Thoughts welcome. Would really like a critique on this one. there is something I don't like about it.

Indeed! its a mix between the two. I do not feel I put as much effort as I would of liked into this image hence the messy look in parts like the mouth. its also a little small. i guess I was just afraid to work on something with stripes on anything larger than 1500 by 1500 pixels. this is more of a post card pinup I suppose.
I think this is an amazing piece and I do love the mix of anthro and non, as pointed out by hotwert. Tigers are always amazing and this really shows off the pattern very well, and her curves! If I am allowed, I think this might be a bad pose to strike if there are gryphons flying around :P.
But anyway, gorgeous work. Would you mind if I used this as a background on my phone at all? And, I don't suppose you have a wider version? >v>; It is really pleasing to the eye, especially in the morning when I feel like this XD

Oh that would be really helpful thank you! I wold say the edges of the image, the arms, and the stripes on the back. just not really sure to be honest. maybe i just worked on too small of an image and it bugging me physiologically. something about it is off that I can't really say for sure :<
The back from the midpoint down past the abdomen appears to be off position in that its too elongated/forced and the gluteal muscles, particularly the gluteaus maximus seem strained between the animal anatomy and humanoid. Where the figure of a common feline have the glutes and leg muscles more relaxed and flatter, the legs are more strained in a human, raised up more (showing off the rear more), and are more spread out in a relaxed version of this position (as intended here). And in felines, the legs are often closer together when they stretching like this. The issue with the tail is that it doesn't seem to follow the same arch of the spine as the rest of the figure. The right arm is farther out than the shoulder blade lets it appear to be, giving a sense of tenseness in the shoulder blade which doesn't match the arm muscles or the back, especially for how close together the arms are (as either feline or humanoid). Basically, the shoulder blade is too pointed for the muscles that are being used here.
Essentially, its a clash between the anatomies you chose, how you wanted to display them (the human showing off more of the rear/the feline style stretching) and having the muscles of both species mesh properly. Buddy and I went over it based on what you said might be bugging you. Hopefully this helps a bit!

Oh man eye like an eagle. I remember those things were bugging me as well especially the right shoulder and the way I chose to splay out the legs. I should of kept them straight. it would of looked less tensed as you say. the problem with the midpoint is something I found off as well and I think it has to do with the way I painted the stripes most of all. there is a strange kink that makes it flow weirdly. this sort of stretching is impossible in a human as they would have to bend at the knees because the legs are too long, they would also have to splay out the legs as seen here to get the chest closer to the ground. I think because the legs are already shorter on this subject I feel that I made it rather redundant to force the legs to be spread out like that when she was already capable of the stretch without it. it makes it seem forced and unnatural.
Thank you so much things were still bugging me every time i went over this image. I know now what not to do with this pose. at least my other lion clashed everything properly I think. maybe I was going into this one as more of a practice hence why it's so small compared to most of my other images.

My friend had mentioned the stripes but we omitted it initially because it falls under a stylistic choice, so, although it was odd, it wasn't technically an issue in and of itself, I'll have to thank him there and keep a watch for how stylistic changes can clash with anatomy more often. As for the stretching itself, we referenced it back to the equivalent of the yoga position and took into account the feline anatomy and similarity of the stretching they do in order to figure out the humanoid anatomical structure in a position like it.
Over all I like the image as a stand-alone piece and it turned out well, its just a few technical problems underneath. Your art is usually very good with anatomy so it took a little longer to spot since I started with things like color or individual parts the body and their proportions rather than the body itself. Personally, I owe it to my buddy for telling me to look at the anatomy as a whole or I probably wouldn't have even caught half of it since I was too caught up in the smaller parts.
