Description A bit of wing-practice, and here's Marquila throwing us a salute on behalf of the RAF and the noble RocBeak family line!
I always figured a bird salutes in this fashion since their wings bend differently from the way ours do and this is the only way it's physically possible for him to do it.

Of course, everybody can draw a saluted RockBeak in this ridiculous clothings like a scarf, goggles with a pilot cap, wrist bands, suits and armors, they have to do anything else or if they are doing with that. So, what do you think with that bird in thinks thing, I know, you know, they know. Right, everybody likes this drawing project, huh? If you are doing or going well, we will gave Γ  kind of reward or present or gift or either a kind of commission you see that you see.

This golden eagle looks so cool! He looks like a superhero to me. I think you should do more pictures of your golden eagle. Maybe you should give him scuba gear. You are a talented artist and you should keep on doing your own work as you wish. You will always have great talent to do your artwork so you can be famous in the future so people will like your artwork as you continue to work on your skills for your artwork in the future.

Your golden eagle is an amazing bird and he's great to be a hero.

Aquilia Dominatus!

Thanks very much for the critique!
(Though I'm sure there must be something I could improve, like understanding wing anatomy better...)

Ah, It's about time I got around to comment on one of my favorite characters from your cast (then again I have no favorites, I always treated them all equally, heh heh) and already i could see from the get go that this mighty and majestic eagle here really shows off his military status.

Vision) Right off the bat, I could see this eagle looks pretty powerful and his smile on his beak shows he has a heart of gold to match his plumage, there are some eagle characters in the universe but none of them has a mixture of both anthro and feral to the RL counterparts here and I believe you did a fine job with him.

Originality) As I said in the vision, throughout most media and gaming, there have been a ton of avian warriors like this mighty eagle and Marquilla really stands out as far as character design, and I could also pinpoint how you're getting better drawing the wings and tail feathers as he stands proudly with a salute! I almost could hear him say something but what it is, I dunno.

Technique) Now here's the weakest part of the picture, even though there's a lot of ghosting (again I dunno what the thing is about white spots in coloring with pencils) but the thing that strikes me as odd is the anatomy of his wings/arms that looks like he's bending it a bit unnaturally. I believe one of your commentors talked about how looking at real life bird arms and wings would assist you in getting the physiology down pact. Unless also you could do a hybrid of designs as well, but how to pull that off...well that's up to you on that. I'd also really study a lot of bird wing tutorials to get the right direction here but you did an OK job.

Overall Impact) Im giving this picture 4 and a half stars! Despite the anatomy flaws, I think with enough practice, I believe this Golden Eagle will look even more awesome! Remember to study the RL inspiration for Marquila and the rest of the Rocbeaks and break the characters down into individual parts before putting them all together.

Aquilia Dominatus!!!

Thanks very much, Alex!
I'm glad Marquila turned out looking friendly and heroic, even if the wings are hard to master... ;;

As someone who has played with the wings of freshly dead birds (I know that sounds morbid, but you take those opportunities to learn when you get them) I can say with confidence that birdwings Β don't quite bend that way. Β But he’s a cute character all the same! ^_^

Heh, thanks for the comment!
Kind of difficult to know how things truly work, yeah... but I certainly wouldn't expect him to be able to bend his wing backwards like the way soldiers salute, so it had to be more like this...

Marquila: Hehe, cute, eh? Ah guess so? Ah thought Ah was mair yer heroic type, y'ken...

I don't know what it is about your art direction. It just has such an English theme going on; especially the characters that you've built around it too. haha.
