I didn't want to clutter up this thread with pictures, but there is a picture of the Schipperke wall covering in Riches Galore, where I think it looks quite splendid.  Thanks again.

Gheez, these are fabulous! Above and beyond what I imagined. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. The GSD one brings back so many memories - growing up we had GSDs since I was about 10 through to my 3rd year of university. I miss my little Keisha.

The Pie and the Patty Tin



The little dog from Beatrix Potter's tale of The Pie and the Patty Tin reminded me of a Schipperke (or possibly a black Pomeranian), so, thinking of Schipperke, I thought I'd share the public domain pictures, that I found, as a pattern that I thought might find a place in a child's room.



I had problems making the background to the pictures invisible, it kept leaving a grey edge, so have left the background to the pictures white. This means that it would be better not to recolour this pattern.



My model is not impressed; possibly, as most boys his age, he doesn't even like a hint of pink.



The Pie and the Patty Pan Toile



I loved the line drawings of the little dog.  I've coloured this red and cream so that I can easily spot it in my pattern drop-down box.  It can, of course, be recoloured to fit in with your colour scheme - blue and white looks good.

OMG!  Can't you just see a veterinarian build using these patterns on the walls?  Really, doesn't SV need a vet?  We could use kitty patterns for the kitty exam rooms and puppy patterns for those.  Awesome, Gheez!
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

Oh I agree, having a vet would be wonderful. A new Ambitions-type career to go along with the much anticipated Pets Expansion.  ;D

Thank you all for the lovely comments. I'm glad that you found something you liked.

I have just downloaded every single one of these patterns! Love them all, thank you so much!  :)

Er...If or when you are not busy and can take requests, can you please, please, please make a pattern based on labradoodles? It would make me (and my dog) very happy  :D

Labradoodles
« Reply #24 on: June 01, 2011, 04:22:32 AM »
Labradoodles

This is Jessica the Labradoodle.  Doesn't she have a lovely smiling face?



Jessica belongs to jessiethedog and she holds the copyright of the image used above and in the patterns.  The first image is the straight photo, the second has a canvas affect applied and the third has been tweaked to appear as a sketch.

I haven't been able to sleep so thought that I would create the promised patterns.  Unfortunately, I think the tiredness may have affected the outcome, as you will see.  :-[



Diddly Doodle



This pattern, suitable for your diddly sims, has been saved as Miscellaneous and is based on the Kitty Kuddle pussycat pattern.



The pattern is fully recolourable, though it may be advisable to colour each channel individually unless you want Jessie's whiskers to recolour.





Jess Canvas

This pattern has been saved as Miscellaneous.  It uses the canvas image of Jessica on a canvas textured background.

I expected it to look like this:





However, in game and in the pattern selection screen it looks like this:



It does actually appear lighter than the picture implies. This is a lighting failure on my part. I'm sorry.

The background can only be altered to black or grey.  Jessie's nose and whiskers can be altered to any colour.  It should have been the other way around, with the background recolourable.  *Shakes head at vagaries of CAP misbehaving though it is, undoubtedly 'operator error'*
 




Just Jess

This pattern has been inadvertently saved as Fabric. I expected it to look like this:





However, in game and in the pattern selection area it looks like this:



Only one of the colour channels functions.  Though I expect that it will be possible to alter the white squares to grey and black.





Jest Jess

I thought I'd colour the default in a style inspired by pop art and so I expected that this pattern, saved as Miscellaneous, would look like this:





However, the game decided that the colour scheme was just too much and, to save you the necessity of applying eye bleach, rendered the pattern default to this:



Instead of four, only one of the colour channels works.  The white squares may be darkened to grey or black.





I'm currently sharing the faulty patterns as they are because I didn't save the patterns in CAP, silly me, and will need to recreate them to rectify the problem and I'm too sleepy now, sorry.  I'm not completely sure but I believe that I should not have recoloured in CAP.  Either that or tiredness has led me to make a mistake somewhere along the way.

I also apologise for the dark, in-game, wallpaper pictures.  Now I think I need some sleep.

Bob Tails is an adorable pattern - Old English Sheepdogs are my favourite dog (more of a cat person really) and my dad's cousin had one called Belle who was so well trained she'd even listen to me, at the age of 4 or 5 asking for her paw to shake hands! I fell asleep cuddling into her when I was little.
I'm also fairly sure I rode her too. She was very patient and well behaved.
Grr Argh!

Chihuahua Cuties



This pattern has been saved as Misc.  It uses 'free to use' vector clipart (from multiwp.com) that I converted for use in CAP.



Background and the circular details may be re-coloured. Re-colouring all the circles, to match the background, will leave the pups against a plain ground.

Oh, my head!  No chihuahua was ever this cute!  And I can't download this one yet, either.  Stupid broken computer.

Hope that they mend your computer soon, Pam.

They're incredibly cute. I'm sure that the pups must be by the same artist as the one who created the kittens. They're all so adorable and it's wonderful that they're free to use. There may be more puppies and kittens to come  ???



PS  I've just noticed that, whilst converting the vectors, that I've inadvertently made the highlights in pup's eyes transparent.  I won't notice this in my game but those of you with good graphics cards might.  Does anyone wish me to correct the pattern file?
