Very pretty! The detail is the background is very impressive!

Thank you very much. I have a fantastic vision of civilization in a fantasy anthro world.

This one's my favorite, due to the motion involved and use of background. Overall, you have a lot of anatomy study that needs done, as all of your figures are lacking a bit in that department. They're very stiff and rigid. If you want to keep a more cartoony style, play with line weights and shading techniques until you find something you like. You have a lot of potential, it'll just take time to work it all out.
Take care!

How do I make my characters look the opposite of stiff and rigid?

I know I lack in anatomy. I really want to imporve in that part of art, but I don't know if I can. I am proud of what I draw and how I draw them.
What's wrong with cartoon style?

Just to let you know, drawing lots of nude figures, skeletons and muscles from anatomy books is a good way to start getting better at anatomy

I've always thought about using my grandma's anatomy coloring book for muscle reference.

Nothing's wrong with a cartoony style, I was advising ways to improve toony looks. And anyone can improve in anatomy, it just takes practice.

I tried to do what was covered in Jess Booth's Fur Tutorial for the shadows and highlights.
Thanks a lot!

I, like, saw it, was about to comment then you were like: "What's gonna say?" And now... XD
Anyway, umz...
The wolf shading is good and all, just that wood texture looks really flat. It's void of shading and, hm, the texture isn't right. Otherwise the silhouettes in the background are really nice. The ice could be shinier or have a shadow/reflection where the wolf is. But, I never do backgrounds so I feel like a bitch critiquing on one.
But the wolf shading was done well, it really was. It's pretty good.

How can I apply shading and everything to metal texture?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not wood, it's supposed to be brushed metal. I've never learned to do shadows or reflections, either, but thank you. I knew you'd like it.
I EVEN USED A PAINTBRUSH!!!

Yes, huge improvement. Yeah, it doesn't look like metal. >>

I used a tutorial to do the metal texture. But, I had a feeling it would look like wood.

Yep, try to find a better tutorial. ^^ Trial and error is good. :3

That tutorial was all that I found.

Oh. Then make up somethin' yourself. Um.. try a solid grey with white hi-lites. It can be really simple and turn out well.

WOW! Did you....you didn't! Did you do this by hand, or on the computer? It looks great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On the computer, Commandant! In Photoshop, too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excellent work! Photoshop is kinda tricky and requires some patience, as you know.\, I'm sure.
Did I send you this already?

This is what would probably happen to my fantasy dream world, (If I only had one) unfortunatly.

Thanks. You've alreay sent me the video. What would happen to your fantasy dream world?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Imperial Senate building would be destroyed by terrorists, and Stolwotians woulld blame their neighbors or brothers, and the Great Cities would fall into the throws of a Civil War, as they have more millions of years.
And I do have many fantasy worlds, but none untouched by the taint of War....except one of my fantasy worlds that has never seen the horrors of Conflict and violent deaths...It is somewhat like your own world, I imagine...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that sounds pretty tragic. The anthros in the fantasy world that I illustrate in my drawings have seen conflict and have expirienced it, too. I sometimes draw what they do in peacetime (like the fox skating at the pond).

That's what I love about you...you can find these things! I probably could if I really tried, but I just can't seem to get it captured like you...

It's also amazing how I put a modern sport like ice skating into a fantasy setting; that's eclectic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, Even non-humans have been ice-skating since the dawn of time...despite half the time it was an accident! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I love eclectic! Another eclectic picture of mine is "Tyra," she's a fantasy anthro but also has a robotic arm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! It's on my favorite's list!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know that! You know, I named her Tyra after playing with the letters in the word "tiger," I didn't name her after Tyra Banks; I didn't even know who she was then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who the hell's Tyra Banks? I honestly have no idea even though I hear her name every day...
Yeah, great idea on the name finder idea...thing....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's... *looks her up on Wikipedia* ...a supermodel and a television personality.
The method for finding the name can be found here: [link] (it's the fourth and fifth ones down)

Ah. I figured as much. You normally make it pretty far with a name like Tyra Banks.
