So, here's one of my first (sketch)attempts at including
multiple characters in the background, and there are'nt many
anthro/fanstasy artists around here(where I live) to critique my work.
I'm open to advice,every little bit helps!

First off, great job setting an overall tone of the image. I really get a strong sense that these three are on a mission.

There are a couple things that I see with the figure on the left. His legs seem a bit large, and not directly underneath him. Also, his tail is in an unnatural location, so it almost seems to be coming from his hip instead of his coccyx. The redline is rather crude, but I hope it helps a little.

Other than that, the clothing seems a bit clingy for the kind of fabric the cut of the clothes would imply. I would suggest giving it more drape and fold, instead of appearing to be stretched in places.

First thing I noticed was that the middle fellow (wolf?) is going to give himself a nice gash if he keeps holding his sword that way. It might look cool, but it's not a very practical position for a sharp object, particularly one like that.

Second is that all three faces are very narrow. Look up reference pictures to get a sense of how wide muzzles should be. Google, Corbis, and a number of stock sites will have great images to use.

That's all that I've got at the moment. Like Sidney said, you've caught a good mood in the image. Are you planning a background?



Thanks for the redline,Sidney.I really apprechiate it.....but I kinda failed in one point.I'm just starting to work on female anthro anatomy,
(the characters on left and right), so it 's rather clear that I need
some work in that area....heh...
As a matter of fact, I just bought Steve Miller's "Freaks!:how to draw fantastic fantasy creatures" yesterday...so hopefully, my anatomical errors will soon be a thing of the past.

And yes, I will work harder to get character/weapon poses down right. :D
