Description
Here's a commission for of Shere Khan and Akela from the Jungle Book.Man, I really tried experimenting with getting that fur texture. It was the most aggravating process, I have the upmost respect for artists who paint fur on a daily basis!
Critique?

I don't know how well you know animal behaviors, but I will point out that, when a wolf is aggressive, the fur on its neck stands up, and it bends the head down, ears faced forward, and doesn't show a lot of teeth, only baring mostly its fangs.
I hope that helps.

The lighting/ atmosphere is pretty interesting. I like the expression on Khan, and I really like those stripes 
Fur is tough. A good way to go is doing a bunch of studies from photos maybe.

Nope, that was a good reminder if anything. Sometimes I get lazy or think I can pull something off without a reference and I end up blocking out colors lazily.

It all looks so great and amazing, I love how you catch their expressions so well and the anatomy is properly! Though for a small critique, the tiger's left hind leg looks a bit off and awkward in that position, the wolf's same leg is alright, yet it's near having the same issue as the tiger, but the tiger's leg shouldn't bend too much like that unless they're leaning back or something. Lovely poses and great job
