The initial sketch concept nails it completely for me - I'd follow the hints of posture, perspective and shape in it more closely. The clean, graphic version you've got completely erases the dynamism and weight of the concept.
The consistent stroke width separating wing from anvil particularly screws it up for me - it should taper a little, reaching a point beyond the base.
I'd try and work back in the hint of shoulder, the slight fold under the chin and the feather-split detail in the tail.
Because you've stripped away the sense of perspective, the feet on the anvil don't really work - it's like it's standing on points.
