Thanks so much for the nice comments!
Yep, it's the cheetah that has no retractable claws. (They were my favorite animal as a kid :D) It's because they use them to run, and can't climb trees like most cats.
I see your point about the ears being too small. I couldn't figure out what way to make them face. Canine ears usually point forward... I think. Can they move around the way feline ears do?
(I read the notice that said the IRC channel wasn't working. -.-I hope they can get the new servers! It would be awful if Side 7 shut down only a few months after we joined... but I better stop jinxing them. >_<)
Hmmmm... I definately like the hands and the feet. Very well done. You accurately captured the shape of most of the canine species. (I think it's the cheetah or the jaguar that is also considered a canine--no retractible claws^^) As for the anatomy... the arm is a bit long, but beyond that, everything seems proportionate--for a wolf dude. nods very well done.
The only thing I might gripe at is that the snout seems a bit small, along with the ears...but that might just be your preference there. nods Beautiful.
