You're right, it's hard to tell, but I think it may be the head - it doesn't seem like it's on the right body!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd have to say that the biggest issue is with the creatures' hindquarters - specifically its back right leg!. The position it's in right now makes it look like it's much too short and that it isn't supporting any weight!.

To prevent this sort of problem in the beginning, it's usually best to work from a "skeleton" and then flesh it out!. So just do a little repositioning of the legs, and I think you'll be okay!. I'm linking a few images to animal skeletons so that you can study up on the hip and leg joints!. Animal anatomy can be really fun to learn!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

To me, the problem with the head is that it is not clear whether the head or the neck is closer to the viewer; they seem almost on the same plane!. I think you mean the head to be coming forward more, but it's not quite reading that way!. To my eye, what's causing this is that the line of the neck goes directly into the edge of the right side of the jaw!. If the jaw overlapped it a bit, I think that'd go a long way toward bringing the head forward!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure!.!.!.I'm no expert honestly, but to me it looks like a very masculine face and features on a very female and graceful looking body!.!.!.almost seems like it's prancing which jars with the faceful features!.!.!.hope it helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The head is positioned a bit weird!. also, the hind legs look conjoined!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
