Thanks! I was trying to keep the shading subdued, and it was created for a single panel of a comic, so I wasn't overly worried about making it perfect. Contrast seems to be something I'm constantly battling, though; most of the stuff I upload here will probably have shading that's too soft or too harsh.
This is stunning. Great work. I love the way you've shaded the fur (except that I would perhaps have used a bit more contrast)
I think this needs some black outlines to give a larger feel of depth. And I knew this was you from the fact it was Neopets XD
