I like this one a lot and I would totally try out for it! ^^ What really hits me is the neatness of the design and edits. I think that neatness seems to be a big factor in these kinds of competitions, so this is pretty much spot-on for me. C: And the expression is lovely!

A comment is that on the left side of the Kalon's image where the hair hangs down, it looks kind of lumpy where the hair curves, to me. I think it would make the curve look more confident in stroke if you either accentuated the hair curve (though it might make the hair curlier), or make it smoother in the bend. This is just my opinion, though, since I don't usually see that kind of hair bend.
Also, when I look closely at the deep gray that makes up a lot of the body color, there seems to be another color mixed in. I would personally leave it all as one solid color to make it neater, but again, whatever floats your boat!

Thanks for reading! Great job! <3

    @satyn ; thank you very much for the critique! I fixed it a little, so hopefully it looks better now! Sorry, this is my first time using my tablet with my laptop, so I knew there would probably be a bit of shakiness or conflict with the lines, but hopefully I caught all of it!

    And yeah, there are two colors there, and they were supposed to blend a bit more seamlessly, but I didn't quite get the desired effect. If I have the time, I'll go back and fix that up, too!

    I super love this babe! I would take them as is in a heartbeat. <3

    As for suggestions..
    Perhaps her hair needs more spikes or more lines in the curves? As is it kind of gives me the feeling this kalon uses a LOT of hair gel. Personally I like the different fades of gray matches very well with the white fades in the purple. And maybe if you feel like making the tail more fluffy looking add onto the fur detail layer. Just a suggestion. C;

    @rakkun ; Ayy, thanks for the critique~ Honestly, with the personality I was imagining for them while I was drawing, they probably do use a lot of hair gel. I'll take the texture thing into consideration, though~
    That tail was actually really hard to get done the way I was doing this, but I would love to make it look better than I did.

    If I find the time, I'll come make to this again, or just make a new entry with all of the advice I've been given~
