Your fur crit you requested:
You have the basics down, and it looks beautiful, but what it's missing are 'imperfections', stray hairs hanging in front of the eye, a rogue hair in the coat which sticks out defiantly, maybe a random strand or two that defies the 'perfect' silhouette. Those little things make fur more interesting and more 'real'. But also, don't try drawing every singly bit of fur. What you see in the coat isn't every hair, but how the light behaves on the hair, if that makes sense.
Hope that counts.
*narrows his eyes.* Stylistically, Aries likes this, it's more anime than y'give it credit for, but Aries can see elements of other styles in it...elements that y'kinda added to your stuff as an afterthought, but they function pretty well.
Aries'll make his point...with Carina herself, her hair collects in the classic anime 'spikes' or 'blades', one of the defining quirks of anime. Yet the wolf's fur doesn't. Not even a little. It's realistic, sure, and that works in places, but Aries noticed it right away, the realism of the wolf weighed against the anime semi-realism of Carina. It's pretty, sure, but that contrast of styles kinda weighs on Aries's opinion of this at the same time.
