Hopefully it'll turn out decent. It's a picture of Between and her mother before she gained her strange appendage. (As always, harsh critique would rock. I'll take anything as long as it's not just wailing on my art. I'm not angry if it's got even the slightest bit of info on what to change but what really gets me is "It sucks" -_- because I'm a new artist and I know it sucks, that's why I want you amazing artists out there to tell me what I could do to..unsuck =3! Because lord knows I envy all of you here.)

Meh, trying to get the trail to look used didn't really work out. Between looks icky, and the clouds look just the same as always! Feh, all in all I'm not impressed T.T oh well. Maybe I'll get better next time.

Well kekai how have you been? I've been wondering where you were. I'm glad to see you back and doing some art on here.

Your backgrounds better than the ones you did, coming a long way there. Either the head of the mother is too big or the neck is too thick. It's a little bit of both but mainly the neck. It should be thinner near the head and thicken slowly as it tapers into the chest and back. And don't close the head altogether with lines, when a heads turned (human/animal) the neck and jaw aren't a continuous line. Do the jaw line only half way.
Thin the front legs, they look too meaty, and raise the haunches a little bit.

For the baby make the tail connect nearer the bottom, he should be partially sitting on it. And if you look at the way the mothers back legs are shaped (as well look at how dogs and cats sit) the babies back legs should be more arched and the front legs should be lowered, they're too high, show some of his chest and again don't make a line seperating his head from his body. And fix the eyes on the baby (oekaki has a wonderful tool that lets you flip your page over so if your having trouble getting the face right flip it upside down and work on the face then flip it back.)

I won't say anymore because I see your still working on it, I'll wait to see it finished and hope once more you don't think me too harsh. Glad to see your back, I like you little wolves.

actually, sweetcell, i think the neck is fine, the head just seems a bit far over...

oh!
-shoulder blades should probably be a bit higher up...
-hind legs...i mean the shin bones should be shorter
-the baby's head is too big.
the fore legs make the mom look a bit like a mongoose...o.o *tilts head*

Sorry I've been so dead lately Sweetcell. I've been really busy lately, but hopefully I'll be compensating for my lack of art with a ton of new, better art.

Thank you both for the awesome critique ^^! I'll make sure to keep it in mind for next time. And actually now that I look back at it, the neck does remind me of a mashmallow xD oh well, better luck next time. The legs on the front doo look mongooseish...not a word but whatever. Between's (the baby's) head was probably my least favorite thing in the picture so that's something I'll fix next time. Anyways, I hope make good use of the wonderful critique you gave me! Thank once again! -hugs pandabarrie and Sweetcell-
