I gave you some pointers on your fanart when posted before .. The first one really could use some more figure drawing. It's very confusing when his face isn't visible, he has a tail (..) but his hand shows his facing towards us. I can't tell if he's facing us or if he's looking "into the picture".

Judging from your image you should try to get a grip of the life drawing, then use his hands to express him (since his face isn't visible at all). Then you should use his striped clothing to show the shape of his body.

I agree that there are some anatamy problems that could have been easily fixed had they been tackled in the drawing stage of this. You always want to make sure your anatomy and drawing is right before you dive into the painting or finishing up stage. The figures here lack structure, which is so important to making good figures. Adding the structure will also help show the mass and volumes of the figures so that you can add the proper shadow patterns to them. Right now, they seem so flat because there doesn't seem to be any shadows... that or there isn't enough contrast to make it believable. I really like the first painting, just fixing those anatamy problems would make it even cooler.
