Description

Edit: Changed the glowy parts.

I just love the simple but effective design. 

Sorry for being so slow with the last couple of these, I made the mistake of playing through Witcher 3 again before I finished this challenge... Freakin' awesome game, but it eats your time like it's nothing.

Constructive criticism is welcome!

Really nice! I agree, it's a great design. Naturally, being an owner of 2 black cats, I love animals with black fur. It's really cool how the dark fur accentuates the other features, like the eyes, for example.

Great job on the perspective on the body. The legs and paws are also well done, since they're flat on the ground. It's always good to establish a "ground plane", even if you're not actually drawing it. However I think the flow of the tail seems stiff. It might be a little too thick at the base, and the way in which it tapers off seems a little unnatural. I know it's kinda tricky because of the angle. Maybe it would work better if it curved inward towards the face rather than outwards. Also I see what you were going for with the glow around the yellow parts. And while I think its an awesome effect, I think the edges of the light are too hard. And if you really want to amp up the effect, you could add some sort of bright gradient in the middle of the bands. Of course luminosity layers (called something else in Photoshop I think) can do all this stuff for you, it's just a matter of using a very soft airbrush so it doesn't have to much opacity. Also, I think you'll find the effect works even better if you do it on a layer over the lineart.
