What IS a Sparkledog?

[Maplesong]

To me a sparkle animal are people who use neon colors and act like they rule the world because of it. I don't call wolves who don't look like wolves irl sparkledogs i just call the wolves but not realistic wolves. I have loads of wolves/lions that have red and green and stuff but its not ALL neon and bright.

I'd say anything with noticably unnatural colors can be considered a sparkledog (including the legions of red and black wolves), but even more so with neon, scene hair, and two tons of accessories. That said, I also think not all sparkledogs are bad; I've seen some that are really pretty and/or cool. My only pet peeve is when people combine colors willy-nilly with absolutely no concept of which combinations might induce vomiting. I swear, magenta-and-chartreuse anything should be banned...

Sparkledogs...

I always find it has a negative connotation. I don't think just any character with unnatural colors is a sparkledog.
"Scene" dogs are usually (but not always) sparkledogs in my book. I don't mind them, I don't have problems with them, people can make whatever characters they want. :3 Though I wish they would be more educated on color choices sometimes, it's not really my business to tell people to change their characters because I know my color wheel and they don't.

This, to me is a sparkledog (art by the creators, etc):

Unnatural MARKINGS but not colors does not make a sparkleanimal for me.

Tons of accessories does, however, might. x3

^ Yeah.
Although that last one, gughughrghr the piercings in the ears. But yeah I wouldn't consider it a sparkle thing. Now the ones linked before it most definately.

Sparkledogs refer to canines that have unnatural colors, either bright red or dark red  any color you wouldn't find in a dog or wolf or any canine for that matter is considered a Sparkledog. Say you have a red Husky for a character in FH and in real life they're like this brown-ish somewhat orange color, but in game you make the red Husky literally RED. >Like this text.<

Most Sparkledogs have really unrealistic markings and they're colors are unnatural, as said above. While their fur/hair/tail can be colossal, their legs would be super tiny. And even their anatomy can be screwed up. Not to mention ridiculous accessories.

What I think about sparkledogs most of them are horrifying. (Not to be mean, just my opinion) But rarely do they have decent designs. But I don't hate them. Few actually look nice and decent.

On dA they have a group of them. Check it out: http://sparkledogs.deviantart.com/

most sparkle dogs have hardly any decent markings, and actually, some sparkle dog said i looked like one because of my wolf had RUST colored dalmatian marking being half dalmatian, the rust color from being a wolf and they can be that color, and the color of white being half dalmatian *facepaw* and this one was neon yellow, neon blue and neon green

Huh....so, what should I do to have my character not shunned by anyone? I don't want my character to be too boring or too sprakly.....Geez, it's hard to please everyone! >:

Characters aren't just about looks, it's about personality too. Characters don't have to look like a unicorn barfed on them to be interesting.
