Description **PLEASE NOTE**
This is a character from the novel I am currently working on. They are not for use as a role playing character or as a character in your stories, nor is the art available to be used as logos or icons. Please, do not steal! Or I will find you.

Alright, that aside, here it is. About 20 hours worth of work (I hate feathers) and I have finally hit the point where I'm not going to get any further with it. This is Whimsy, one of the characters from my upcoming novel. I'm not going to say much about them except that the name is very telling, and that this character is perhaps my favorite that I've ever written.

If you are interested in more about the novel I'm writing, give me a comment and I'll send you a link to the website (still somewhat under construction, hence why I'm not posting it until it's done).

For the nitty gritty...
Time - About 20 hours (its my first digital piece of this proportion)
Original size- 6400 px by 6400 px
I referenced two pictures (one of a wolf, one of a peregrine falcon) from various nature books I own. No photographer names were given.
Tools used -
Decent amount of sanity, PS5 and a Wacom Bamboo

Comments and faves are highly appreciated, constructive critiques even more so!

There are some Egyptian influences for this story They get reflected in the characters.

Wow, nice work, can I create a creature like whimsy but not the same as him? I will credit original design and inspiration to you.

Depends on how much you're basing it off of him. I'm trying to keep him as unique as possible, he's not a "open species".
Do forgive me if I sound possessive, he's a pretty big character in one of my novels, and his design took me a long time
