Killer Instinct inspired I see.

I think it would benefit from some fur.  Right now he almost looks metallic.  I'd tone down the green a bit too and try to make it look more like cloth than rubber.  I'm liking the face, though the eye position looks a tiny bit low and too close to the nose.  I'd also work on the silhouettes of the hands and right foot (his actual right foot.. not the one on the right) they are kind of messy and hard to read.

Lmao Serena makes a good point XD

I kinda feel like the bright green detracts from the whole thing... mb just try out another, more muted color?

Aw, come on.  Donald Duck never wore any pants, but nobody complained about it :P

This looks pretty good, though as abz said, the green is a bit too saturated.  Also, you might want to try introducing a bit of color into the fur; straight grey is a bit boring.  Outside of color crits, the shirt looks painted on; maybe give it a border of shadow to differentiate it from the fur?  Or texture it differently?  Something like that.  In general, this could use some polish; some of the edges are a bit rough.  Looks like a good start, though.

Actually, Robalan, Donald Duck was banned in Finland for that very reason.

Hmm, I thought it was proven to be true...?
As to not derail the thread, I think the upper arm's muscles are too defined, and you could smoothen out the borders. Also, he has no dewclaw!

Bah.  Sarcasm doesn't work on the internet.  I was being some cross between facetious and sarcastic in that Donald Duck statement, just so you know.

in the 70's one city stopped getting donald duck in favor of some sports magazines, which led to some angry people calling the congressman behind that "the man who DENIED donald duck from us" After which it was a case of bad translation and noisy phonelines.  :P

But back to topic, i think the good doggy needs something to give it a bit of an edge. Like fry suggested, give it some fur and maybe a really rad and messy haircut. Chest hair is a must as well. The mouth area has some hard to read details, mainly the left side of his jaw. Some bits and pieces of clothing still hanging in places could add some detail and the green shirt looks a bit lake bodypaint rather than shirt, so stretch the shirt over concave areas rather than constantly following the surface shape.

Other than that, it looks really balanced and the pose seems comfortable for a werewolf. Looking good so far.
