She's absolutely lovely... and so are the celtic knot style dragon and snake in the corners. I like the duck too, but it leaves me with a few questions... Presumably they're in a tavern - will she stick the duck with the bill? If the duck is a monk, should he be glad that he's not a chicken? Chickens don't live too long as friars.

You know... There's really no cause to be rude. When an artist solicits comments, not all of them have to be sycophantic raving and 'ZOMG! So KEWL!'. There's not a damned thing wrong with constructive criticism and advice, and you don't have to be a great artist yourself to say what it might be that bothers you about a picture, or what you think might not look right or natural. You don't have to be able to /draw/ a horse to know how one looks when it runs.
I think Mr. Ackegård's artwork is absolutely stunning - I certainly couldn't do anything even remotely like it - but there's not an artist on the planet that can't improve their craft, and constructive criticism can help them do that. Calling someone stupid for offering that criticism is arrogant and rude.
Certainly Mr. Ackegård can take or leave any advice he chooses - but I don't see him or the people that run this site for/with him complaining when someone tries to be helpful.

There's nothing weird about it, really. She's what in Japanese mythology would be called a 'nekomatta' - a daemon that's half human, and half cat. They traditionally have two tails. In the mythology, the number of tails is an indicator of power - the kitsune, or fox demons can have as many as nine.
