Finally, I drew a picture of Tana that I don't absolutely hate. I'm not happy with her right arm and hand, but I think her legs and tail came out quite well. I played with a somewhat fatter brush on this one. I'm afraid she looks a bit too wolfish. Starfighter brought up how subtle, other than coloring, the differences between an anthro wolf and an anthro fox can be.
How do you think of her clothing? She's supposed to be wearing a chiton-style dress underneath a hooded cloak. Hoods have great significance in Roman dress. It was customary to cover one's head when praying, or conducting religious ceremonies. Tana is an augur and a fortune-teller. I wasn't brave enough this time to try to draw her hood up-- with her ears, that could be difficult to convey. Does anyone have any good references to recommend there?
The candle looks like trash, I know. I really need to learn how to draw THINGS. They bedevil me.
She is a southpaw, by the way; that, at least, is no mistake.
So now i have at least one picture of all of the core characters. That's progress,yes?

I suppose you'd be best served if I just took the filter off and left my exact, word for word reaction upon seeing this.
"Oh, that's... entirely competent, actually."
I don't know asses from elbows 'bout makin' no pictoglyphs, so I'll leave the technical advice to the semiprofessional sorts that this place is full of. It's a good start though.

The right shoulder probably looks as odd as it does because with her torso turned with its right side away from the viewer, that shoulder should be overlapped by her upper torso. It's too far forward here.
That's a really impressive right hand, though. The bending of the fingers and their relational positions and sizes is really well drawn.
Her clothes are good. They convey the look I think you were going for. Draping fabric is a tough thing to learn. You have the basic shape of the left arm appropriately established beneath the cloak. All in all this is a fine effort!
