im a developin' artist so maybe not the best person to comment. But i knows what i likes and i likes what i see

[Fuchs]

I like this. I dont see anything wrong, so great job.

there is something...odd with the rear side of this creature

the left rear leg I really cant comment much since its the less finished part of it, but it seems like its turned back as if in movement, is that correct?
Because if so, the movement doesnt looke very natural. Take a look on how animals move, in this case Im guessing a mammal. Also, the leg would have to be a little more raised (it looks like its eating on the ground there)
How the leg is is also something odd. He looks like a table
Something like that wouldnt be able to move very fast, and actually would have to hop around if wanting to go faster than a crawl. Youd have to put another joint on the begining, like a normal human knee to allow it to moves faster (like most mammals), or invert the knee you already have (like an elephant). Remember mammals move always one side, then the other when walking (not including some felines and canids running), while reptiles moves the front right leg and the rear left leg first
Once again, the left rear leg seems to be begining on the wrong place compared to the right one. You should push it a little back

Which takes to an interesting point...whats up with the butt visible from over the left leg?

Actualy it looks like a gorila, or some kin of monkey.
The only problem i see is the back leg, it's twisted or out of place
and Kalfor- is right it may have problems walking

Cheers for the good comments and cheers even more the heavy crits.

The insight into what i should be thinking as i draw is very helpful,kalfor. Despite it being a somewhat fantasy creature, i realise now i should still think such things as how can it move and such. Using ref for such creatures is something im trying more and more to do.

And to be honest, i have no clue as to what i was thinking about the whole butt being seen from this position thing. Arg :S
