Extremely pleasant to the eye, indeed! Colors together balance the piece well and it's honestly just a gorgeous work of art! However, as this is a critique I will make some notes as I hope it will help. From observing the artwork and hearing out other critiques on the piece, yes, the wings are too rectangular. At first glance, it's lovely and obviously took great time to finish. Sadly, the wings lack much bone structure and needs a little more definition - perhaps with shading. The tops of all wings present, on the face, neck and sides, lack feather depth. The feathers are cut off awkwardly at the top and it reveals the wings as more 2 dimensional, which is counter-intuitive to the painting that visually has more dimensions. Also, the wing on the face looks too small at the beginning, the feathers should spread more on the cheek to give the wing a bit more stability, as it looks like it were patched on. Better merging with the feathers of the neck and the neck itself would be a good practice as well. Minor detail, but having more green in the artwork - as Celestia has green on her pallet - would be more majestic and visually appealing. Once more on the feathers of the sides, shading seems a bit too simplistic compared to the rest of the piece (toward the center of the wing). And finally, the eye is missing some reflection of light. Even though the eye is under shade, it still needs a reflection of light unless she is in complete darkness.Other than these critiques, your work is so beautiful and inspiring. Keep up the hard work and improving your paintings! Good luck!
