>>40049792If you’re going for a water type dog, I would suggest using various aquatic mammals as an inspiration, and not just taking a regular retriever and painting it blue.
There’s an Irish mytho creature that’s called Dobhar-chú, it’s supposed to be a mix of a giant otter and a dog with some fish-like elements such as the tail and fins. I recommend you looking into that, it would make your design more ambiguous and real looking compared to a cartoon version of a dog.
