Hello, Ben! Good job on reworking your design. I find it a bit difficult finding things to improve on without overstepping on your initial layout. On what is provided I would say the tail is a bit too thick and there still could be less significance on the eyes as that is what I see in references. For a more informed feedback it would help me to know more about the character and the intended audience. Because form follows function. I would also try some other variations with different styles to give the client some options. This is a good start for one option and is handled in a realistic manner. I can see the underlying three dimensional forms how it could progress into a 3D animation platform. Once a final design is confirmed we could really get picky and pick out specific areas to get technical about and nit pick over. Also, maybe don't generalize the audience as just your girlfriend. An audience of one is a bit more fine art and character design is more inline with mass audience and appeal. Use her gender and age to help define the audience.

Theses are great and I can see improvement when reviewing the past few posts! Some of the messier ones are my favorites. Keep it up!

Thanks for sharing your drawings! I think drawing #2 ( Frazetta) and drawing #3 (Wrightson) are finding a great rhythm and saying a lot without saying too much. Drawing #4 ( 2nd Frazetta) - Love the dimensionality and force coming from the legs. The redraws from different angles are super fun. I would love to see more of the elements from the over drawings come across in the new drawings.
