CE-Krystal Redesign

Hello,

I am from <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/n/a…" alt="" title="Anthro-Feedback" />, and I am here to provide you with feedback, helpful tips and hints, and also redlines and greenlines. All based upon your request about feedback on this specific drawing.

The first thing I noticed, and also what I like the most, is the redesign, the shading, the tail, and her clothes.
The redesign:
Although I don’t know much about this character… I must say you’ve done a good job at redesigning her for this contest. She looks really good, and it’s easy to see that it’s still her. The problem with a lot of redesigns is that the “watermark” of the character disappears, and it’s not easy to see that it’s them anymore, but you’ve done a great job on this one.
The shading:
It’s simple, but really effective. It gives her a neat amount of depth, and I also like how you’ve been able to add light on her without making her look like plastic.
The tail:
I don’t know what you’ve done, but that tail looks seriously stunning. It was the first thing I noticed when I clicked your drawing. The shading and details on it are amazing, and I just want to hug it and pet it.
The clothes:
As I mentioned, you’ve done a great job on the redesign, and I really like these clothes. They look hardcore while they still keep her feminine side easily noticeable.

What I think could need more work is her skull, the muzzle and her pose.
Her skull:
I think you’ve made the back of her a little bit too small, so it appears that she have a very small brain. That’s easily fixable by just adding a circle on the back of her head before adding the hair and ears. Example will be given in the redline/greenline below.
The muzzle:
I really like your way of drawing muzzles, but I do think that you could work a little bit more with shaping them. Maybe you could try to make her muzzle a tiny bit more fox like.
I’ve found 2 lovely examples on how to draw muzzles: [link] and [link]
Her pose:
This is not really a big deal, but it looks like she’s about to tip over. To fix that you could easily just select all of her layers, hit ctrl+t and tip her a little bit over to the side. That would prevent her from falling over, and it would give the picture a more curious look. Example will be given in the redline/greenline below.
