"I like it!"
Actually, it's not exactly new; it's more of a throwback. Back when I first designed Voltaire, I made him with digitigrade legs. However... being the fursuit-obsessed child I was (past me would resent me calling him a child), the shape of the legs looked more like the shape produced by fursuit padding, as opposed to an actual digitigrade stance.
Sighs...
How foolish and unlearned I was. I eventually gave up on the look, because it had gotten difficult to work with; honestly, it was for the best, because the way I used to do digi legs makes me want to gag. But, now that I have some semblance of an understanding of how wolves' legs look and work, I was curious to see how Voltaire would look with them. I may stick with the new legs - they're fun!
As for the massive tail... that may or may not stay. But whether I intended it that way or not, Voltaire's tail has gradually grown larger and longer over time, and that is a fact that I am more than willing to embrace. ^^
I tried making the ears a bit bigger as well, but that may not be as noticeable. Maybe his ears had already gotten about as large as they could.
If you've got any tips on how I could improve the legs, or just my drawing in general, then I'll do my best to incorporate any critique into my next piece.
Looks good! I find that digitigrade legs are easier to draw than plantigrade. This probably stems from the fact that I mostly draw feral critters over human-like ones. xD

How is it, doing the digitigrade? I can start off well, but wind up messing up a lot more myself! XD
