Your vision for the creature is astounding to me; all the anatomy seems to make sense, and the skeleton I can imagine would be realistically proportioned and able to support the body of it. You clearly specified a light source, and the way light contours to the beast's body shows features one may not see from an non-shaded version. You seem to have an excellent grasp on how to realistically combine animal anatomy parts; everything from the paws to the beak to the bright feathers are well-chosen and complement each other... While still making anatomical sense.
The piece's originality is fairly good. It reminds me mostly of a griffin or hippogriff rather than an original creature, but it's still a fairly original idea, and I'll give you that. What I do like is the strange fur-like feathers the creature seems to have. That adds an extra touch to its originality and makes you think about how something like that would work.
Your technique was just as excellent as your vision. This is a style of painting/drawing I often see but don't usually like all that much. However, you were able to present and perform this style in a much more detailed and beautiful form than other works, which some can appear flat and rather 2D. The lighting effects present a clever feeling of 3D depth, and it gives the piece more detail into the correct anatomy of the creature.
Impact was pretty good, I've definitely got a new style to strive for when making creatures (Which, I haven't actually got around to putting effort into).
Overall, great piece, wonderful style. I find myself secretly wanting to ride one of these...
