i dont know what media you used but this and all of your pictures are just gorgeous and amazing.
looks like a mixture of a raven and a fox, everything in black, just awesomeness in its purest form. :>
With all your repect, im dloading the picture if its okay by you.
Title says it all
I really love how the whole image came together. I particularly like how there are 3 different light sources and all of them are shown by shadows and reflections on the figure. I also really like the contrast of the background....just good work overall
I have always wanted to see this! anthropormorphic bird with normal arms, and wings on its back. Birds in general are facinating to me, and ive played around with sketches of this same thing but have been unable to make anything good. Im very glad someone finally did it with so much skill. you captured what I couldnt. Thanks you!

I hope it inspires you to keep drawing, go go go
I'm lovin' it! :3
The balance in the light and dark background captures the eye. Makes people look inside the picture.
I love the use of contrast and how the image looks like a story, rather than an image. It's got character.
you can see the stern proudness of the creature but you can also see a trormatic past and it takes a great deal of skill to show that :)
Wow. I love the contrast and use of colour, it gives the image a nice balance and a sense of poise (as in, it's believable as a story rather than just a static image). The texturing you've used is very well done - Good job!
The only thing I noticed as a possible improvement (and this is probably only personal preference) is to do with the wings. At the moment they seem kind of small for the character; they wouldn't really support the weight. As a decoration they're nice, but maybe consider removing them (to keep the balance of the picture relatively intact) or enlarging them (I'll be honest, not sure how you could do that without overpowering the image)?
All in all, well done - keep up the good work!
I love your imagination on this picthe use of the magic on the mage and the background all great!!, very gd detail to yet theres not to much its so nice!
