(Re-uploaded due to FA having two different versions: one I see through my gallery and a different one when I clicked the " New Fav" link.)
My characters head design is looking very... Egyptian these days. :3
Although some might not see the changes to the character from the old version there's a good bit of difference: Head is larger and much better in appearance, ears are smaller, more barrel chested, and thicker legs.
What do you all think about the cheek tufts: Better with or without?
I'm still editing the character and hope to get some additional details added or updated. If you got any anatomical/ structural suggestions feel free to let me know!

Hmm, muscles need to be smoothed out a bit, just looks a bit too blobby, Also look at the silhouette and how the body should flow. The tail seems a bit high for a roo. It's heavier, more for counterbalance. Just a few things to suggest : )

Yea, the legs were ripped from my old model because I like the shape of the feet. :)
The legs and all with be smoothed out when the fur is added: since fur smooths the surface allot the muscles have be be over emphasized to show through. (Once I get the general shape right I'm going to redesign the muscle structure as well.)
On the tail: I agree for a roo, but his form is essentially a mix between a kangaroo and a velociraptor/ Utah raptor.

The thing I'm most dissatisfied with is the "waist" area; I want the distance so it doesn't look awkward for the species to have a pouch but a raptors ribs essentially right at their legs. I think I'll try to "skinny" up the area between the ribs and pouch but I hope it doesn't make it look like hes starving. :P

Sorry, putting some info down for the species while I'm thinking about it. :)
When the species walks or hunts they do so in a bipedal raptor like fashion but hop like kangaroos for traveling long distances. When they walk bipedal they use all four toes for stability, but most the weight is on the center large toe. When moving long distances the side three toes raise up, rarely contacting the ground while hopping.
They stand either horizontally or vertically and do "sit" on their tails like roos.
The species is carnivorous.
Both males and females hunt; there is no distinction between their hunting capabilities (unlike lions) but the male usually is the head of the hunting team.
The males have a mane and thick chest fur.
Both male and females have pouches and both take care of the joey(?) once it begins to leave the pouch.
Only females produce milk while the joey is in the pouch.
Males and females mate and stay together for a season, but some may stay together for years.
Unlike most species they have exemplary vocal cords and will sing to lure in females. (They also use this to challenge other males, confuse prey, and lure prey in.)
Depending on the status of the environment a male may either mate with only one female or have three or four females as mates. Males will physically compete in order to show off their strengths and attract females that are not already mated.
The young are born at a very early stage of development – after a gestation of 120 days (4 months)
The joey will stay in the pouch for five months before starting to leave the pouch for small periods of time.
It is usually fed by its mother until reaching 18 months but stays in the fathers pouch if the mother goes hunting. This is very helpful when in areas with little prey; one will be off hunting while the other takes care of the joey 24/7 if necessary.
