Hey, m_rybo. I am by no means an expert, so please know that I just looked at this and do really admire the lighting and style. It seems like the leg with the claw holding the feather is much larger than the right foreleg. This could of course be the way this fantasy creature's body is shaped, but if it is not, then I would consider making the right foreleg larger to be more in proportion to the left leg. And, again, I am just an avg guy who looked at this. It's cool. For sure. Thanks for being brave enough to share it.

Hi Brandon!
thank you for your answer and indeed it always feels a little shy about posting a drawing for feedback, but everyone here has been so helpful that I think is totally worth getting past that first fear :) funny coincidence the story behind the illustration is about a boy who shows his bravery and strength.
indeed the 2 front legs should be the same size and shaped like eagle legs. I used some references but I think that the foreshortening perspective on the leg that is touching the ground might have messed up the sizing, as it is supposed to be just slightly bent inwards and not completely straight. I haven’t noticed that until you mentioned it so I appreciate your feedback !!
