I really like how this came out, the only thing I can see is that the right shoe is a bit larger then the left but the distance between would not make the size that different in perspective but that's the only thing I can see really and that isn't even a big noticeable thing I had to look for a while.
And if I didn't know what an African wild dog looked like I'd say the neck was too long. But it isn't.
The shading is amazing, everything about the train looks perfect.
The clothing looks just as amazing.
The floor lines are nice and even and straight and the lighting is right on.
The over all feel of the pic is very cool, reminds me of going home late night from Boston after visiting people out there, a very sort of quiet feel, almost lonely, I can almost see the slow rocking of the train.
Good job, I could never do anything remotely close to this level of work myself.
That's all I got for ya lol.

This is very well done. You even reflected the railings inside the car onto the windows. I don't know that I see any real problems, only issues of common perception. You might bring his coat or the collar thereof up a bit to cover a little more of his neck; even though his neck isn't necessarily too long for the species it will be perceived as too long. Also in an actual subway elevated train car, there would be rectangular "banner ads" up at the top over the windows down the whole length of the compartment.
If there is one thing that stands out to me it's the fact that those portions of the seat that are absolute black seem to be the only area in the picture to be quite so black and it feels a bit unbalanced due to that. Even the same portion of the next seat over does not appear so black. It makes the range of values used seem shallower. The picture you used for background reference is very high contrast while your drawing is not nearly as extreme.
To balance it out, I would darken up other dark areas of the drawing such as the lower portion on which the seat rests and maybe the windows. I might add, the reflections on the windows as they are are very nice. After that maybe very slight darkening of certain details like maybe the nose and darker lines of reflection on the poles from other dark areas.
Of course all this is just from what is seen here, I know scanners/pictures can flatten out values and that in reality it may look quite different. :)
I see others have mentioned the neck maybe being too long....I really don't agree. Considering this is an anthropomorphic african wild dog I think it's perfectly fine. Hell, even not considering that it's not something that stands out as odd to me.

Well i originally wanted to draw it on the T... but the car interiors didn't have the feel I wanted, so I used a stock photo of a train in Brazil I found. I did all the work on this one outside of class, although there were several group critiques before I finished.
