Description
Ended up finding the opportunity to create a character for a design contest being held by RookKing .

Took a looong hard look at their characters and style and got a bit of a wintery vibe, particularly from Vireo.

The main requirements/preferences were bird inspired, bipedal, and 'natural colours.' Now, I know that red and blue aren't particularly natural, but feathers come in a wide array of colours and since I had the body white (inspired by a snow owl) I needed some colour in it so it wasn't so... bland.

"Simply titled the Winter Guard, sometimes referred to as 'Winter's Guard' is a large, avian-like creature of unknown origin. Some believe it is a sign of good luck, while others believe it is the keeper of lost spirits"

Some design info for better reference:
-The 'mask' is soft around the back and ears and hard around the beak
-Eyes are obsidian in colour
-Covered in thick feathers, especially around the neck
-Can get around like a quadruped if needed
-Hands and feet are dexterous

Design by me!
