I think this guy is very clean and very well done. He could use a bit more work on the muscle, but the NMM looks great. It looks like you were going for a touch of SENMM. I really like the work.
7.5-- Looks like you went with a very earthy color scheme. Very natural looking. The (I assume) NMM is crisp, and the talons/claws look weathered. I want to say that his fur needs a weeee bit more highlighting, but better to keep it simple then ruin an overall good job. :) I'd love to see other poses to see his face/back.
