Feather Brained Cont'd

I was staring at this piece for a long time and then it occurred to me to add another bird creature to the mix in an attempt to tell a story of some sort. I'm not sure if it really helps here at all but the idea of another creature of its kind itched my brain. Had to scratch it before I could even go to bed yesterday night. I also dabbled with the colouring as well but that's not turning out too well. So, I'll just show the black and white version for now.

Warm Ups

Well I decided to warm up by referencing from people photos and then adding feathers to them in the end to make harpies. I fleshed out the pose that I wanted and found a matching photo to reference from, mostly for the torso/head/face. Realism is pretty damn challenging.

Edited:

Updated with an attempt at drawing a background for this character. Perhaps they have launching pads throughout their world and a place to bird-feed/check their mail. =P

Howdy

He (or she, I really can't tell) is trying to reach out to everybody. Give him/her a chance.

Friday Fright Night!

Was drawing this gross thing up while watching bro and Dax draw their DC characters on livestream. I totally recommend it. They got me fired up to draw when I wasn't feeling up to it. 'Twas fun! And that is what it's all about.

If I can remember to do this, I might do up a 1 hour monster thing every friday night while they do their livestreams.
