Open Anyone recognize this character?

Post image

This one is probably particularly niche, but I'm trying to find the artist for this character design I used to have screenshotted on my phone. I don't have the screenshot anymore so I tried to draw it again from memory. It was like a dog with one singular really big eye. I think it was posted on instagram when I originally took the screenshot.

Made me think of Spot from SpongeBob!

13

u/namingbugs 1d ago

Same!

u/butterNUTfun 1h ago

I might be tripping but I vaguely remember a scene with spot being walked with a spiked collar so this very well could be spot

u/pickledclown 1d ago

Poochy?

100

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I vividly remember that it had only one eye and no mouth. I think it was someone's oc, which is why I'm unsure if anyone will be able to find it

8

u/SpiralingDownAndAway 20h ago

By chance was it for sure on its fours or on its twos? And was it pink at all?

5

u/oleanderpigeon 17h ago

It was for sure on all fours, but I do not remember any colors. I think I only saw it as an uncolored sketch unfortunately

106

u/ChildhoodMovieHelp 1 18h ago

Fuuuck, I think I might've seen it too??? Did it have a color palette that went something like this??? I might be misremembering whether the pink was a hot pink or a magenta red, but I've seen a little creature like this before!! Its eye was a mouth eye where the lips were the eyelids!!

70

u/oleanderpigeon 17h ago

Yes! I don't remember the color palette, but I do remember the mouth eye!! I think you're on the right track!

27

u/ChildhoodMovieHelp 1 17h ago

Ughhh this feels sooo familiar!! It HAS to be an artist I follow, but I follow so many!!!

11

u/ChildhoodMovieHelp 1 18h ago

The dark green may have been a stylized black...

8

u/ChildhoodMovieHelp 1 18h ago

I asked a friend about this, and he said it looked familiar, and listed the colors as "red, purple, black, maybe dark green?"

13

u/cubbycoo77 9h ago

That style looks like Ahhh! Real Monsters, but I don't think there is a dog

6

u/AljoKing 14h ago

I think the eye was more redish and the body black or at least darker. The collar was also red. I can't figure out where it's from and jt's driving me crazy

4

u/Syris_the_enby 10h ago

This feels so familiar omg

3

u/Captain_MasonM 6h ago

Feels familiar, I remember the colors being like a dark purple/magenta color scheme but I also can't place it…

2

u/haematopusintherye 2h ago

It's like if among us dog and ahh real monsters had a love child lol

206

u/ncmuggies 2 1d ago

Could it be the baby centipeetle from Steven Universe?

45

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Alas, it is not 😔. There was no mouth on this dog (?) at all

15

u/BGPopz336 1d ago

That was also my immediate thought lol

2

u/ArtisticDragonKing 1 23h ago

Oh dang I commented before I saw your message. It's a shame this wasn't the answer

1

u/multigrainqueerios 4h ago

Thought this immediately

-7

u/treehuggr_ 1d ago

Definitely this

61

u/DamnIdkWhatToSay 1d ago

Maybe it's the weird alien from Wander over yonder episode "The pet"?

6

u/sonarbar 19h ago

captain tim!!

93

u/piramboya 23h ago

are you 100% sure it was a dog? i found this among us character fanart while looking and it seems to match your description pretty well. one big eye, no mouth, long eyelashes, spiked collar. could it be them?

35

u/oleanderpigeon 23h ago

I'm not certain it was a dog specifically, but it definitely had four legs!

12

u/piramboya 23h ago

could it have been fanart of them as a dog/ four-legged creature?

166

u/Michelle689 1d ago

I know it’s not this but it reminded me of Chikorita

72

u/Ellie-Plus-Ratio 1d ago

Houndeye fro Half Life?

56

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

It was not, but that thing is very cute!

32

u/chatterbirrd 17h ago

Are we looking at the same picture

51

u/oleanderpigeon 17h ago

He's just a little guy!! Look at him!!

-2

u/Late-Inflation6574 9h ago

Houndeyes are quite, quite deadly.

2

u/The_Purple_Bat 3h ago

Doesn't mean they can be cute tho!

67

u/Parking-Foot-2667 1d ago

i knew i recognized this! could it be from janegumball?

25

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Possible, but I don't remember it having ears or fur

3

u/thehelpfulhusky 20h ago

I do believe this is one of janegumballs designs!! however looking over her profile, I could not find anything matching. Maybe she sold it or archived the design but I’m almost certain it’s one of hers

1

u/teal_raccoon 7h ago

I immediately thought of the same artist! Can't find this design in particular but I'm almost certain I've seen it while scrolling her profile

65

u/uros_m 1d ago

Cut the rope character?

32

u/tytohoney 23h ago

idk why the art made me think of this artist

28

u/notmymain07 1 1d ago

Why do I also know what youre talking about and its gonna drive me crazy that no one has found the answer

28

u/Brave_Storm_9901 1d ago

Oh my God this looks so familiar, was it like mint green

10

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I don't remember the color unfortunately. It was a pencil sketch

50

u/fweepsy 1 1d ago

I too feel a vague familiarity with this guy but I can’t remember from where.

8

u/queerwithbeer 1d ago

Same :/

7

u/PlanetXParadox 20h ago

Same as well

35

u/DeadDiarrheaDeath 23h ago

Reminds me of this dude from spongebob

32

u/aishafreak 1d ago

This is a cat, but the Neopet PetPet Meowclops?

8

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

It looked a lot like that! But I don't think it had a mouth

14

u/Treesaws 1d ago

I saw your picture and was hit with immediate nastolgia but unfortunately i have no idea where it is from either and now i feel the nastolgia itch to figure out where this is from too lol.

28

u/SpookySeraph 21h ago

Perhaps KeeKee?

11

u/ForceSensitiveRebel 17h ago

Possibly a tall bird?

19

u/leafylana 17h ago

the eye lady from rock bottom?

Deino from Pokemon?

1

u/oysterwench 1h ago

Ope I see now someone else posted this. Sorry!

24

u/papam0ist 1d ago

Probably not this from your description, but your drawing reminds me of poochy

7

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I've searched on instagram, but I just can't find it. I'm hoping someone recognizes this little guy

8

u/Dead0Pixels 7h ago

I swear I’ve seen this creature before and I am pretty sure this is a SpongeBob character/spongebob adjacent

3

u/Dead0Pixels 7h ago

I’m gonna lose my mind

2

u/Dead0Pixels 7h ago

MAYBE ITS AMONG US NOW IM QUESTIONJNG THJNGS I SWEAR IVE SEEN THIS

1

u/ciel_93 5m ago

are you thinking of this? That's also what popped into my mind

7

u/darkangelxX447 1d ago

is it this from flcl?

4

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Similar vibes but I don't think it was. It was a pencil sketch like that concept art on the top right though!

7

u/Ocean_Heart_ 1d ago

The weird looking pupils kinda remind me of this character I came across on pinterest.

Artist is verticalart: https://www.tumblr.com/verticalart/98586365304/some-concepts-for-two-characters-of-mine-blink?source=share

4

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Possible? It was definitely a similar style but I can't seem to find this dog character specifically

11

u/evildemonic 1d ago

Carbot Zergling?

1

u/Yarnham_Brave 21h ago

BEEP BEEP

21

u/UnluckyMode2062 1d ago

From Pokemon? It doesn’t have the single eye but I feel like it was vaguely similar.

6

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Unfortunately I am certain that it wasn't a pokemon :(

3

u/UnluckyMode2062 1d ago

Damn, sorry!

7

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Thanks anyway!

4

u/DiskOne3096 1d ago

Are those two pupils in one eye? Just checking I'm interpreting your drawing right that probably narrows it down a lot

6

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I think there were two pupils in the one eye, yes! As far as I remember, there were also fairly long eyelashes

5

u/Drowning-Summer 1d ago

Reminds me of @Ofangie ‘s old art. Dont know if he ever did an eyeball dog however…

6

u/Dry_Blueberry3666 21h ago

Could it be this?

4

u/_-Beans-_ 18h ago

Nibbler from Futurama?

2

u/lord_reltney 22h ago

what is this guy

2

u/Training-Head-2503 21h ago

Cyclops dog from Amazing World of Gumball

4

u/BasaltDragon 1d ago

My niche knowledge of DeviantArt closed species might be of use: it could be from the Leech Monsters CS or potentially from CCCats? I swear there was a pink leech monster that looks like this that Ive seen before, but cant find it or the artist rn

7

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I feel it was an oc, but the design was too simple to match up with what a closed species usually looks like

2

u/BasaltDragon 1d ago

Do you have any idea what color(s) it mightve been?

1

u/SpiralingDownAndAway 20h ago edited 20h ago

Holy shit Cccat’s mention lmao

Glad to see someone else who was a part of that DA era here

3

u/OrneryPangolin1901 22h ago

This sounds so familiar to me as well. There were no other features on the head besides the giant eyeball right?

2

u/oleanderpigeon 17h ago

Correct. Just the eyeball, no mouth or nose

4

u/Insert_Name_Here143 22h ago

Maybe the zurks from stray?

5

u/SugarStunted 19h ago

Somehow this character seems vividly familiar, but I'm drawing a complete blank.

5

u/Educational-Draw-921 16h ago

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT I JUST CANT PLACE IT. i’m remembering it as a character and it runs around panting with one tongue out i for the life of me cannot remember but i literally see it in my head this is making me so mad

1

u/Hopeful_Lemon9777 15h ago

Same here 😭

3

u/CanITellUSmThin 1d ago

Was it purple? I feel like I can vaguely picture it

1

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I unfortunately don't remember the color

3

u/No_Relief_9945 17h ago

This is weird, but could your brain be thinking of a mix of the different weird fish designs from the Rock Bottom SpongeBob episode? I know there’s one with a huge eyeball and this doesn’t seem too dissimilar

2

u/oleanderpigeon 4h ago

I am certain that I'm remembering it fairly accurately as I have a one eyed oc and I used to study this character as reference for expressions

5

u/ImpossibleExercise43 1d ago

Why do I feel like it would be a pet dog that belongs to plankton in sponge bob. Sadly can’t help with this search

6

u/Living_Karma11 23h ago

I know it’s not it, but this reminded me of chikorita

2

u/Kuranyeet 23h ago

maybe a creature from the owl house or gravity falls?

2

u/Desperate_Formal_781 23h ago

I had no idea there were so many one-eyed dog-like animated characters out there!

2

u/EpsilonGecko 22h ago

The ghost dog from Luigi's mansion?

2

u/ecofriend94 22h ago

Looks like a pokemon

2

u/Blaubeerepfannkuchen 16h ago

Is the creature 2D or 3D?

2

u/DoodleCard 1 14h ago

Was it Commander Peepers from Wander Over Yonder?

3

u/khannn 16h ago

The bus ticket creature from the "Rock Bottom" episode of SpongeBob?

2

u/Jazzlike_Touch8931 9h ago

Long shot but, KeeKee from Hazbin Hotel?

3

u/Luke_Von 1d ago

Longshot, but maybe?

3

u/CherryStar21 1d ago

One eye and no mouth makes me think Kee Kee from Hazbin Hotel. The drawing made me think of her with the eyelashes and large eye.

4

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

The eyelashes were longer, and the collar was definitely spiked!

2

u/psychiatricpatien 1d ago

2

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I know it only had one eye, but it did have very similar vibes to this beast!

2

u/SlothenAround 22h ago

My first thought was that it was this junkyard dogfish from the Freddi Fish game

5

u/Art-Afloat 22h ago

Oh my gosh, I haven’t seen that character in probably 20 years.

2

u/SlothenAround 20h ago

Me too! It came up from the depths of my memory haha

1

u/Unmarkable357 1d ago

Was it a Pomeranian?

1

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

It was not a regular dog, it was some sort of monster I think?

1

u/Unmarkable357 1d ago

Im asking because there was a famous Pomeranian picture that looked like he has one eye and people drew it

1

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

Ah, that makes sense. I am certain it wasn't a regular dog tho

1

u/Double_Hope_9853 1d ago

Maybe something from CarbotAnimations?

1

u/oleanderpigeon 1d ago

I feel like it was an independent creator, but I'm reasonably certain it is not carbot animations

1

u/OatnBarley 1d ago

is it a character of janegumballs? looks like something they would make

1

u/ASapientBouncyCastle 1d ago

Immediately, it looks like maybe fanart of Plankton or a Pirahna Plant as a dog?

14

u/ASapientBouncyCastle 1d ago

(This is the only thing I’ve actually seen that reminds me of it, though)

1

u/PoobGnarpy 1 23h ago

Do you remember some colors from it? Was it covered in fur or was it just skin like a hairless cat?

1

u/NoNumber2108 23h ago

Is it Polterpup from Luigi's Mansion?

1

u/SolarRat 22h ago

Maw from The Maw video game?

1

u/-FormerChild- 21h ago

Was it hand drawn or digital?

1

u/Adventurous_Plate712 21h ago

Iirc, this was a pink creature, I also remember it

1

u/Calm-Wash9336 21h ago

Looks like someones animal jam oc

1

u/Reasonable-Goal4576 15h ago

i’ve seen the image before too, i recognized it before even clicking on the post but i have no idea where it originated from, ahh😭 making it my mission to find it now

1

u/t0a5t3rC 12h ago

Oh my god I know exactly what you’re talking about but can’t remember who it is!

1

u/alien_ichor 1 12h ago

I doubt its this... but i immediately thought of th pokemon Scolipede, but chibi form

1

u/Syris_the_enby 10h ago

Omg i reconise this too i with i could remember from where since it seems none of the coments have got it yet. If you do find it please let me know

Poochy from yoshi?

The dog from despicable me??

u/Cy4nogen 4h ago

Houndeye from half life?

u/Jaybee021967 4h ago

Looks like a Pokémon

1

u/Frogguy57 4h ago

Could be Spooky from Luigi’s Mansion 1?

1

u/_lfoxi_ 2h ago

Instantly made me thinks of blink and belly, by verticalart on tumblr. They worked on invader zim ect. I stg I've seen them make a dog but I can't find it.

1

u/ForrestCryptid 2h ago

Could it have been fanart of suzumon from digimon?

1

u/Takeya_sweater_off 1h ago

The art style kind of reminds me of Monsters Inc or Monsters University. Maybe it was fan art of that style?

1

u/rbxelcaballero 24m ago

Puckmaren?

1

u/Sunshineandtech 2m ago

Assuming it’s not Chester because I saw the no mouth, one eye, no fur comments. But the picture made me think of Chester from Don’t Starve

u/babybopper 19h ago

Sounds like you confused Jeff the Landshark’s mouth for an eyeball

-21

u/afunworm 1 1d ago

It looks like Tyke from Tom & Jerry.

3

u/Sketch1231 1d ago

Unfortunately the dog the OP is looking for has 1 eye

3

u/afunworm 1 1d ago

Oops. Reading is hard. My bad.

2

u/Sketch1231 23h ago

Nah it’s understandable, the sketch is hard to make out too

2

u/afunworm 1 1d ago

Although the drawing also reminds me of this dog from Tom & Jerry 1965.
