This piece is over all gorgeous and is well deserving of any and all the favorites it receives! The character is very well drawn and the clothes/folds in the clothes are BRILLIANT. "A+" on that aspect!! Also the shading of the character it's self it well done and beautiful!However a few things to help you out for next time. And these things are not ment to be mean, I will say that now, because you are one of my favorite artists here so bear that in mind. First thing I'd like to say is, you really aught to take some time and play around with your line art. While your drawings look brilliant, it would help define them better if there was SOME kind of line art. Now obviously this will be a personal preference thing, but line are does not have to be solid black thick lines. You can use varying dark shades of the characters fur to outline it. Just a thought.
Secondly, while the fireflies are adorable, you may want to try to make their wings a slightly darker/lighter shade of their body color so the wings won't look so out of place. I still adore them though seems as they are awfully cute and the color you choose for the glow is excellent!
Now we come to the background. While the subject of the painting (the fireflies and the griffin) look fantastic, the background looks ... "half-assed". Does that mean it's awful?NO, however, compared to the character and other backgrounds you have done, this one seems very quickly splashed onto the paper when I myself and anyone else who sees your work knows you can do so much better!
Overall though this piece is absolutely wonderful addition to your gallery and a favorite of my own! Your style id surely flourishing and reminds me (in the best of ways) of my all time favorite artist Griffsnuff! So keep up the spectacular work!

You really gave her such a solid, three-dimensional appearance. As always, those textures are just superb! I really like the subtle sense of motion given by the grass and the angle of her head. The out-of-focus lightning-bug helps make it even more believable, as though this is an actual moment the viewer gets to spy on. Keep rockin' it, girl.

Its gorgeous but my only criticism is, I feel that it looks somewhat unfinished. It needs a little more time and attention to shading. Although you're hinting that its night time, I'm not getting enough shadow information out of it as it should be giving. It needs to be a couple shades darker overall and just needs more shading and possibly more highlighing too on certain features like the beak the legs, the shoulders, etc.. just because of the way the little bugs emit light and im assuming there is a moon somewhere in the distance. Other than that, its not bad

I wish I could draw anthros better...I would draw avians more often if I could. They are so under appreciated. You are very welcome. I really like this and it is nice to see you posting on a regular basis again
