Looks like an interesting piece! If you are looking for dynamic maybe the thing that makes it feel flat is the graphical details. They dont seem to follow the same perspective as the rest of the paint since its more 2d. Your head is very well rendered and I think just rendering the feathers with more depth and movement will increase the whole thing much more. I scale it out a bit and tilted the head, you could add a stronger cast shadow from the upper wing. I showed more neck and shoulder, you could try play with that. If you keep only a portrait then its gonna be harder to put more flow into it, but wings and feathers can really help there. Try intergrating the graphical bits into metal intertwining or supporting the feathers/wings in the same rrendering style and following the perspective. | Artwod Feedback
