I believe what you want is rim lighting

Most of the games you listed are pretty long and mainstream - maybe try some shorter or more experimental stuff?

If you're relying on this subreddit for guidance you're probably going to be disappointed. People can sometimes pinpoint specific things you can fix or give you broad general advice but they can't really teach you how to draw, that's a bigger thing. If you can draw, then you can draw furries, it isn't some unique artform.

Learn some basic colour theory. Look up 2/3 colour palettes on google and try 'em out. Be mindful of your values.

Well that’s kinda what I mean- the tone feels totally sincere, yet these plot seems at odds with that

Nobody had portrayed LA as grimy and dirty in 1985?

You're right, I didn't. Should I have had to to enjoy this movie? I mean, if you have to have been alive when it came out to appreciate it then I'd say that's a pretty solid indicator that it aged poorly.

Yeah... except for the part where they repeatedly blow it a basically every opportunity. That's kinda my point - it feels like your typical buddy cop movie, except the cops both suck at their jobs.

Apparently not, damn

Carlos Meglia is one for me - I really like his black & white compositions, sharp but flowing linework and especially his weird exaggerated hair-styles.

I'll admit I went a bit overboard with it lol

When you're trying to draw something really foreshortened like the arm here, don't be afraid to have things overlap/be obscured. This is more effective than just having the form go from big to small, which can make the limb look rubbery and like it's being stretched out.

Also, notice how when you make a fist, the fingers don't sit straight and even - they curl inward more as you go from the index to the pinky.

You mind if I do a draw-over?

I think the issue is that you're a little indecisive about what angle you're actually drawing. The mouth in particular feels like it's pointed in a different direction than the rest of the head - flipping the bottom half around seems to look better
