Oh, very nice. I would work on anatomy and proportions a bit more but I love the design. I would like to ask if you could take it at an angle with your shadow not in the way? I would love to see the colors at their full potential. I had this problem happen to me a lot when I did traditional art. I recommend take the picture at a different angle, even if the image ends up being upside down you can always rotate it on your phone or with any editing software. ^^ However, if you would rather not, that's fine. I still love the color choices and the tail. Lovely blues, oranges, grays, and greens. ^^ Also, love the fluffy muzzle. Oh, and for future reference I recommend trying different expressions and poses for other characters of yours. I know it's really tough but it can be very fun to do and the outcome makes it feel a little less stiff and more exciting. ^^ Overall, I wish you the best of luck and I shall add this into the entrees. 

Also, more comments on what I liked about this design;
-The orange is actually very lovely to see and I feel like orange tends to be avoided quite a lot, plus it works so well with the blue outfit
-I love the cute rounded ears. I see you tried maintaining a triangle like effect and well it is present it still looks a bit less triangular. While not fitting the look of a coyote, nonetheless a nice attribute and (though it may be unintentional) pretty cute ^^
- I love that you just added a top accessory and a helmet
- Noticed the scar details and that is much appreciated (though, I almost missed it due to the shadow ) nice deep looking cuts. Look a bit too raw and new but I see the effect you were going for and I love their placement.

Extra critiques;
-The arms are a bit too long, compared to the legs. I tend to suffer with this problem as well. I recommend referencing some Sonic guy pictures (preferably ones from comics because the lines are easier to make out) This can also help with the chest, while I like it, Sonic characters chests tend to be more rounded.
-Are those bandages or knee pads near the knees? I have a hard time making it out. I'm sorry.  
-Another thing I found interesting and kind of what stands out is the chest is very focused on detail, your really focused on making those muscles stand out. As this is a Sonic character, I will say most of the Sonic characters don't tend to have such pronounced muscle mass but that doesn't go for all of them so that's not why I bring this up. Firstly, as I mentioned, anatomy would be a great thing to study so the muscles don't look so squished. However, the main reason I bring it up as it is a very detailed piece, more detailed than the rest of his body. I recommend trying to keep the same level of detail throughout the piece so it doesn't awkwardly stand out. ^^
-Also, I bring up expresions again and poses to remind you that these also help with personality and because of this stiff posture, he doesn't really fully look like Riddle as he isn't showing any personality. I suffered from this a lot. I recommend trying a facial expression challenge and looking at reference picture poses to give more life and fun, I suppose, to your art. ^^

Thanks for the entry. I really loved this and was surprised to get it so soon but as I am an impatient gal at times so I was happy either way. I hope the tips I offered came in handy. Sorry if they were too harsh or straight forward. ^^
