Well for starters, it's...haha just kidding ;)

I'll use the famous quote here:

"looks good"

in all seriousness, it's wings look a little too sharp at the edges for just a thin piece of flesh, and the right claw(hand) looks upside down...

but thats just my nit-pickyness.

I figured it was just the angle of the hand although you may be right. As for the sharpness, It is a statue.

I think the textures are slightly to blurry for a statue, needs to be a more rough texture... although, Id prolly say the same about the actual BS statues.. so who knows

looks good avo1d, cept for the wings again. The back of the wingfolds are too pointy, try to soften the skin sharpness.

It looks as though it's saying 'Talk to the hand' because of the right hand/claw, or something like 'Yehhh, shot yer piehole' if you look at it in combination with the head. I think that should be fixed, though it could just be the angle of the image (haven't downloaded the files yet).

For the rest it's very high quality. Great work.

hey avoid, q and a suggestions

did you make the entire mesh, or did you get the mesh from somewhere and modified it?

The trick to making your wings more realistic(right now they are a plane... planes have 0 thickness technically which is too thin obviously

so simply make a second plane that connects at every edge vertex and simply lift the vertices slightly away from the other plane
