No, I have Paint Tool Sai, and I've had that for a while. XD
I've used it to make stuff I think is better than this too. ;u; XD

Doing my normal evade-the-critique-box thing. |D
First, the design itself is pretty awesome. I like the idea of combining a smilodon with a leopard shark, and the colours go together really well. There are a few things I'd personally change about the design, but I'm assuming you're looking more for critiques on anatomy, so if you want a design crit, you can ask me later. : D It's very very nice overall, though.
The first thing I noticed is that his back is lacking that line where his spine would be. It also makes his back fin look a little awkward, like it isn't attached right. With him being a hybrid though, I'm not sure if this was intentional or not.
His left arm also looks much too short. The average person's arm goes to about mid-thigh when their body is straightened out, and that arm looks like it would only go just past his leg/hip joint. The fingers on the hand of this arm also look a little short, and unless he has his hand positioned very oddly, they'd wrap around his arm a bit more.
The other arm is fine as far as length goes, but compared to the rest of his body, it looks a little thin. I would personally even this out by either making his body slimmer or his arm more muscular.
His collar looks a little too loose, and looks like it was made from some kind of fabric. His pants looks strange too, and the hole for his tail looks very awkward. Though speaking as someone with a fursona with a similarly thick tail, I can understand it's hard to accomodate pants in a way that makes sense. D:
If you don't do this already, I'd suggest sketching out the basic body shape lightly and draw the clothing on afterwards. This will make it look much more natural, and you have a better chance to experiment with how gravity and wind and such would affect the clothes.
The only other thing I can really think of to point out is that his face shape looks more like a wolf than a smilodon. But other than that, you've done a great job. 8D Overall awesome character design, the pose fits the background very well and gives a little look into what his personality may be before reading the description.

Ffff. One of these days. XDD
As far as the species idea goes, go tell :devwolfdongwolf: how awesome the idea is. x3
Considering the amount of fur a Smilodon /might/ have, I figured the fur would hide the initial line- I tried to make the fin make up for that, with little success. xD
If you notice, the hand of his left arm is resting just past his mid-thigh. And the fingers are meant to be hidden entirely. And I suck with muscles. I'm learning though. XD
Yes and yes, but I'm very bad with leather affects, though I hope you can see I attempted it. XD I've never done pants at that angle, let alone a hole for such a tail, so that was kind of a shot in the dark for me. Pants are evil. ;u;
I do sketch, but find the angle I have to draw at hard. I don't have a desk at my computer, so I have to have my tablet on a plastic board-like thing and my elbow is normally not able to go back to far, because it cannot phase though my throne-like computer chair. XDD!
I tried for something thicker than a wolf muzzle, however, I suck at broad muzzles. Perhaps it's because I prefer longer, thicker ones. XD And thank you very much for the critique!

Whoops, I am a total retard. xD; Reverse all my uses of "left" and "right". I wrote this crit at 1:30 AM, sorry.

It's totally okay dude <3 XDDD
The arm is meant to appear bent, if you notice, fingers are on his other arm... but they're meant to be mostly hidden, as if his arm is not there for a strict reason, or just being moved away. ^^

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. xD The bent arm that he's resting on his other arm, it looks too short, based on where his elbow is.
I probably worded the crit terribly, sorry. xD; I need to remember to wait until the morning before doing them.
