Originally planned for my upcoming 2nd art CD but it was replaced by another beachy Krystal picture (lol teaser here http://www.cmct.com/1CDkrystal3teas.jpg ). Picture was hotly debated by some Krystal fanatics (IE: Tobias) because it isn't "Krystal" enough, but considering its a blue fox with markings and a SF Adventures outfit, I say it's close enough. The characters are also warped slightly to fit into my style anyway.

Against the bony chest and face, the size/shape of the breasts make them look inflated with air. Her backside is remarkably flat, such that without the delimiting line they'd simply be an extension of the thigh.
It seems the majority of attention has been paid to the breasts, such that the rest of the body falls flat upon the utmost basic anatomy structure- as if the skin was shrink-wrapped around an artist's mannequin with nothing beneath it.
She has no upper-arm mass, causing her forearms to resemble Pop-eye's.
The hair and cloth look like they've been drenched in chlorine and starch. I don't know how to improve that, but doing the hair in bigger sections tends to look better than trying to do individual strands.

While I admit Corrolith's comment wasn't exactly worded in the nicest fashion, I think the points he/she/it makes are reasonable. While seemingly inflammatory, they do point out a few things that could be improved upon in this picture.
Instead of taking it as an attack on yourself, try looking at the comments as constructive criticism and think about how you can hone your artistic skills.
You've got talent, a hell of a lot more than me, but there is _always_ room for improvement. If you take every criticism as an attack on you, you'll never get anywhere; you'll stagnate as an artist.
While it's nice to have everyone blowing sunshine up your ass, it's the criticism that should really get you motivated. Learn from it. Improve from it. Don't become another one of those artists who use the excuse "It's my style" to cover up their constant imperfections.

the picture is about half a year old, as shown in the signature. I know it has problems, and most of the anatomical errors have since been fixed. I posted it on FA to get my gallery here caught up, I don't need a critique on it, I know it has errors. All they did was make a list of as many of those errors as they could find, it wasnt constructive at all.
I worded it harshly, so for that I apologise, but the crits are constructive because you can imagine the opposite effect: the arms are too skinny? Do them thicker. The cloth looks stiff? Try more relaxed strokes.
I tried mainly to criticise what I saw to be attempts at proper anatomy, which didn't look like specific stylings. But I do get a bit sick of depictions of females whose bodies' sole purpose seems to be to act as a 2-dimensional clothes-hanger for a pair of inflated breasts.
Really it's nothing personal, and I thought some crits would be refreshing amongst the "lolz thats hot".

You're apparently not getting it, as I've said it twice already. I don't need a critique on a piece that's 8 MONTHS OLD. It's not like I'm going to go back and change anything on a picture so old, and I have improved anatomy a lot in the last two-thirds of a year. "But I do get a bit sick of depictions of females whose bodies' sole purpose seems to be to act as a 2-dimensional clothes-hanger for a pair of inflated breasts" jesus, you can't stop, can you? Doing additional criticism in an "apology" reply, yea, that really helps.
It didn't sound that harsh when I wrote it, but I agree it seems that way now...
I feel my crits are legitimate, and related to what I thought were non-stylistic effects such as basic anatomy and cloth, but I decided to write it in a dramatic fashion, which makes it look like I'm being abrasive for no reason, and for that I apologise.
Crits are fine, but not when they sound like ridicule. When you put art online you have to accept that some people are going to say less-than-positive things about it. It's up to you to decide whether its worth taking into account, or whether it's best to ignore it.

I like the slimness of her legs, the tattoos, the gloss of the sun as it hits her skinlike fur. I like flat butts--it makes girls look more athletic. I like the head design--she looks more canine than feline in this painting. The pose and composition, along with speeding starfox's fighter, add depth to the environment. Blue is a cool color, yet it looks like a warm scene. Brilliant proportions and coloring overall! This is one of your first pics that I saw, love with your style at first sight. :3
