Description *edit* why am I bumping this again? I did a few adjustments, the background was too bright and was smothering the character so i dulled it down a bit Also I realized that for all the blue highlights in the white fur there were none in the grey so I added some in

All done! I originally drew this smilodon to be a version of Misty my silver fox fursona as different animals so I thought I should follow through and color her as such.

I'm looking for advanced critiquing here, I'm really trying to improve my digital work!

Woot, turned out awesome!!! Misty looks very pretty as a smilodon *luvs smilodons*
Really like the pose and her expression, as well as all the fluffyness on her chest and tail And your coloring is really amazing! Like all the pretty highlights in the dark fur as well as the coloring on the teeth^^ And the eye looks amazing!!! Really great work! Turned out awesome!!! :hug;

coloring is great...but...i think the background makes her blend in a little to much. something a bit less cluttered? or make it not as bright maybe. overall great effect though!

as for the layers thing....just try a simple image with a few layers, and bulid on that. you can get some super effects with layers, that are overly complicated to do with no layers (in like a click!)

just slap a layer of black over it and set it to about 20~30% occupancy and that should cut it down. (of course erase it over her.)

Adv. Critique is something I fail at. I can't draw to begin with, so yea. We'll just leave it at that. XD

LOVE the work. :3

Yeah the fur may be grey and white but the undertone for Misty is blue, so I implemented it here too

Really cool, I love the expression and eyes, and chest fur. My only suggestion is maybe a little softer on the lines...?

I seem to go pretty extreme with my shadings and linework I do it with physical mediums too T_T Thanks so much for the comment!

he is the most cute smilodon!
do not use layers?! I do! ^__^
I use the Photoshop and I make shadows and light on different layers. Each shade for each layer.
But you make good work. You know, I love it
