Doug of ThoseShirts.com sent me this image:

So far that’s the image that best resembles what I want for the Chomps t-shirt. Only, it would need to look angrier (it’s an angry dog, all right, but Chomps is the world’s angriest dog).
Someone already offered to take a shot at drawing Chomps, and I was wondering if anyone else would want to try. I’ll show what I get sent, and, if one is so good it gets used for the t-shirt, you get fame, immortality, and a free t-shirt of course.
If I can get the right image, this t-shirt could be so cool…

I pooped my self, and that dog scares the crap out of me, I would hate to see chomps.
I edited the picture to make it look angrier, let me know what you think:

Don’t worry sir, that dog won’t hurt you.
Won’t hurt me? Hell, even if it won’t, it would make me hurt myself! Holy Crap!!
i’d model that Chomps for sure.
I thought Chomps is a Rot – am I mistaken ?
If I could draw I’d make his head a little beefier.. hmmmm..is beefier a word?
That’s a good one! And it doesn’t infringe on Emporer Misha. Maybe make the spikes on his collar more pointy.
It looks like a Doberman Pinscher with uncropped ears rather than a Rottie.
I would like him a little beefier too… which I’m pretty sure is a word.
Evil Midnight, I LIKE the red eyes. That’s a touch we definately need.
I thought Chops was a boxer
Nah, that picture is nowhere scary enough. Evil Midnight’s is an improvement, but Chomps needs to have an expression of supreme anger.
I could send you a picture of my ex-wife. She’s an angry b*$#@. Would that do? 🙂
I dunno – I always saw Chomps as rather cute with angry moodswings. He was this docile Rottweiller who went nuts when he got angry, but I never really saw him as this dog. Oh well.
Looks like a Doberman, and Chomps is supposed to be a Rottie.
Chomps would be mad at this mistake.
If you want to make him look angrier couldn’t you make him look muslim or something, aren’t they always angry about something? Well, them and the NAACP.

I drew this with a PowerPuff Girls pencil. Yay!
Why do dogs lick themselves? They can’t make a fist
Maybe this could be “happy Chomps”.
Evil Poster..
I love the glowing red eyes.. But the V over Chomps brow makes him look a bit like; “Bert, the worlds angriest Muppet”
No Disrespect intended.. I like Bert – he always reminded me of my Granpa Dale – WWII Frogman (yep, that was the word he used, never knew what it meant. But that’s what he said he was.)
I thought CHOMPS was a Pomeranian? Besides, he needs drool,,lots of drool, a littel meat in the teeth wouldn’t hurt either.
Brian I think you did a great job!! Best I’ve seen yet..
In WWII, Navy Frogmen were the guys that hit the beaches before we launched the attack. Their job was to clear obstructions and mines before the troops landed.
It didn’t get any more dangerous. They were dropped offshore from subs or small boats and had to sneak in (swimming, just under water) and set explosives on that stuff to keep it from damaging landing craft or slowing down the assault.
They evolved into the Underwater Demolition Teams (just called “the Teams”), and eventually the best of the best became modern day SEALs.
I’ll bet Granpa Dale was one tough SOB.
Dave in Texas,
Granpa Dale was the most tough and irascible S.O.B. ever to walk the planet, and my Brother and I loved him for it (that man had a certain strength of will that was to be admired, that was all we knew.) He never wanted to talk about what he did, and I didn’t think it polite to press.
He died earlier this year and I miss him dearly. I never knew what it was that the frogmen did before..
Thank You.
LokiDoki,
Sorry for your loss. It’s sad that these fine men and women are passing from our lives.
My dad was in the Teams during Korea. He doesn’t talk about it either. I know he was wounded at a place called Hungnam, where they loaded the 1st Marines who had fought their way out of Chosin. A few years ago I asked dad what it was like, and all he would say was “it was pretty cold”.
It was December of 1950. He was 19.
I would do It Frank, but I lack the tools to transfer sketches to computer (kinko’s use PC, and I got kicked-out of art school for thinking too much).
That’s about how I pictured him though.
The red tint creates an aura of scariness. Do the final in a similar color scheme
If someone wanted to dress up like Chomps, you could start with this:

You would need to add fangs and red eyes, but it’s a start.
I’m not sure which is scarier: Chomps or that someone would make a Rottie costume.
