Ooh, that's cute, I like the colour combination!

Refreshing and different to any existing colourations. :)
I would recommend adding some more contrast within the colours. Currently each area is obviously filled with one solid colour and looks a bit flat, even with shading overlaid on top. This is not your fault - a lot of skins have the same issue. Relying only on the base's shading and highlights to give a bit of depth.
You can enhance it by varying a colour, having brighter/paler and darker patches (usually following similar areas as the proper shading and highlights). Here's a quick sketch.
Of course your colours don't have to be really bright and shiny like that example, but maybe it helps to show the differences that varied colours can make.

This is more of a personal preference, but what about grey or black talons? The white sort of blend into the background of the site.
Also, I'd love to see a striking color for the eye to make it "pop" more.
Overall I like it though :) Looks good!

Thank you arete
I love your little drawings Marans. As much as I'd love to try to shade, I'm really bad at in in real life and on digital drawings </3
Nightingale, I did try black talons, but I couldn't get the right shade of black or grey. I totally agree I could have gone more vibrant though, if I can get photoshop on my normal computer, I sure as heck will play around with flashier color c:

You can get the older photoshop that runs on XP for free on the net if I recall correctly. I have it somewhere, I just have no idea how to use it.

If you can't get Photoshop, try GIMP, Krita or FireAlpaca. They're all free, and I've used FireAlpaca for drawing for a few years. It's really fast, lightweight and has never crashed once. :)
Anyway, despite a little bit of flatness, I still like your skin design. Hope you'll try some more soon.

I have gimp, but I have huge issues with trying to get a transparent background.... I did it once yesterday, and then I couldn't replicate what I did (i had to trash it though because we can't use deviant skins as lineart). The skin was accepted though!

I know the lines are a little light. Besides that, any suggestions?

Moracalle, the proportions are oddly cute! Looks like a cuddly fabric toy, with seamlines and felted colours/markings. Someone could actually make that. :)
Faint lines don't seem like a problem. Some artists use thick lines, others none at all. The subtle lines add to the softness here, it works with your style.

It looks adorable! If you have the basic greyscale for that, you can color a ton of time. I'd love a set of those guys!
