I saw your sprite, but didn't know how to explain my critique of it...
so I used Wyverii's head (shrunken slightly) to show you the approximate size I meant... (although this head doesn't fit with the image so you can't use it)
also, the concept had the "paws" entierely within the "wings" - so I added that too
please don't use this image, as it contains parts from other competitors drawings (which is why I'm not submitting this for competition)
