Gonna give you an honest suggestion here.
I can tell you've been inspired by artists like Kankakanka, WildSpiritWolf, PearlEden, and Lyanti. And being inspired by other artists is a good thing, to a degree. That's how a lot of people start out; when I was first getting into illustration, I took a lot of style cues from my favorite peers.
But I think something that would benefit your art immensely at this point is stepping back from mimicing the aforementioned artists' lineart and coloring style, and instead focusing on learning things like light logic and character construction.
I took a gander through your gallery, and it's clear you've got a lot of potential, especially with real media. However, it's also clear that right now your understanding of figures in 3D space is a little weak, as is your ability to render lighting. It looks like you're relying on someone else's conception of how wolves look and move rather than on a basic knowledge of how to put together shapes, contours, and animal anatomy in constructing an animal character.
The most important thing at this point is getting the underdrawing right: understanding anatomy, how things move, how shapes look in different perspectives, what kind of negative space makes a good picture, etc.
Here is an incredibly thorough and solid tutorial about color theory, light logic, texturing, and all sorts of art fun. I think it might give you some good ideas.
This tutorial , though it deals primarily with cartoons, is an excellent resource for understanding character construction. The "line of action" part might especially interest you.
This site has some good photographs of various parts of wolf anatomy (paws, skulls, pelt, etc).
I hope those links are helpful; there's some great reference material in them. It's the kind of stuff I wish I had paid attention to earlier in my artistic career. I know that "drawing from life" and "drawing from reference" can seem like the most droll, boring things to do, but believe me, you'll be amazed by how much it can accelerate your acquisition of skills. It can be frustrating at first, but IMO it's worth it.
