Faun legs mark 2 - critique requested

[jinxy]

Heya,

So I've finally taken the plunge and started working with fur. My first piece is going to be a faun but I'm having some trouble with digitigrade legs. Here is what I have so far without hoof shoes. Any feedback or advice would be amazing!
Thank you are look forward to getting to know you all x

Thanks 
Am I right in guessing the calves may be too big and the thighs not big enough?

Yeah, looking at where the "ankle" is, it seems way too thick compared to the rest of the suit. I'd suggest putting some more padding on the front of the thighs, and taking another look at the angle that the ankle comes out at. It seems a bit too sharp.

So have just redone my faun legs, changing proportions, stuffing and shape.

I'd love some critique or feedback before I continue with the second leg.

Many thanks guys x

Very very well done leg! There are nearly no flaws. You should carry on with your other leg, as for me it's very good, especially if it's a redone .
Many wishes for future projects!

Wow thank you, that really means a lot. It has certainly been a learning curve

it looks nice ^^ looks kinda like one of those professional ones that coats $1500+ ^^

 been awhile but are fauns those 1/2 goat 1/2 human things in greek mythology? i didn't pay much attention in my English class when he were learning about that stuff : P

[jinxy]

I'm sure under closer inspection they don't look that professional but thanks a million  :

And yup you are right fawns and satyrs are part goat. Although I'm hoping to give mine a hint of deer with some white specks on the hide and a fluffy tail lol

Second leg done although I need to make the padding (a jumper did surprisingly well for the photo) and I just pinned my tail on

[WhiteAkitaKeiko]

Awwhww! It's seem coming together very well! Are you planning to do anything else? If so, I'm looking forward to it!

Is it only me, or the tail seems to be a tad small-ish?

[jinxy]

I was toying with making the tail a little bigger. Because it's based of a deer I didn't want to make it too large.

Next step is to finish the padding and the focus on furring up my boots and making the hooves
