The Bad: The bad is the anatomy. You seem to be missing a neck, giving the girl a bit of a stumpy look. These anatomical issues continue with an overly slender upper arm, making the character look a little odd, and the ears are overly large. With practice, all this can be fixed, so you shouldn't be discouraged by that (I know I have been at times!).
Another thing to note is your color choice. The majority of this picture is comprised of warm colors, then you drifted into a mix of REALLY BRIGHT cool colors on the face. This distracts from the rest of the piece due to the extremes. You might want to consider doing duller versions of those colors in situations like this to prevent a distraction.
Over all, very impressive. Color me envious of your skills. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hey, I really appreciate the feedback. You are totally right about the neck, I can't believe I didn't notice that before. Also, the upper arm being so slender was purposeful, I wanted a big size difference between the "human" and "cat" parts of her arm.

No problem! More than happy to provide critique.
Interesting thought about showing the difference in the arms. Makes me look at the work at another angle, now that I know.

An interesting take on the creature. Very well drawn. It would have been nice if there was more to the background though

Yeah, I was going to add a background but then I got distracted and lazy lol.
