Werewolf (and friends!)
#11
Hey there Delicious. I wanted to give you a few pointers.
You're improving very slowly, and unfortunately it's only in rendering. You still have quite a few problems with drawing bodies, may it be in the neck, the chest, the legs... you'll only improve noticeably if you carefully observe and draw from life.
Recently, I've found your poses similar, I've found your textures similar (that texture on the werewolf's neck is a lot like the one on your swamp creature's head) and some shapes too (around/above the eyes). Granted, it's your style, but I find you are quite reliant on re-using these elements, which isn't inherently a bad thing but it will slow your progress down. And I'm also getting bored by your style's stability.
No matter how funny, appealing or engrossing a representation you do, if you don't have the basics, it's largely noticeable. Maybe you played along with the fact you still had a lot to catch up on technically and instead decided to let yourself go, the result being something rather goofy, with character.
Anyway, as usual, I'm going to suggest something a bit more down to earth:

I used quite a few wolf/human references, I suggest you do likewise. My main issues are with the legs, the chest, the neck and the arm. The face isn't much like a wolf's, much as I know this depicts a hybrid; add to that the length of the skull. It seems rather big, no? Another thing you tend to do is give a large gap between the eyes, which may be the source of derp.
The neck starts from the collarbones, which are at the top of the shoulders. The superior half of the pectoral tucks in between the base of the shoulder and the biceps.
Now, why is the recurring texture an issue to me? Well, it doesn't necessarily convey fur as well as another texture you could come up with. You can also think of a way of making blood-caked fur and dry/clean fur.
Observe your references with great care. Keep pushing harder and get out of your comfort zone! Smile
