Catherine's Gryphon

Really cool, the feathers and fur look realistic with a lot of texture but not so many lines to make the picture look too busy. Real neat take on the gryphon with the snow leopard

Nice work with the details and the shadows, but I would suggest you to try to define more the feathers, specially the larger ones

AHHH!!! He's got such cute little paws!! He looks like a little baby griffin :3

Critique though... I suggest bumping up the contrast so black is black, and to use more intense shadows (on the griffin) so that the black background isn't so cut/paste. Black back grounds are fine as long as it's complimented.

Lastly I suggest watching your pencil textures. You've got alot of parallel brush strokes there which look flat cause there's no natural variation. I suggest using a scribble rather than lines to tone your pics- maybe even using a smudge stick or your finger to soften the tone, then put concrete under it to give a texture as you rub it or something. Hope that helps ^^
