Looks great. One thought is to make his left foot look like it's angled up a tiny bit. That might push it to look like he's running even more. Or, maybe you can put a thin oval under him so it looks like he's bounding up and down.
Yeah, agree with everyone... this looks really nice. Would it look more uniform / unified if your remove that sharp angle on the left knee and round it like the rest of the "joints" on the figure. It seems like the only element that sticks out in a strange way since all the other "joints" are rounded, but then again, it's hard to say. Really great job though!
Maybe when you lift the front foot a little bit. So it looks like it's running without touching the ground. Otherwise I got the feeling the bear is skateboarding. Great work though! :) Also nice portfolio!
I agree with Jeffrey and Anthony about the front leg. But it makes the bear a little too comical imo, for the client. It's all about Russia and transport, serious business.

"With a little help from my friends", like the Beatles would say :) Thanks guys (and Inka :P).
Going to let this one rest for now, new day tommorow.
edit: suggestions are still welcome of course, please bare in mind (no pun intended) I'm still in an early phase :)

Oh hecks yeah! It definitely looks like he's running... but he could also be bowling, and frankly, that would be just swell.

Great work Floris! Feel free to lose the toe, it's a too tiny detail IMO.

Beautiful!
What about decreasing the negative space between the back members and the body? Maybe it would improve the mark readability... ;-)

wow, thank you all so much for all the reactions!
@Alen: Yeah I know, but it completes the line from the bottom from his dark paw to the back of his knee. Might reconsider it though.
@Elbert&Juan: Thanks for the graphical hints! Will definitely consider those :)

at first glance i thought the bear was ice skating. Probably because its left leg is still fixed on the ground with a really pointy toe..

Looking good, Floris!! The hind arm still seems to look a bit separated from the rest of the bear, but maybe that's just me ;-)
