This is probably an unnecessary worry, it's just that I'm still relatively young to cartooning and so wonder if my constantly going off-model with characters is as big of a detriment as it is in my head, and if so, does fixing that require 1) more practice or 2) a studio full of people making sure you stay on-model

hmm... I didn't even notice you were going off model, until you said so lol... Practice never hurts, but one of the things that has helped me a lot is making a detailed model sheet or at least a turn around.

my experience is that most people won't notice unless they're looking for reasons to complain.
It's definitely good to be on model, but there's some wiggle room. as long as the major identifying shapes remain the same, you're pretty much good. (plus there's some leeway with furries, anyway- we aren't as picky about face shapes on animals as we are on humans, and there's markings/colors to help us keep track of everybody.)

Actually that has been on my mind too--we're not as picky as with human faces, but shouldn't that mean there's room to improve accuracy even more?
Of course I'm probably just crazy and am doing just fine

not crazy at all.
you just seem like a bit of a perfectionist. -
I didn't notice at all. Those are details my brain has filtered out, figuring they are inconsequential. If my brain didn't do that, and the details were not directly relevant to the comic, then I'd be distracted. On the other hand, if the details allowed you to add more accurate emotion and expression into the postures, then it would serve to strengthen the comic. To me you are already doing great in this respect. If the problems stand out to you, then maybe if you payed more attention to body language and posture, the accuracy would come naturally to facilitate this. In this way you may improve the art in a way that strengthens the comic. That's what comes up for me, anyways...

Well, if you're worrying about being off model. Try to make the 3-D figures of the characters that should help you stay on model. However having character model sheets should be fine as well instead. Practice more won't hurt after it.
