Description
A gryphon,But rather than the usual Eagle/Lion, it's a Hoatzin/Jaguar(?).
Hoatzins are cool and are one of my favourite birds and if you don't know what it is then go look it up or something because they are super pretty.

Ultimately, this is amazing.
Firstly, the hading is beautiful. You've clearly been aware of the different textures (many) of your character and their surroundings while shading. Even the smallest details such as the moss have been carefully rendered to show depth and light.
While on that train of thought, the lighting is also on point. it is very sharp and direct, but also nice and soft. In areas like the chest where the texture is present you have used lighting really well to show this. It is just divine.
Your linework and colour are also amazing. It's clean, thin but thick enough to comfortably house the colour and shading. Colour has been applied carefully and purposefully, creating amazing contrasts (such as between the blue and range).
There is literally only one thing I would suggest working on next time, and that is backgrounds. I know you think they are satan himself come to earth in an attempt to murder you slowly but a detailed background would really lift this piece. It would add even more of a magical 'feel' to the drawing.
All in all this is just incredible and you should be really proud of yourself <3

I like hoatzins, harpy eagles and ravens and I can't decide which I like most.

I think that's fair enough.Β
Omg Australian ravens are the best ravens though.
