Okay, lets see what I can do here. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
First of all, I want to say that the colors that you picked out for the background are wonderful! I have a hard time getting that color for my own dark background I highly commend you on that! Also, the detail in the wings really caught my attention the most! I kinda want to feel their texture! The pose is great, and I love the look on his/her(sorry for the gender confusion)face.
The main problem that really bothers me in this picture is the lighting (or lack of one). I do not know if this is because my own computer monitor is dark (I put the brightness level on its highest and it is still hard to see). I had to move my face closely to the monitor to see the detail. A little bit of lighting in the background (from moonlight or whatever), would give it a lot more impact. Nothing too stark bright, but something that would just help give the image more light.
I did, however, notice that the highlights on the claws and the sheen in the wings really stand out. The rock is also more lightly colored than the creature himself/herself. Some lighter fur hightlights on the creature's face, front legs, and left wing would help him/her stand out a lot more! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

As far as anatomy is concerned, the front legs seem too long. I would shorten them just a bit. Of course, if this is a part of the creature's anatomy, please disregard that comment. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

All and all, I think this is a very nice image. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Whoa, thanks a lot for such a long detailed critique, I will do my best to take care of all the things you mentioned 
I see what you mean about the lighting, I have HUGE problems with it - I'm always afraid I will ruin the drawing because I have no idea how to add lights properly

I often draw wings too. But they are usually small and just scraps, at my workplan on school there are many. Also drawing of my OCs and just random stuff
