Is there a difference between a Sparkle Dog and a wild fursona that represents someone's crazy side?

People who have sparkle dogs like that need to see a therapist. I personally like sparkle dogs, unless they're Spaggles. Spaggles, being the extreme, over the top sparkle dogs. Like this creature here. And this. It's people who like them who ruin the reputations of sparkle dogs. Everyone had a sparkle dog, until it was 'cool' to hate on them. Mainly because of those people.

I'd pay someone for designs like those. Just because I like insane designs, colours, and crap like that.

If people want to make sparkle dogs, why not?
I personally, don't see the big deal or fuss.

The first one I likes; The colors matched, didn't hurt my eyes and looked pretty creative. It's just the fact that it's hard for another artist to duplicate when getting more art of the character. D; But the second one...Holycrapcakes. Too many accessories, colors didn't match, and it had too many random crap on it. I hate those!

There are good, and there are bad sparkledogs.

If you really focus on a design, you can make it really good. The colors blend, perfect things here and there. Then there are the bad ones. Those people are inspired by the good ones. However, they rush it. They don't bother to care if it doesn't match, or if it's complete nonsense. Many of them that I see are to make fun of the whole sparkledog concept.

I usually love all sparkledogs. However, there is a type I don't like.

There are sparkledogs that are colorfully designed, and you'd imagined they'd be the happiest things on earth. Then you read the personality. They act like gloom dogs. Depressed, emo, won't stop crying.

The thing that bugs me the most is when people add a disorder to their sparkledog without doing any kind of actual research on that illness.
