Description
I wanted to portray another gemstone, and this time it's Rose guartz, which is also the stone of my zodiac, which makes me quite happy... <:I thought an albino tigress was very fitting by this stone. I wanted her to look kind and fragile, like she has to be treated gently.
Rose quartz stands for love, tenderness, joy, warmth and healing.

The neck is far too skinny. Everything else is absolutely fantastic.

I tried to make it thicker, but it doesn't look very feminin that way..

It can be difficult with anthros to define human gender without over-sexualizing everything, I know. Sometimes I struggle with my panther in this way. Still, a human's neck to head with ratio isn't very large, and a feline's certainly isn't. The critters aren't dainty.
I'm not saying the piece is bad; you're very gifted and your work is beautiful. I just really noticed the neck. I'm not sure it would support her head were she real, like Barbie. Still, your attention to detail is wonderful.

It's probably too thin, but I didn't want to make it very thick either, like a real tiger, because this anthro is more humanoid than animal. I wanted to portray her as delicate and frail person, while this panther has a stronger build neck: [link]
I'm not trying to defend myself, but I just wanted to say, there are reasons why I gave her a more humanoid neck. <: Which is probably still too thin xD but yeah..
And thanks for the compliment!

I saw that piece and I liked it too! Really, you're amazing. Your skills surpass mine for sure, but my father always critiqued my work very honestly, even if it was really good, and it's just a trait I have adopted involuntarily over the years. I apologize if I have offended you; it wasn't my intent. Your comparison of the two pieces makes sense though, and your argument is completely valid.
But you're very welcome, sweetheart. I don't believe in flattery, so I always mean my compliments. I do look forward to seeing your artwork in the future! Take care, dear.

That there is just too wonderful for words
But that neck, it looks kinda weird to me, like a cylinder that's too thin(?), is it supposed to be human like? Maybe it's just that I don't see your artistic vision?

There might be some sadness in her eyes, but maybe that's because she's very sensitive <:
