super cool garrett! i think you nailed that 70/30 cute/dangerous bit. i'm really curious about those bulbs on his butt and head. do they emit light? or are they hard and coral-like? or are they all spongey like a sea anemone? I know you're going for simple design, but it would be nice to have a small amount of texture indication. just here and there.
Fun! I'm enjoying his having hooves on the front, even though he's on two legs. It's biologically rather believable, it looks like he's in what they call a "facultative biped" stage, where the animal has the option of either going on 2 legs or 4. The front limbs aren't quite developed for either the ground or for use like hands, it's a nice transitionary stage. Cool color scheme too!
I like the way you've rendered this. I don't know if you've been using reference from other artists for this, but I'm getting a somewhat Mike Mignola-ish vibe from this. If you haven't already, try looking at his stuff to inspire you and see if that yields any results. I don't know if that was your intention, but if you want his face to be a focal point, you might consider putting some interesting detail or more spots of yellow around there. Some kind of patterning, you know?
The only thing that might be a problem is that the most eye catching part of him is his tail. I'm
