Review because you are on "I love critiques"
The biggest thing here, is to work on anatomy. Right now I see a lot of things that don't quite match up, so more study in that area in needed. When you look at muscles groups really look at the way they play off each other and start thinking of shapes layered on top of one another; mass, shape, volume. That lends the character weight and will help you draw the clothing on top of it all. Case in point- it doesn't feel like the pants were torn because he's buffed and he split them open because he flexed.
Next, if you have a character leaning, draw what he's leaning on- don't leave him floating in air.
Keep all wording and signatures away from the art. Give it room to be art and don't make it fight for attention.
Consistent lighting- The right arm has a shadow on the front of the muscle group, but the rest of the body has it on the back. Get your friend to sit and pose and shine a light on him- that will really help things.
Too dark. You have dark, where are your highlights? You can have dark clothing but remember just about nothing in nature is true black with a light source on it. Take a look at a black leather jacket- the majority of it will be medium to light grays with a few spots of white in it. Same goes with fur. right now his muzzle disappears into his shoulder and turns into one confusing mass. Pants are also hard to look at because of the lack of brights.
