this is what I've been doing.... anybody know how to improve it?

You've got a cool looking character. Great pencil rendering style. Nice symetrical composition. I would work on the robe more, try to fing refrence of a real robe (even just use a bed sheet from home. Right now the robe has no folds making it look stiff. You might want to try making the wings look more transparent (lightening them up on the top and adding veins ect). Make the cracks in the rocks more angular and sharp. they look a bit like roots.

thanx, I was already gonna work on the cracks and the robe, but I also added the wings to my TODO list

Yep... well one simple thing that could do alot to the compositional power of your drawing, would be to tone done that mountaintop in the back there! Right now it starts to interfer with the main character/focus point, and breaks the clear shape of the wings!

By toning it down, you would also add depth to the drawing Foreground - Background!

just remember that no bone is perfectly straight. They are always curved. And the wings bones make no exceptions.
Really nice anyway!

I'll work on the bones, but the mountain is staying....in fact there is gonna be another mountain top on the other side of the wing to keep the symetry
