I sliding into a psychedelic flavour right now:

The chin looks demented.

Sorry, I have been watching a lot of the Yellow Submarine.

OH NOES IT'S THE POMPOUS HIPPIE-LIKE ARTWORK!

...er....yeah.

Anyway, you're getting better with your anatomy drawing, however I'd like to offer a few suggestions/comments:
1) I don't know if this is the style you're aiming for...but the limb extremities (namely the wrists and ankles) are extremely thin. It doesn't look like she could stand up properly.
2) The muscles in her legs don't look that defined....especially her right thigh, it looks too thin.
3) Her right arm looks a bit funny. I can't point out exactly what's wrong, but I think it's that line bordering the underside of her arm - it's dead straight. Consider trying to make it curve like the other arm you drew.
4) Her breasts take up too much of her torso (almost half of it, to be exact). Try making them in a smaller proportion in comparision to the torso next time.
5) Her chin is bugging me, but you already pointed that out. It's too big and bulges out too far. If it was made smaller, it'd probably make the face look a bit better.
Despite these problems, you got the anatomical proportions right, including the length of her arms. Keep up with the improving work! Happy

ARE YOU READY FOR FULL-OUT HOT LESBIAN PORNOGRAPHY? Well... I don't have any.

'Till I draw some, look at this. This was me trying to give another shot at anatomy, and added a little more fur to my subjects. I know the feet are weird. I need to work on those.

Nice to see you're getting away from simple poses and trying to draw something a little more dynamic. I'm not a person who draws furry characters, so my comments are going to be based on stuff not related to how well you drew the furry itself, more the proportions and stuff.
1) Consider defining her chest into two breasts. At the moment it looks like there's only one. You can do this by defining the shading underneath them.
2) Her waist (on her left hand side) curves out too far. It makes her look like she's bending into a funny position.
Other than that, quite good. The feet need improvement, but you already pointed that out. It's mainly the right foot though, you can fix this by putting it on a different angle.

It's alright, except her unaboob is way too big. Make 'em a little smaller, and try not to go so wild with the leg positions, maybe practice with someone just standing up straight on, and from a profile, and then gradually figure the steps in between, and how different leg positions look. (I don't know if the unaboob way intentional or not. I mean, I've seen some furries who are into such things, particularly bovinites, who love cows, and big milkin' udders)

Sorry for the doublepost, but Eggs, next time you see me, remind me to ask you to do some graphics for Halloween No Ingles 2. I don't have time for drawings, and I think your stuff is good enough for a No Ingles game. I'll give you details on it next time we talk, in private.

I was thinking more of cutscenes, maybe. I can make time for walkabouts and tiles, but cutscenes are just a whole different kettle of fish. It's way too late to impose on you though, so I'll probably just come up with something.

I actually sprite! Veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyy slooooooowlyyyyyyyyyy. This is just a guy I made. Hero sprite. Violet sword. I must confess I used a Megaman sprite as a start-upper. Is that such a crime?

This picture is me trying out broughts, and me trying to be funny:

I fail with flying fur.

Now, I play DDR sometimes, and it pawns my ass to Mars. So I drew this trying out backgrounds:

So, three pictures from Ryan.

#1: The sprite isn't too bad at all, but it does look a bit funny because of the image's current size.

#2: I like the pencil shading in this pic a lot. The lion's front paws need a bit more detail though, they look kinda flat.

#3: You did very good side profiling with the lion in this one and the background is well done. As I said before though, the front paws need work.

I like these works Eggie and I hope to see more stuff from you soon.

Yeah, I said "paws" because he's a lion, but I meant hands. Happy

Two more tries with anatomy.

I put on tighter clothes to help visualize anatomy. Never mind the speech bubbles. They don't matter.

The head sucks, I know. Never mind that, and focus on the other flaws that I don't see. What's wrong with her body? I put her in less clothes to help visualize anatomy.

The body proportions look fine to me. The legs are a bit long and sproingy, but that makes sense on a rabbit, right? Happy

The shading on the shoulder could be smoothed out a little, it looks a bit like she's wearing a fursuit (it's those damn wrinkles in the fabric, again!) Wink

What medium do you generally work in? Depending on what it is, I can suggest some art material considerations for you. Is there an art supply store near where you live? One more thing on the body, the overall feel of her posture is one of being posed...kinda stiff. The problem, I think, is that you need to be drawing from life. Is there anyone who can pose for you? Imagine a pose for your character, and then get your model to pose that way, so that you can acheive a more natural feel. It's important that your model provides you with a natural feel also, so make sure they don't have that 'OMG I'm on camera!' look about them, or you'll just wind up duplicating it.
