Description updated wingy-nova ...
honestly, i don't think of myself as winged, but people seem to really like them, and they ARE more fun to draw.
Nova is an arctic wolf with red tailed hawk wings/feathers and lynx-like tufts on the tops of her ears.
When i first decided to give her wings, they were RED.. like a typical red tail. Later i switched to white to match better, but said they were snowy owl instead. recently i discovered there's such a thing as a WHITE red tailed hawk (squee!) [link]
it's not an albino, which is a complete lack of pigment (and has pink eyes), but a leucistic, which means just a low amount of pigment.
anyways i was happy to discover this, which meant nova could return to her roots while still keeping the monochromatic color scheme

The little doodle in the background is some old (and i must emphasize - old - because she doesn't know i'm putting it in here and will bite my butt for showing it off, hehe) art from of nova and chad, the balloon.*

The three blue/purple jewels in nova's ear are the same ones has in her forehead...they are sisters.
nova's mate is the white dragon

*chad was a silly result of me wanting and not having a boyfriend, so the solution was to draw this face 0___o on balloon. yep.

Nova's pose was garnered from [link] :}

yeah i've seen a lot of them (and many other critters) where it looks like someone just slapped some wings on that don't belong at all.
i like gryphons, as winged beasts go... but they're half avian anyways
the only reason i ever wanted nova to have feathers was because despite feeling totally canine at heart, i was raised with SO MANY birds.. they still feel a part of me :}

I think that really makes the difference. Apart from the fact that you have great imagination and skills, you are interested in birds and not only wolves. Most people that do winged wolves don't have that interest and can therefore not combine the two things as you can. I suppose your many gryph drawings also helped to find a good balance between bird and mammals.

Even when it's all outlined and everything, she still looks so soft! I like winged wolves, but they're so overdone nowadays that they've lost their appeal, but you make them so amazing! I'm jealous!
