I could care less if you're 14, really!. If you want to improve you need to learn to take critique and learn from it!.

The next thing I'll say is that you should stop using the smudge tool!. (Over)Use of the smudge tool tends to give PS pictures an icky smudge look!. You want to go for smoothness!. One way of doing that is described in this tutorial here: http://greatalmightyqueen!.deviantart!.com!.!.!.

Smoothness would make your rocks and your snow look a lot nicer!.

Now, for the anatomy, it's pretty decent!. But it appears you're a bit shy of paws!. This could also have to do with shading issues, but the paws look as if they're sticking into the rocks!.
I just did a quick little redline instead of attempting to explain!.!. It's not perfect, but hopefully it'll help you a bit!. http://img!.photobucket!.com/albums/v372/h!.!.!.

Now, if you continue on correcting yourself and not always asking for 'nice' critiques, you'll be kick pretty freaking good by the time you hit my age (17)!. c:Www@QuestionHome@Com

lol be nice cause your only 14!? sorry but posting your picture for everyone to see is your own choice and people will say w/e they want!. dont post it if you dont want to hear rude comments!.
and yeah its really good, im glad they arnt pictures of yourself, i hate when people do that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You're only 14!? (I'm 14 too :] ) I think they look great! Your art looks pretty realistic in a weird, cartoony way, I especially like the 'Hiding from the Storm' drawing! the eyes project a certain innocence!.!.!.You're rly talented, so keep drawing!
