I thought that since I have been in the middle of a sketching streak and my female figures have improved I thought I would try to redesign my pikachu girl Jenna and also try and create a short-muzzle design that works. It's rather difficult to figure out since I'm so used to long muzzles, so most of these look a little 'off' still.

Drawing short muzzles is indeed a pain, partly because all the lines you had to include on long-muzzled critters eitehr disappear or are very deemphasized.
First, maintaining a consistent nosepad-size is difficult; they often end up too small. (Compare images 5 and 6)
Second, the curve of the muzzle is hard to convey, often making it look like the nosepad is recessed and/or the front of the muzzle (upper lip) slopes back rather than the usual forward. (Image 7)
Third, keeping the chin visually in the right place (point of the chin behind the tip of the nose, not under or ahead of it) is also hard to convey. (Images 1, 7)
That being said, these are some mighty good sketches. 2 and especially 4 are particularly nice :)

I haven't been this fanboyish since I last saw Jenna in this pic. <3
I really like how you drew these facial expressions Rick, they're so... expressive! :D
And question, is her tail tip usually that big/thick/wide? o.O
