Black Delcatty

I'll attempt to put my bias for the color black aside in this critique. I like the sharpness of the features, but I detect a bit of a white outline where the shadow should start (especially around the mane). This could be you difining the mane and parts of the head more, but it messes with the continuity of the vision in my head. The only other point I can bring up is shadowing. It seems like you're using pillow lighting, but the sparkles in the eyes say that the light should be coming from the top right. The red in the ears say the light might be coming from a different, lighting up only the outer part of the ear (I could be wrong and that's just their coloring). The blue in the eyes say the light is coming from above, as do the rest of the features. Other than that, I enjoy this piece emensely.
