Comment on Boreal ghost by Monopteryx
NICE! I love it! I love the work on the feathers and how the face came out! Very strange, but very well done. 
Actually, my only point would be that the snout would probably be scaled or naked because feathers would become filthy during eating which could lead to infection, but this is still a beautiful piece of work! I love it!
You know what, scratch that last comment. The feathers on the face are awfully short, so, much like the hair on a polar bear's snout, they wouldn't really pose any sort of hindrance granted the animal remains diligent about grooming, as bears are.
