Hello all. I am in dire need of assistance. I made this art piece. But there is a problem with it. I know the lines are messy, but that is not the problem currently. 
Something about the coloring is throwing me off. I started to shade it, and then I had to stop because I started to have a bit of a freak out over it. I have legitimate OCD, so when this happens it is very frustrating as I get extremely overwhelmed and obsessive - it generally ends with me spending hours (not an exaggeration) staring at it before deleting it and starting over. It's just like a nails on a chalkboard feeling, aha, or like a cheek-chew kinda frustration, and then I start repeating myself over and over and things get out of hand. That's how I can explain it - sorry I'm quite bad at putting it to words. Anyways I like the piece and I don't want to delete it, but I know something is wrong with it and with my current OCD predicament I don't have the rationality to figure out exactly what about it is bothering me. It just looks very...off. Any thoughts? Or could it actually be the line thickness? Or is it the colors? I'm sorry my weirdness is showing a bit. |

i don't know what your ocd triggers are but ,,, i dunno maybe it's the coolness of the brown compared to the warmness of the other colors??? |

Hmm overall its a really good peice! The problem isn't with the shading, lines or color its really with the leg. I'm not really good with explaining so I did a redline |

Maybe the fact that the blue on the arrows and the blue of the eyes don't match? |

I don't see anything wrong with the colouring nor the lines, they all look perfect to me. However, the back leg on the nearside doesn't look quite right. Do you think that might have something to do with it? Or do you definitely know it's something to do with the colours/ and/or lines?
Maybe try something a bit like this for the legs? Or follow T r e a s u r e ' s ahah- p[c]157083 |

Ya'll are life savers ^^ I definitely need to thin out the lines but the leg problem, now pointed out, seems like it could be what's throwing my subconscious off. The colors suggestions are also very helpful! I wasn't feeling this way when I had the brown as more of a cream color, so that's very astute. I appreciate the help! I'm gonna try and apply the suggested changes to the piece now. It's hard for me with my OCD sometimes to problem solve, so I can't thank you guys enough for helping me out <3 |

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest, but I'm definitely gonna try and fix the back legs as I think that might be the best bet ^u^ I appreciate you pointing it out! |
