Hey, this is my first post here in Critiques... don't be gentle. But be tactful.
This is an image I created with Tria markers (love those things). I heavily referenced the pose from a photo of myself because of the nature of such a weird pose.
I am satisfied with it, BUT it could be better.
Here are the things I see wrong with it:
-Streaky markers, especially in the back wall
-blocky and strangely shaped iPod (I didn't spend enough time shaping it before I decided it was done)
-iPod not really sitting on the couch
-couch's corner is a little strange
-framed drawing in background calls too much attention, less contrast is needed
-posters in background in general are very sloppy (it was intentional, but when I was done, I decided it wasn't such a good idea after all...)
The stuff that I do like about this piece:
-my handing of the fur
-incorportating the blues and creams in the shadows (since he's a grey wolf that wears white, it could have gotten very achromatic fast)
-Some of the nicer details, like the piping on the arm of the couch
-the relative unity of the colors (though the posters do throw it off a little bit)
As for what I am going for, my anthro creatures generally have heads that are 90% animal (the most human parts being eyes/expressions, and they usually have hair), bodies that have very human anatomy (but just happen to be covered in fur), and hands and feet that are a mix between human and animal (their feet being more animal-like, with the large toes and all).
I can provide the original ref if needed.
