For BLURRDURR
What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
First of all this prompt was really old, I feel so bad. It’s all the way from 2015!!! Anyway, this prompt was very simple to understand and alot of fun. It made me have to look through all their art and unique OCs to find an example of how they wanted a humanoid bird creature to be like, which was super fun because I got to see alot of neato birds turned into rad characters.
Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
Basically I just took the bird (bluethroat) and made it into a man. At first I had alot of trouble figuring out what direction to interpret artist. At first I was like “wow I can make him a CON artist” and he looked alot like Mephistopheles from Faust but I thought that would be too much of a bad joke so I went for something more serious.
The dull brown with the bright oranges and blue made me think of a minimalist painter, so I went to try that too. But it just didn’t seem to fit right and none of the minimalist painters had the right look I wanted.
In the end, I was listening to some pretty piano music and staring at the bird and I realized that bluethroat birds have really dainty little feet and talons that reminded me of the typical piano player fingers.
So I created this guy! He’s kind of an older man who plays piano with a lot of emotion and soul in it. He also has amazing hair and eyebrows and a lovely beard mustache combo~ Mainly because the birds themselves have amazing eyebrows and I wanted him to be kind of ginger ish~
I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to give him wings as well or not, so I included them on the sheet just as an example of what their design would look like, whether it’s on him or not in the end.

I’m really proud of this design holy crap. Not sure what my style is doing though (oops).
But this was heavily inspired by anubisgrl ’s characters and style, so shout out to my muse.

Finally I get to comment on this ;A;/)
Sorry that I took so long!
This is such a lovely design!!
I was SO in awe when I saw this in my notifications QAQ
Gosh, it's really been a while since I posted that prompt XD
I even posted it in two design-trade groups and it was abandoned in both of them for some reason so I figured nobody would ever pick it up but ajödfadsasdf holy moly, how wrong I was XDD
This fella totally matches my design taste~
I adore the beard and the hair :3
And the idea of making him play the piano is something I didn't expect and it adds to my OC family, I really like it x3
Also, no worries regarding the wings, I treat all my bird themed characters the same way - giving them the ability to let their wings disappear if they're in the way or anything.

Thanks so much for this awesome guy, I really can't wait to draw him myself and include him into my OC world!
I also appreciate that you put so much thought into this.
Your art style is really nice btw!
All the details omg ;____;

Oh no no, it's perfectly ok! It took me just as long to reply back to you, so no hard feelings.
Thank you so much!
Oh goodness
Ironically the first time you posted this prompt was the first time I ever participated in the group, and a year later it seems my skill level has improved enough that I have successfully been able to nab it! I've eyed the prompt with enthusiasm ever since I saw it so long ago, and I hope the wait to see your prompt come to life was worth it.
I looked through your gallery plenty of times to get a sense of what fellas were your design taste ~
I wanted him to be stylish enough to compete with all your rad character designs with beautiful facial hair pfft. I'm glad you enjoy my design choice there.
Well there's alot to choose from for "artist" but I'm glad my choice wasn't a distasteful one. I'm so happy you like it!
I'm glad I included what they might look like then, in the chance that he gets his wings one day~
I can't wait to see him in your style and with any other characters in your world!! It'd be an honour to have my design used by you.
Oh gosh you're really too sweet. In all honesty, I just go overboard drawing bird characters because I love their anatomy and all their scaley bits and feathers. >x<

Thank you! The Bluethroat is a very beautiful bird, very chubby with stick legs, likes to puff its chest out because it's all colorful ~ So I can't take credit for the colours, that one was mother nature.
