Very pretty. The textures on the fur, hair and cloth are ASTOUNDING. I'd say the only thing that bothers me is that the shoulders and crease of the back are a bit too exaggerated to be realistic - if they were that defined, there would mosdef be other muscle shapes we could see through the fabric! - but that's a minor nitpick with concern to how beautiful this turned out overall.
Excellent digital painting skills!

Thank you very much! :D You're one of the people I always hope to impress.
And no it's not really a nitpick at all, the shirt would never actually define the groove of his back or his shoulder-blades like that without (like you said) showing off some other muscles.. I just like those definitions especially, so it turned out as such.
Thanks again, I feel like I'm improving when I get comments like this from people like you!

Okay, now I'm not one to have ANY artistic or modellling skills whatsoever, but...something's bothering me here.
The way the underwear's on him, it looks like that's the proper fit for them and that they're not pulled down or something. However, should the waistband be...around his waist? I though that tails were an extention of the spine according to the skeletal structure, and for humans the "tailbone" goes below the waist.

I'm not one to get finicky about the skeletal structure of anthros, otherwise my paws would have to be drawn very different to plausibly carry them, including thicker calves and bent legs etc. But especially with tails. I don't know jack about skeletons but I imagine the back being a slight bit curvier to account for the tail coming out a bit higher than where it would attached to a human-placed tailbone (from right between the buttcheeks? I wouldn't know).
From the guys' waistbands I've seen, they don't really wear them right up on their waist. On/below their hips looks more comfortable. Anyway I'll take what you said into account the next time I place a tail, just not sure it'll cause too much of a difference.

I'm flattered (especially on such an old submission, eesh), thanks. C:
Uhhh it's not really a technique so much as drawing something, dragging it into photoshop and obsessing over light/shadows for hours. Be sure to zoom in (and out, though back when I did this I didn't zoom out enough). If you enjoy crafting details for the sake of details this kind of picture will come to you naturally with practice. Just keep hacking, hacking, hacking at defining the mass, like you're sculpting clay. Hope that helps at all.
