Cute and terrifying at the same time! could have been in the nightmare contest too
You have some round yukkies you might want to erase just in front of the creature's face
Yea those dots were added by the Nik Filter and I don't know why. I was hoping no one saw them but you have the eye of an eagle. I will try to clone them out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Those yuckies were actually in the external external source and were exaggerated by the Nik Filter.
You've gone batty!
Weird creature and great work as usual but I think you need to define the body edge a bit more where it meets the right wing. Check the right wing on the bat and see how the body edge is still defined?
Other than that, I have no suggestions for improvement.
That was a problem area. I spent more time on that than anything else (well not quite but it felt that way). I tried so hard to find legs that would just cover up that seam. I had the edge a little harder, then softer, and kinda settled on medium. Tried using some of the paintbrush texture to make it blend. Tried some color, and other types of brushing. Perhaps you see some solution that I don't, to which I am all ears,
but I kinda racked my brain on that stupid seam. I was hoping no one would notice but you and Z with your damned eagle eyes are seeing ALL of my faults!! haha. 
I beat on it some more. This is a before and after https://image.ibb.co/h8cTYA/before-and-after.jpg
You made it less defined. I was thinking more defined like in this reference......
