Cute Critters

I had a spare hour to myself yesterday afternoon and decided I'd give it a try at making a cartoon image of the boys together and hopefully create ourselves a new a Blog Badge. We've had our current badge for approx 5 years now and it's so basic, although easily recognisable

Boris was fairly easy to generate being a solid black, but it took me several attempts to get Eko's face markings anywhere near what he looks like in real life, but try as I might I struggled to get Eko's cute white paw, if I did manage to get his white paw I'd then lose the white blaze on his face, it was really strange how it had to be one or the other and not both

Photo Description - A cartoon image of a Black Cocker Spaniel and a Golden Cocker Spaniel playing in a muddy puddle and looking at each other, with the words Two Crazy Cockers written in white across the bottom. The colours are very bright and loud which is common with cartoons 

Eventually I decided that as it's a cartoon it's a representation of the boys and didn't have to be an exact match, eventually I came up with an image that I really liked but felt it was just a bit too bright for my taste

Photo Shop to the rescue and I knocked the colour down to mute out all the brightness, I really loved the effect it created for this next image as the colouring looked a lot closer to real life without being in your face like the previous image

The colours in this image are a lot more neutral and Eko looks a lot nearer to his beautiful natural colouring

I then knocked the colour down even more to black and white and loved that one too, now I have a dilemma on my hands. I have three images that I really love, but can't decide which one should I use as our blog badge?

They all have different things going for them and I really can't decide which one to use, or maybe I could use them all but for different things

Do you have preference at all?
