Have i improved in rendering?

I have been rendering for a year now...and it doesn't feel like i'm getting anywhere. This is my First render and this is my Lastest render. Am i getting anywhere? Or should i wait a bit?

I liked both, but I think your shading still needs some work. And I never liked when people were adding those huge claws to every character. But that's just my opinion.

Not entirely sure this is in the right section, but that's besides the point I guess.
I'll have to agree with Sakujo. I love your rendering style, though if you want to shade, you might want to try and see which angle the "light" is coming from to help you out. Personally, I usually leave shading out because it's such a hassle. xD

Sakujo & Hunter :: Yeah my shading does need work, but i made the shading, in that image, before i put the background on. So the don't fit, i'll have to be more careful next time^^ I do need to make the claws smaller though, but i'm trying to make my style realistic, yet cartoon-y {balto cartoon}. That's why they have claws, because wolves have them c:

I personally love adding claws on them, lol. I don't see it as something you need to change. They look great on your renders^^

The claws are great, they probably just need to be shrunk a little. As for the shading, at least you can produce a convincing result, which is more than most artists can claim.
