Mason Rancourt Harpie for the Beast
this is the first time competing in a contest for me.
i have chosen to make a harpie for the beast as it can be a very odd beast.

Watch out for wing anatomy, there's a little more to it than the feathers you have. There should be 10 primary feathers, rooted at the carpal and 13 secondary rooted at the ulna. These are then covered by covets, both secondary and primary. Coming out of what would be the bird's thumb are alula feathers that act like the flaps on an airplane's wing. There are then the lesser covets that you have sculpted on the wing itself. This is as important to your creature's anatomy as the muscles you've sculpted.
Keep it up, It's shaping up to be a quite unique looking beast.
