Your interesting creature concepts never fail to amaze me, Anna. The dune cat is indeed very intereting. I also like the dinosaur-bird thing. Very creative.
I like your drawing style, but I will give you a few tips: 1.) Study different objects in different lights before attmepting this, but try some experimenting with lighting and shadow. You'll be surprised by how life-like you works become! Here comes Em, the limb-proportion-monster! 2.) Watch your proportions a bit, ie. the legs. The tendancy (with everyone, including me with my muscley-limbed creatures) is to make limbs very small and thin. You have to take into consideration the type of foot and the weight of the creature. For example, a lion is built for power and short bursts of intense speed, so their limbs are very muscular and their paws large to be able to accomplish this with their weight. Take your dune cat for example, if they do live in hot areas where it's sandy and such, the legs should be thin, and the feet small for speed which basically you have down. Ok?I'll be quiet now. Other than that, I'm loving it! Keep up your excellent work.
