I actually think the fur texture looks very nice.

I think the texture is excellently done

Good Job Dan. Pretty well drawn. His eye is really expressive. Also liek the variety of mark as well. Right elbow, I think is my favorite part. Anatomy is mostly spot on.

Overall I think its a good piece, one of the better ones I have seen from you lately. The shading is nice, grants it a degree of depth. His hands are nice. I don't know how I feel about his right arm though. It is a bit bulgy, the upper to lower arm seems to have a disconnect, like his forearm needs to be thinner? I like the left hand a lot. And the hint of whiskers. Not sure about his muzzle though, its kinda off. Dats all!

Looks good, I do like how you did he textures. it looks really fluffy!
