Turn number 2!

This one was difficult in it's own right.
Many of my sketches for this challenge contained feathers and more birdlike features but for some reason my brain went all "NO" in the end.
Instead I tried to focus the colors to a more brown and natural palett. I tried and I failed. Harr-di-harr! Next time I will pick out the colors first. Not just do what I feel like doing.

The second picture with the branch... I think it's pretty obvious how it inspired my art. At least it should be unless you missed the red plantboy up to the right. Yeah, there you go!
Last picture made me think of royalty, so I made a princess instead of a castle. I tried to keep her without edges like the building with some small detail as a reminder of her origin. Something something. Art. Art.

Challenge
February Combo Challenge - TWO DAYS LEFTAnother month, another art challenge!
I'm bringing back one of our more popular challenge types - a mix and match. This February, you are challenged to draw a character inspired by a random assignment of photos.

Here's how this will work:
Leave a comment on this journal saying you're in. (If you know folks who might love to be in on the challenge, tag them in!)I will reply by giving you three photos to inspire you.
You will sketch six different characters or character scenes inspired by the three photos. Each of these six should be quick and take no more than 5 minutes each. (Feel free to do more than six, if you'd like.)You will pick the one idea you like the best and draw the character design. Post a link to both the concept sketches and the final design in a comment on this journal.
Example:
Let's say you're given the following awesome photos as inspiration....
