Tau for Eurukatt from DA :3
Colour pencils on Canson 24 x 32 cm , C grain
It is far from being perfect to say the least and all mistakes are jumping at me, screaming mindlessly "YOU FAGGOT LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" but this picture killed me, so let me R.I.P. now D: *logic, I have it*
Critique is highly appreciated, preferably with overpaints

This is a wonderful piece! I adore the lighting, and all the details and time and effort you've put in to it! The musculature is really nicely defined, especially along the spine.
If I were to give two pieces of CC, I might note that your closest wing bicep feels slightly less defined/toned than your farther one. The other one being to perhaps overlap the background and the tree trunk differently so that the defining edge of the grass/cliff isn't hidden by it, and might help sort of push the distance between the two a little more.
These are just minor, though. It really is a stunning piece of artwork~

I don't know enough technical stuff to give a proper critique, but I can point out what I think looks funny. There is something about that yellow lighting that I can't place, as if it doesn't have a source. I can't really tell where it's coming from, because it's only in certain places, and that kinda throws things off for me. To me it looks like you started on the head and shoulders and then decided to change the lighting on everything else.
Another thing is the shadow of the red ribbon on the right wing there. That was the first thing I actually noticed before I started looking at the image overall. The ribbon doesn't look translucent but the shadow is definitely red, which implies that it is. I think it should be given a bit of translucency (I can't say how, because I'm terrible with color myself) or the shadow should be more in line with the rest of the shadows on the body there.
That kind of ties in to my other point, that there's no cast shadows anywhere, for instance, from the leaves on the body of the creature, or from the creature onto the tree. It's the only other thing I can see that nags at me. The only reason I notice this kind of stuff is because people fuss at me for doing the exact same thing, by the way.
All that aside, I really like it. Something about the bells in the tree creeps me right out, and the composition really flows well. What media did you use? Your rendering is great.
