@Nescio, hmmm, I looked at like a bajillion Ptolemaic eagles from their coins and it's all kind of the same strict iconography that I followed literally. The references are in the original post... In the majority of the coins, the talons are all angled weirdly like that. Maybe that's why he's so angry? It's just a bit of an awkward eagle... It's up to you guys...

Well, I agree the eagle's talons on those Ptolemaic coins are not always clear, however, I believe the idea is that it has two or three fingers pointing forward and one backwards around Zeus' thunderbolt. The eye is also quite prominent, sometimes. A few examples of varying quality:

A: the shape of the head and eye is complete clear and clan, the beak is perfect isn't exaggerated.

B the "scales" feathers style in very rounded and gives that effects of mid relief style.

the feathers that give thickness to the legs

That's a beautiful bird on a beautiful coin! Now look critically at:

@Nescio, eyes and a little bit more curvature.

If the emblem would look in detail like the coin I would not object. However, it does not. Can you see the difference?

I'm 2D artist here... let Sundiata work, was good feedback early but. this take time. may be I wasn't clear with him.

We need that specific eagle that coin. 

 

 

sorry if I'm hard but I see more than you... @Nescio as 2D artist.

obviously I'm requesting those changes, but in many years we missing this emblem. I see the problem you said. constructive criticism.

Sundiata is very good drawing, specially digital. so be patient, I give to him my feedback.
