Description Another commission for Atashi-Cloud of his character Silver.

I'll likely be hunting down for a tablet tomorrow and I'll be working on the next commission too. This one will be quite a bit bigger than what I usually do, so it will take a bit longer to get done

Species in question is actually called a 'Froxphin', a melding of the qualities of a Fox, Frog and Dolphin.

The main features on this particular Froxphin is that she has mostly Frog and Fox attributes, coupled with one major dolphin feature that enhances her swimming capability quite extensively. Each Froxphin is at least somewhat unique in what features are the most major, but all have at least one of each attribute present.

Indeed I do.

A few tips for ya on improving the anthro artwork style, should you want some:
For the face, practice various shapes and designs for muzzles and how to draw them, it will come in very handy for shortened muzzles like mine has or for those who are trying to emulate naturally short-muzzled animals with their anthro.
Fur and its shading can be very tricky when used in cases where it has a longer and more defined look, long fur is easily shaggy and acts like hair, especially in cases where its flowing and moving.
In some cases, an anthro can have a completely different leg design than is natural on a human; managing that AND creating a way for it to stand isn't as tough as you'd think...what IS difficult is keeping it from detracting from the whole character.
While some anthros can get away with the 'animu' look, others will look completely horrible in such a style. I'd recommend taking some time to draw purely animals for a while as an 'art study' to understand them more. Even 'animu' animals have a particular anatomy present on them, a very persistent amount of diligence will help you succeed.

sorry if its a bit much, but I feel these things(and likely many more) will help you in your quest to improve the Anthro art style you use. If you need any further help, I can direct ya to a few other artists I know who've done some anatomy studies for anthros.

Wow, this is a pretty sweet looking character.  You seem to be getting better at anthro/furry characters with each new pic, at least from my 'untrained' eyes, haha.

actually I think I may getting further away from actual anthro and making them look more animu to tell the truth

Dunno why but I'm getting a Lie Ren vibe off this. Maybe it's the robe.

There's not many images of her as of now, since she's just been recently formed....especially since this is to be my new 'sona' so to speak.

I'm glad you like the design, tho...its neat to see people enjoying it.
