look good.i love your style. for a good cartoon dog material... you can use a blinn material and put reflection to 0 or turn off ray tracing. texture will make your dog look a lot better.keep up the good work.

Your picture of Gromit is very close to the original, but his nose is a bit too extended.
Wallace's mouth is a bit wider too; See picture below.
Other than that, you're doing really good user added image
