my first critique!!!
its very cute and artciy and i love the detail on the background and the character as well! so much detail!!! awesome x3very beautiful i love the style as well
its cartoon in a way but with detail and thats what makes it awesome!!
but i recommend to not use the deviant art watermark its blocking most of the drawing and its hard to see well
i know that you don't want people to steal your art but
i recommend to make your own water mark something that fits you and more fitting for your drawings
but you don't have to i just thought that but yeah x3

BEFORE READING THIS, PLEASE NOTE THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND I DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND THE ARTIST OR ANYONE. READ WITH CAUTION!!
The body and pose are very nice along with fur details. But there are a few things I think you need improving on. First off the eyes are slightly too big in my perspective and seem... off.... If you look at a real wolf you can see that the eyes are a lot smaller. The pose, as mentioned, is very nice but the problem here is that it's hard to tell really what's going on. I can tell that the pose is dramatic but the face isn't really showing that and is confusing me. For this critique I will just address this as a running position. I believe it would be better for you if the pose looked a bit more realistic, but I do understand that doing this is very difficult and hard. Although the pose looks pretty realistic enough, there are a few things maybe you should tweak so it looks more like running. Another thing to point out is that the animal is fairly large, in my opinion you should maybe shrink it down and make the background more visible.
Another thing about the background is that it's hard to tell what's going on. Such as the floor, i'm not very sure what you were aiming for the floor but it looks like roots of some sort??? Overall the picture is very nice and the shading is very detailed. Just a few tweaks I think you should make.

Hello! well, as much as i love this piece, im gonna take some time to write this. im not good at critiques so dont count on me!
Vision: at this i gotta say some fair stuff. the profile-looking-to-the-left type of perspective is pretty overused, but when you do it right, it works. the pose is pretty dramatic and a bit dynamic, speaking of the front and back legs, but it kinda needs that spark. there are a bit of flaws like of example: the right hind leg: it is lower than the left front leg, which is closer. if the legs do that, the character will probably trip to the left and fall into its nose! The colors are quite crowded, same with the details. You kinda need to shop where you want our attention to focus on by not doing that!
Originality: The pose, once again is quite used, but the backround has a nice vibe
Tehnique: i really observed the details on the rocks. i dont know whenether you used a tutorial or not, but i gotta tell you a thing: the front left leg is kinda half on the rock, so it should be somehow tilted (?? i dont know either im new to anatomy and stuff). The anatomy overall needs some practice, the placement of the spike is quite strange. The eyes really quite got my attention, in quite the bad way on tho-- they are weirdly sized and wonky, as i would suggest looking up references for the eyes as much as possible!
Impact: this picture reminds me of those deserts, also forgotten desert, if we come speaking about animal jam. it got me thinking that instead of that cartoonish , quite green for the context, cactuses and bushes and all that it should be something more like this. Its overall good for a beginning, keep up!

I love the color scheme and the overall theme, the coloring by its self is pretty clean and well put together, but i feel like you should try to make the ground more detailed just to have it even out from the wolf itself and make the overall piece of work improve. Love the art!
P.S.
- you should make sure to also put more detail into fluffy parts of the wolf such as the chest and more of the sides of the face, just small parts. Also maybe try working on the paws? (by showing the pads). - Have a good one!

Hiii! Since you asked for a critique, I'll do my best. (I don't like using the critique feature, so you get a comment. 
So my first impression of this piece was "What on earth is going on here?!", and I don't think that's really what you were aiming for! You just want people to see the awesomeness that is your AJ wolf, right?
Analyzing exactly what causes that confused feeling I got is what I'll try to focus on.
First of all, your picture is WAY too busy. I understand you have a complicated AJ wolf here, but having him (and all his accompanying details) fill the page causes kind of an overload of the senses because I'm not sure what to look at first. Composition is really really important when drawing a character portrait. That means using the rule of thirds, having leading lines, and utilizing your points of interest. Rule of thirds is probably the easiest to follow, so I suggest googling and studying that if you're interested.
Secondly, your colors are evenly spread throughout the image. If you want to keep a uniform color scheme, it's good to have areas that are dark and areas that are light, keeping the contrast centered around points of interest (like the face.) Right now you have the same amount of darks and lights spread evenly throughout the image, which makes it hard to pick out what you want me to look at first.
Lastly, the eyes (that left one there especially) need some tweaking. You have some gorgeous ears n' fur going on, though! I also admire the fact that you chose a dramatic pose. That definitely makes the picture more interesting, but the color thing I mentioned earlier makes it hard to notice.
If you wanted to go back and improve this picture in the future, I'd suggest moving or shrinking the whole character down so that his front lines up on 1/3 of the page, getting rid of 90% of your overlaying smoke / dust / whatever that is, and getting rid of the watermark. A signature will do just fine.
Anyway, I hope that was somewhat helpful!~ I think your character is super duper cute and I look forward to seeing more of what you can do in the future!

my opinion but It seems very muddy because of the colors overlying the animal, can't tell if its a fog or gas? along with the white streaks on the ground is it movement that the animal is performing or is the floor glossy? If you clean the fog, it'll look rather nice.
