Well hot-damn! Saw this on Twitter before here (as I was busy today), and I realized, "oh, that's right! I almost forgot about that request!" lmao But it's all good though 'cause this was so worth the wait!

Posing is exactly what I was hoping for, and it came out splendidly! Amazing work with the poses and getting them to look active and expressive, not to mention natural; great job positioning that arm behind his back while the other arm is supporting him firmly from off the ground as he's straining to holding himself up with that push-up! Speaking of which, the facial expressions on both parties are absolutely fitting for such a scenario; totally diggin' the smaller mouse coach - is that honestly a character of yours or just a generic random character in general? lol - calling out to Leo and urging him to push on with his reps while Leo's straining with determination to hold himself up with that one arm as he does that evidently-difficult push-up! Excellent attention to detail with the action lines around the key areas of his body like his arms and glutes to show how much he's struggling to maintain balance as well as the beads of sweat around the sides of his face and arms to imply how intense and tiring the training is for Leo! Plus the eyes on both parties look very engaging, and the really show how into the moment they both are for various reasons! Loving the hairdo on Leo and how stylish and full in volume it looks! Epic work with the bangs and how nicely parted they are! Very well done with the small tufts of fur in key areas of his body while not overdoing anything! The wardrobe's looking well-fit on him; good work on the subtle folds and creases all over them! The background is absolutely well-detailed and very thought-out! Very creative idea having Leo's personal crest displayed on the wall in the dojo like that! Bonus points right there! And holy crap, I've just got to salute all the fancy kanji on either side of the crest in the dojo! Really adds that authentic touch! Colouring is so damn spot-on everywhere! Impressive efforts on the shading and lighting (especially within the hair and fur)!

Two things I unfortunately have to point out. His paw-print tattoo - while perfect in shape and size - should actually be on his right deltoid, not his left. If it has to be so that it cannot be seen, that's okay with me! Keep the tattoo off his left deltoid! Also he seems to be missing his Naruto-inspired facial markings. Please fix them both if it's at all possible!

Remarkable work on this piece, Bashful! Thank you very much! Of course, I know even that doesn't do your efforts into this epic drawing justice!

You are awesome, and you should feel awesome!

Whenever it's fixed (if it's at all possible), may I please re-post your drawing on my page (giving you credit of course)?

I felt bad keeping you waiting for so long; I tried my best to make it look great!

The mouse character is made up for this pic lol

I’m glad you like the background and such. It was good practice, even though it took a while to ink and color

Oh man, didn’t realize the emblem was only on his right deltoid; I’ll adjust it. I’ll also add the Naruto marks on his face.

Sure! You can upload it onto your page, as long as you put my user icon and link the source drawing in the description. Just let me update the drawing first :)

That's okay! Like I said, I was in no rush as far as you finishing this! And the time you took into making this shows how much effort you put into this! :D

Nice! That makes it even more special and awesome! XD lol I want him so baaaad! X3 He looks like such a fun and interesting character, especially with that epic scar on his head (could make for a nice side story)!

I really do! Being a fan of anime and Japanese culture, I can see that you took careful consideration into making this look as authentic as possible! And not to worry! As I've often heard from other furry artists, "it's not a race!" :P

That's quite all right! I probably should've made certain things like that clearer up-front; same with the markings on his face! ;>w<

Excellent! And oh, no worries, I make sure to credit the artist all the time with their original links (if they have any) and their FA icons or other site links! X3 Sure thing! And thank you very much for doing this! I'm looking forward to it already! ^w^

I updated the pic
Is this what you’re looking for?

Excellent! The items in question have been fixed splendidly!

Thank you very much, Bashful! It really means a lot!

And I still stand by my previous comments on what I love about the drawing and who I love in it!

Hope the update will be on Twitter as well so that I can like (and retweet) that one, too!

Stay awesome, Bashful!
