Lion design; Crit Please

[Shadow_Fox]

I know the coloring is beyond horrid, only did this on the computer becuse its a lot easier to hit CTRLZ than it is to fix a mistake made with colored pencils.

The quality here matters not, Id like to know what you think of the colors and design. Please dont ignore this just becuase its not anime or impressive in the least. And my appologies for the huge filesize.
This would also be my first time drawing in The Lion King style.

To be the first, it's amazingly creative.

She's cute. Gotta say that.
She's got a bit of a hump in her neck which is eh.
Her toes are off, especially on the one with the paw up off the ground, I'd advise finding a lionking picture with one of the characters in the same pose and copy the feet to see where you've gone wrong.
I like the peircings, they're neat. But the hair's a bit much. it's very well done and all, it just doesn't sit well with me. That's more a personal thing than anything else though.
You lack of shading is making those stripes seem very iffy, just a general shading might help to blend that into the character more.
The tail is definately too thin. Lions have -thick- tails so throw some chubb onto it. Also a bit more length might help.
Ah, that's about it I can say right now, I'm not at my criticing best just now.
So first I shall say she's definately a very lovely design for a lion king character and then I shall say toodles.

Happy hunting!
~Pika!

Gah, spent ten mins writing out a post and the internet dies before submiting it... Heres the condensed version, then.

Thanks everyone.

Who Said Pikachu; Ran out of time to fix the neck, but I did notice that as well. And forgot to mention that the colors here were literaly just thrown on, not even bothering to stay in the lines. Only colored it to get a feel of what colors looked nice on her, not shading it means that its quicker to go in and change the colors according to what you guys thought of them. And the hair I cant change much for shes based on someone I know who has that hair style. Thanks so much, by the way, you comments really help.

Vile; Hey =D
I fail at paws... Might you know whats wrong with the face, though? The mane covers some of it up by the way, if thats the area that looks off.
