"I also have a question for you to think about.. where did the other wing go?? Right now it only looks like it's got one wing so you might want to make the left wing more visible. "

Thank you, I really appreciate this critique and I will be looking back on it to better my future work! <3
The left wing doesn't exist simply because he only has one wing. This owl came to me in a dream, squawking and freaking out and it only had one wing, which is where gregory comes from!

Very cool! I should probably write down more of my dreams and do more artwork inspired by them as well! Glad you found it useful!!

Love the colors and the overall idea. It's really interesting too add those three fictional animals together to create a completely new fiction character - and it looks realistic as well!
The difference pieces such as its body, tail, head, and wings fit well together and look like they belong due to the lighting coming from the same source and the overall color. I do think that near the tail, it does loose the warmth in the fur a little too much and separates that feeling of it 'being all one animal' if you get what I mean. Or you could also cool down some shadows on the head on wing to create the same result in a different way. It is a nice shadow and adds great contrast in addition to the lighting going on, but I believe it could be a bit warmer than it is in order to bring the animal together more than it already is. Also, the fur change to the wing seems a bit abrupt, making the wing look separate at times. I think a small fur texture where the fur is ending would be nice, and then it slowly ends for the feathers.
Overall, I love the colors and the texture is amazing. This is really original. I also love how his eye really stands out by being a complimentary color. His face is probably my favorite part of the piece. Another thing I like about your lighting is that in the background, it looks like there are subtle rays of light, and it is lighter at the top of the background. So much to say about this piece, it's amazing!

O_O WHOA!! *mouth drops-open*
he reminds me of hedgewig =w=

he looks... real!
wow, excellent work on this piece! the fur details are stunning.
I have to say I agree with the above about the head not quite looking connected... perhaps it's just the pose with the wing. It's better than something I could pull off rofl XD just an odd pose, and the wing covering the points where the neck meets the shoulder may be part of the illusion? *shrug*
beautiful piece though. that's harsh criticism though, most wouldnt even notice it. ^-^ keep up the great work and improvements! Im liking the progression of backgrounds <3 can't wait to see more, Falves!

I think this one deserves a 5/5 on everything, never seen a one winged griffon before and if there is one then shoot me OuO and i love, absolutely LOVE the type of realism implied in this technique

Interesting combination of creatures. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I admire your imagination. Nice choice of colors as well. The cool colors of white and blue give way for red to attract attention.

i wish is could do critiques because this is utterly breathtaking. the feathers look so realistic and the way the sun is hitting them gives off a magnificent and whimsical essence to teh picture

"steal and i will impale your skull with your own skull"
Anyway...I really like this creature! It's awesome

Beautiful! I really like how you took a more realistic approach!

I really love the concept and the technique used!
Although it feels to me like the head and neck are not really connected to the lower part of the body. Probably because of the rotated head (which doesn't seem natural to me. I know owls are known of their 180Β° turning head but still... ) and the neck which is too large?
I illustrated my critique with an overpaint to make it easier to understand;

MM, i see what you're getting at! i appreciate your feedback a lot and thanks for the redline
gregory as a character though has crazy amounts of chest fur just like all my characters, think lion mane.
but that's just my excuse

This gorgeous 
If I were to critique a few things to keep in mind in the future:
The top half doesn't have enough contrast. I would highly suggest separating the character from the background more. The shading on the character is gorgeous, but the shape gets lost in the similarly toned background.
The wing looks just a tad disjointed. It's not really a big issue, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Overall, very beautiful piece. I look forward to seeing more from you!
