This was no attempt to study perspective in first place if you would be kind to look at the first Link image I did of this one, but then I felt the need to update it a little because I liked it. I did figure out a couple of hours ago when I was cutting some paper that the beak is way too big and needs to be smaller and the feathers on the head longer. I know the head isn't right in this image and needs to be improved, even so I can still use it for flat coloring when wanting to create a new one and see how it turns out.
Of course I care about the little detail, I have spent many hours at images/videos of Anzu just to figure out how to draw him right, and I can tell there’s a lot of little things that I missed. Did you know that behind those head feathers (on both sides of the head) he have 3 blue feathers hidden by the ones above them. I did not know about them until much later. He have been one of my faves in WoW since the first time I saw him.
Also, thank you! *bow* ^.^

It's a pleasure! I'm happy to be of whatever small assistance I can. He was my favorite mount as well since the day I saw him, and only a couple weeks ago finally tamed him. I dare say I use him more than my flying mounts, now. It was all worth it.
Keep on drawing; I hope to see more Anzus from you.

Oh yes, there shall come more art of the Raven Lord! While speaking of lord I did updated the version I made of Lord Shen that I made quite a while ago, making it more shen as well as creating my own Raven lord character, Sika. You can be sure that more art will come :) just take a look and you migt find something new.

Lovely! I do love any rendition of Raven Lord that comes into my view. If I may offer my critique: If this was an attempt to study perspective (I get the feeling it was), you fell a bit short. Without any discernible shading or focal point that I can see, his head looks MASSIVE compared to the rest of his body. His head, beak, and neck feel wildly out of proportion to the rest of his body, and it immediately caught my eye as being... slightly larger than I'm used to seeing on dear ol' Anzu. This is, of course, only my view on it; others may tell you differently.
However, I can also safely say that you have a knack for cloth, feathers, and bird feet. The way you've wrinkled the cloth and drawn the tears is exceptional. Likewise, the way you've layered his feathers is masterful, and I'm quite envious of your ability. His entire hindquarters has that sleek and elegant, flowing look that I love so much on him.
He's a proud bird, I'm glad you've taken so much care in his detailing!
