Hello. I saw your post on the forums and I thought I'd give a little critique on this. To get the positives out of the way, its simplicity is its greatest strength, as the colours aren't too over the top, but pop out in a good way. The character is cute, and the line art is crisp and confident. The white outlines at the end make me think that this would be good if sold as a sticker,

Moving onto the negatives, however, the character looks quite flat. Although the expressions are there, there's no sense of form to the face, or anything else for that matter. This is partly due to how the coat pattern is too curvy and due to the lack of any distinctive shading as well.

One thing that really brings this image down in my opinion is the expression. It isn't too bad on its own (the cross eye thing bothers me a little, but that might just be a personal preference), but looking at the other pieces in your gallery, I've noticed that the two pieces 'Crystalheart' and 'A Starry Night' have almost the exact same expression and face type, except with a different coat of fur. This doesn't give me the impression that your character is unique, and feels rather cut-and-paste, to be honest.

I think if you want to get better at this sort of thing, you need to push yourself a bit more in terms of what you draw and how you go about doing it. Of course, what you want to achieve with your art is up to you, so find something that appeals to you and experiment with it, even if you think you can't do it.
