I really love the colour choices and shading style used in this. It's very lovely to look at. (especially those eyes wow)
The one thing I suggest is working a bit more on the anatomy of the wrist and possibly making the paw bigger, just to make it look a bit more natural to the character.
This piece is wonderful overall, and you've definitely earned yourself a new watcher. I cant wait to see more in this style.

I LOVE your painting style
