I suggest you exaggerate Charmander's line-of-action a little more, by expanding the 'rise' of Char's hips and belly. For the latter, lower Char's belly so its outline doesn't merge anymore with the outline of Char's back-leg.

Char's right hand has a nice flow and 3D look; in comparison, the opposite arm might do with a line added in, that distinguishes the fore-arm from the upper-arm. e.g so the fore-arm 'overlaps' the rest of the limb just a bit, giving it perspective while also sharpening the elbow.

For the feet, changing the size of the claws might add more depth- or it might do the opposite! It depends on a couple things, really, like if you prefer keeping claws all the same size, or emphasising a main or 'big' toe similar to humans or dinosaurs/birds/reptiles.

Thank you for the really in depth critique!

It's always great to re-evaluate how I can go about improving artwork, or thinking about it as I go onto the next one :3  I always feel so rusty after a few weeks of convention work! Not enough drawing!

No problem!

Yeah, it can feel so awkward trying to get back into drawing-mode, there are some days where it's like you're just starting out, or something. D:<

I really like the style you used for the flame here!  Nice lighting, too. =)

My favorite way to design fire is to make it more DESIGN than actually anything realistic.
