These are all the amazing compliments and feedback I've gotten about this character, 

I'm so happy to receive them, I put them all together in this tab so I can go back and reread them without having to search. 

Thank you so much <3 I really appreciate it!


"I have to say this is good  I'm no expert in the anatomy of the human body but it is nicely  proportioned (which isn't easy), hands are difficult to draw and they  also look in proportion and well drawn. The shading on the body is also  excellent and captures the curves very well. The wings look a little bit  bland, maybe a few more feathers in there, or more pronounced lines for  the feathers. The owl head has some nice contrast between the dark  tones and also fits well.

I can't see much wrong with it, be proud, this is a cool picture!" -Zero-Horizon on the DeviantArt forums

"The icy blue eyes are really mesmerizing, and her talon-like nails are a neat touch. I really like how you've made her legs and feet gradually morph into black; maybe it would look good if you did the same thing on her neck from the face down or up from her forearms and hands? Do her wings ever unfold, or no? If they can move, then nevermind the next part I'm about to say. If they're immobile, they would restrict her arm movement in their current position. Overall, very cool, I like her design a lot." -SonjaMae on the DeviantArt forums

"In my opinion, it looks a bit unnatural the way the head is completely  owl anatomy, and the body is completely human anatomy. I would try to  incorporate some human features in the face, and some owl features in  the body to balance out the design. The color choice is incredible  though, and I love the wings." -Monique-Renee on the DeviantArt forums

EXPLAIN RATING: 
Deirdre is just too perfect; the owl face and wings  are a really nice, and her color scheme is simple, but really pretty.  Also, the color of her eyes also contrast pretty well with her overall  palette. Something that I like about her design is the way that her  wings cover much of her upper body, and that's really neat for a  character design. Overall, her design is one of the best that I've ever  seen from other users. - Historia on the "rate the character design above you" forum game

EXPLAIN RATING:
Overall, just, dang. When I look at her I can tell  she's some kind of special being, something super mysterious. I can't  quite tell if she's malevolent or benevolent, which seems to be the  point for her. She's got soft features that suggest she's benevolent,  but she's kind of got a strange silhouette, especially with the horns  and contrasting features (black on white). If I saw her while walking  through a forest, I wouldn't completely trust her. However, I feel like  she's maybe too human? That might be due to my personal taste, but for  someone born from a forest, I feel like she could have more to her.  Something like longer wings or a darker, more obvious gradient in her  legs could help a lot. Even then, I think she still looks great - Animaloftheelements on the forums
