From

Perhaps the best I've seen from you in a long time!

Like the person beneath me said: "EPIC". So from you, this is pretty epic!

Before I go on and cherish this to smithereens lets go over the stuff I think you could do better till next time:

The head, while attending to the overall feel and style, could be more - Head-like. I feel that the muzzle is way too big, especially when it is a female anthro. Don't get me wrong, long muzzle can indeed be used for females, but a shorter is easier and generally works better.

Her eyes are neatly done, Yet somehow i get the itch to say something is off. Might just be the entire scale of the character. I can't really say for sure, so watch out for that.

Her "ears": this again is related to the head form and shape/size: They look off, I'd suggest moving them down to where "Real" Ears would be, Or make them bigger or somehow more covering if placed on top

Otherwise I think you have done a stellar job with not only the pose, but the marks and especially the shading.

Oh, some more about the head: The markings, it might just be that, that is so offsetting? They seem to follow no structure of her head.

In-fact i'll go and say that the shading here, is the most impressive thing of it all. (beside the overall drawing, of course )

Your texture work is also very decent, no problems there

One last wish, if you should draw this character again in the future: The hands! They looks interesting with swimming skin between the fingers, would look very cool combined with stretched out wings.

Keep up drawing!
