Yordle character concept

Depending on what this for concept-wise, and how close you want to stick to traditional yordles (to my understanding the league of legends small anthropomorphic animal characters, feel free to correct me) use what ever criticism ouse helpful.

Eclectic and Eccentric

Yordles are usually diverse, high energy, and very driven. They don't half do anything, it's 150% or nothing. When you're not a scientist, you're a mad inventor deep diving into your work. You're not a soldier, you're a daring and brave bombardiar or a crazy explosives expert. You're not just a evil wizard, you're a power crazed megalomaniac desiring the world to feel nothing but pain.

Yordles wear who they are on their sleeves and are excessive in every way.

This is just a guy with an animal face and fur. I can tell nothing about him from this besides maybe he uses magic or technology with the things he is holding. I can't tell what his personality is or what he does at all.

Unless you're specifically trying to be plain and boring, you should really think about what you want the design of your character to say to people who see it.

Yordles do not know subtlety.

Cute and Exaggerated

I don't remember what the soft rule riot has for yordles but they basically have the same proportions as toddlers.

Big heads, small bodies, exaggerated hands and facial features. (Eyes, ears, mouth)

Your design swings a little more normalized than a traditional yordle and with that larger mid section and tapered legs, you're communicating a character with an above average strength. (Possibly on purpose though, so it could be fine)

I would resize your body to make the head bigger and features more pronounced. Again, yordles do not know subtlety.

Silly and Spontaneous

Take this with a grain of salt.

Yordles are silly and wacky and cartoonish and wild. They don't hide who they are and they don't care what you think about it.

They are the gnomes in your D&D

They are the Roger Rabbit in your live action movie

Sometimes out of place and usually comic relief.

I don't get any of that from your character though. He just looks like a guy. Standing there. Yep. He exists alright.

If you're not going for silly purposely to juxtapose a yordles' normal thing, then that's a huge deal and should be explored mainly. Right now though, it just looks like you're making an ordinary character who happens to be short and furry and honestly, that's not what yordles are.
