Beautiful, hard to tell it's drawn, especially the eyes and beak.

Holy crap, man, that's drawn?

I mean, of course it is, but...

Jesus...
Instant fave.

Very well done.

ZOMG... I love that!!!!!

Not bad at all! Indeed, it's quite good.

D.O.P.R

a good try

Holy crap it looks just like a photograph O_O Wow!

I think you succeeded, from the thumbnail I thought it was a photo manipulation

You knew what I think about it ;*

This is a stunning show of both the knowledge of how a realistic bird should look and how to go about creating that. Everything about this creature, right down the metal around it's neck is just about as real looking as it gets. The ears are really the only thing that still stands out to my eyes...but I wouldn't begin to know what to suggest that would help make them blend better.

Still an amazing piece of work though.
