Thanks to Tilemahos Efthimiadis, Joyrex, Dave Hamster, Scallop Holden, Zeusandhera, Night_fate, Thomasje, Iversonic and Mimiliz for the lovely stock images ;-)

I found the inspiration for this work in a photoshop magazine of a friend. The name of the artist who describes a tutorial of something similar to this one is Adam Smith. Thx ;-)

Dunno why the wings are transparent, but it's a good idea & mood. IMO a bit texture heavy, but that's just me...good luck.

The scale is fantastic.. you can really tell you spent a while working with this one. I personally don;t like using textures much but i think you used them very well on this occasion. The silhouettes are a nice touch, but the building should cast the same strong shadows as they do.

Great overall work Good luck!

Pretty nice scale on the things. But I would make the wings a lot bigger and work with the edges of the wings, as well as making them non-transparent. Could add some bones/veins or something on them to make them more realistic. They look pretty much cut/copy/paste/too big pencil when cleaning the edges now. Or you could try inner shadow effect for the wings. There are also some bit careless masking of the edges. Work with the windows and there is a major left-over from a colour mask on the right edge of middle part.. some dark trash there. Nice colours and eye sockets, worth working a bit more..
