@Lunardrop As PolarAzulTigris pointed out, there are only three legs. Now, if a leg is removed, they can still hobble along (Contridictary to popular belief, of course. At my aunt's house there was a deer with three legs. It walked just fine.). But, if it does have three legs, there should at least be a stub. from where it was chopped off. It normally happens above or below the knee.
Also, I feline tutorial should help you out some. I do see some key mistakes, such as the fact the the hip should come back upwards. But I'm not very keen on animals myself, so I'm just going to pull something up for you to work off of.

Felines for Beginners! ::::D

back leg is horrible. :3 drew this about four months ago.
yup.. no more drawings to critic...

I LOVE YOUR LITTLE SIGNATURE CREATURE! its so cute!

[Atomic Blue]

If you know the ways of folds and fabric...
So the wind is blowing to the right, obviously.
What I need help with is this: Can anybody help me with redlining the fabric? As in the folds and positioning so it flows more... That would be really, really awesome and I would appreciate it a lot.

☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪: At first glance it looked canine based to me. The neck is a bit too long, and the head seems to sit on top of the neck instead of connected with it. The nose is too long, ears too pointy. (Yet that depends on the species of feline you were aiming at. Per say a lynx isn't going to have round ears.) The tails seem really stiff and don't flow. I also only see..three legs? He/she would tumble over in that case. The front shoulders are also misplaced.

☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪ hmm, not sure if you meant to do this, but the back end, it seems too curved...as if theres no bone there. and the chest/neck is too high. Its really cool though

Thank you all, I'm not very talented at drawing on the computer. I'm trying to improve. I forgot to add the fourth leg, and I was lazy with the tails. I will edit it as much as needed. Thank you.

eyes are very red and have blood vessels so when you shade them you have to use a reddish sort of grey
they are also quite shiny

Merci beaucoup ;D Here it is in a much easier on the eyes colour, and finer lines. Also, while redrawing the legs they started to frustrate me with their poses, so I went and reffed a pic, and apparently they were going in the wrong directions ^^; Oopsies. So here it is.

The last one has a very curvy spine x3 Ohh noooesss I just realized the puppy's back leg has no ankle D: *scampers off*
Oh yeah, and I will take the harshest critiques or redlines you can give me. I beg for them.

I think I was missed ^^;

@commonerKing; wwell hello there, i am lovving your avvatar...

Sorry if I missed anyone, I just didn't see anything anyone needed critiquing that I could help with :P

[pastel1]

Beanie: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=658912&start=2880#p22764597 <-- I know it's not very helpful but linking back to what I said about it.

Susiron: I believe you started a topic with references? I need to start drawing people and Want to get a few good tips at basic human anatomy. At least to the point where I can commission others if I don't pull it off.

I actually had a question earlier on about woad's and Celtics; the markings they'd use in 'woad/blue' dye. Basically its a sort of tribal/celtic pattern type ordeal where they would paint and put tattoos on their skin to look intimidating or spiritual reasons. Does anyone know here where I can find more information? My character Alasdair is put on hold for the time being till I can get some of these markings. I've never been one for design as usually they come naturally the ones I do have.

OR second option would be setting up a contest but I'm not exactly sure how to go about that either. Any tips or advice is appreciable.

[painted.]

Could somebody tell me how I'm doing with my digital realism?

Polar,
Yes, here's the topic C: -- viewtopic.php?f=10&t=884142

Painted,
The actual body and head looks pretty good, but the legs are still a bit wonky. The front legs aren't too bad-- mabye just a little too "bear-like", maybe slim them up?-- but the hind ones look very stiff and don't really bend correctly.
Try making the joints more round and exaggerated.

The anatomy of the wings are also off. They should have more bend to them, and the feathers are pretty random and nonsensical right now.
For realism sake, the wings should also probably be larger. The wings wouldn't be able to lift the wolf as they are now.
