A quick concept design for Regulis, the UC Grey Eyrie I'm making an application for on Neopets. ^^ It's deeefinitely not the final design, I'm just trying out some things.

Okay here's a thing: I made the sketch and the Photoshop-lineart some week ago, but the past week I've been working so hard to improve my anatomy and when I was looking at this again today I realized I already have changed ideas about some stuff, for example the (fur in the) neck, wings, gryphon/eyrie faces, paws and legs, etc, hmm. :) But if something about the picture bothers you, please, do give some constructive criticism. I really want to get better.

I didn't check on the other comments so I'm not sure if these are mentioned, but I'll go ahead:

1) The wings need work of course. The feathers appear abnormally thick, and not to mention the square feathers :P The "top" of the wing should be the only thick part. The feather structure looks nice, though. I'd say changing the shading up would make the wings appear less thick. (Feathers are quite thin ;D)

2) I'm guessing he's supposed to be thick. Assuming so I'd still change the right arm, (our left) as it is far too thick compared to the one on the right. The paw structure on it is also quite different, and since it is behind the other, try making it smaller.

3) The tail needs some work, the end of it kind of balloons out, and the very end where the tail fur comes in is WAY too small. (Remember, tails have vertebrae!)

Other than that I'd say the image is awesome, and I love your style.

Next time you work on an image, try to mirror it to check for errors, it does help!
