Can't say I care for the wings a ton myself, but I've not drawn angel like wings before. (Yeah... They are actual wings, not the angelic bow... but meh.)

Hello! blaugh Your pic is very nice and the wings aren't that bad; they're just a little off. Here's a tutorial on dA that should help: http://crysa.deviantart.com/art/Drawing-Angelic-Wings-Tutorial-23056695
It's got a couple different styles for wings.
Other than that, the hands on your guy are a bit small. Also, the eyes may be a tad small (but try not to worry about that since I'm not entirely sure; it may just be the glasses throwing me off). The nose is a little odd, however. Since you have the rounded jawline of a real person, the nose that's all pointed like an anime/manga person just doesn't look quite right. I mean, you don't have to make it totally like a normal human's nose, just round it a little more or something so it matches how you set up the guy's face. Also, the clothes wrinkles (those two creases that you make going from the outside of the pants inward around the knee area) don't really make any sense. They kinda make his legs look weird, like maybe he's got his knees jutting out in the opposite directions or something. sweatdrop But, other than that, I think it's good. rofl

I really like the way that you draw your wings and the feathers look so real. But I don't really like the shape of your face. Overall, I think your artwork's quite well done- for guys. 3nodding

Actually, this is the first drawing of a guy I've done in well over a year. Female anatomy is harder to do according to most people I talk to, so I figured I'd do women first XD. (Probably more like 2 years ago actually.)

I find females easier, with male anatomy I find it too easy to end up with something that's either square, or too curvy.
But anyway, wings are very hard to construct accurately. You have to imagine them sort of like arms, it's easiest to look at how dragon wings are constructed and then flesh it out and add feathers. There's a bone from the shoulder to an "elbow", then another to a wrist type area, and then there's the finger-type way the end of the wing spreads out. If that makes any sense.
