Based of this 25 Expressions MEME:
![25 Essential Expressions by napalmnacey]()
I admit, I had this Expressions MEME chart shelved for well over a year! Mostly because I wanted to shade this and felt like I could have drawn this expressions a bit better. Some turned out better than others.
Among my favorites of Sarah's expressions here: PLEASED, CONFUSED, WTF?!, SERIOUS, CONFIDENT, DRUNK, DISGUSTED and (perhaps the cutest) ILL/NAUSEOUS. (Even her fur color is dulled a bit to make her look sick.)
I guess if anything this could be a template to borrow the many expressions for this character from. Expressions to build off of now that my style keeps improving.
Sarah is both comedy and drama rolled into one being Carmelita's new and eager partner. When I drew this; I envisioned her as the clumsy but loveable character who Carmelita will groom and tolerate more over time a mentor.
However....upon seeing The Lego Batman Movie recently...I might actually make Sarah bit more competent and surprisingly good at her job when Carmelita gives her an order. She was starting down this route when I first saw Judy Hopps trying to prove herself in Zootopia.
But Robin's role in The Lego Batman Movie is definitely the one that had me thinking differently. Somewhat annoying and enthusiastic but also incredibly competent to where even Batman is impressed. That is something to definitely take note of!
Plus the story she is in has a lot more complex narratives and characters to go through. So wasting my time trying to make Sarah evolve from clumsy to competent isn't all that necessary.
But one thing is for sure; her cute and sometimes childish persona hasn't gone anyway. That definitely stays because as an anthropomorphic dog; she acts like a real dog too. As indicated by this previous pic I did of her sniffing the ground:
![Sarah Brendhart Skills Chart by shinragod]()
I wanted Sarah to be Carmelita's opposite in personality; but not in competence. Having Sarah surprise Ms. Fox and have her reluctantly accept her not only speeds things up but develops their bond quicker and makes for a good dynamic.
So I will refer to this Expressions chart again when I want to draw Sarah and her many moods in my more recent and updated style.
Hope the charisma shown here has endeared some of you to her a bit more too; especially with what i have planned for her. ;D
