Description This is my OC character Cosmo. A deity, who's soul used to be attached to a star but his star was destroyed by a dark creature called the star eater. Because the star eater wasn't able to consume Cosmo's soul he took revenge and cursed him; turning Cosmo into a star eater too. Now Cosmo travels the galaxies, hungry for stars, in hoping that one fateful day he shall hunt down the star eater and take vengeance. If you remember what Cosmo looked like previously.... his design has changed a lot. His old design... well I made it many years ago, and is very tacky which explains the change.

Wings are not anatomically correct because they are only for decoration and he doesn't actually use them to fly. The feathers are the wrong way around though on his right, I realize that now.

Mm, his old design may have been tacky, but his new one is very sleak and elegant. :3 lovely job! I love the colors you used in the sky as well, especially the clouds.

Cool story too. :0

Also, (forgot to mention this is my last post) just look at a lot of references they help a lot. ^^ I own two birds as well which helps as I use their wings for modelling / referencing too although depending on the type of bird wings vary greatly. :3 <3

Aww thanks so much hun! And cloud backgrounds are fairly easy to do with a bit of practice there are a few tutorials online you could search and should help a lot. ^^ Although it does depend what program you have haha. x3 <3

That's really nice! The design looks really good, I really like the markings. The shading also looks great and the colours are lovely. Those wings look awesome too, there is so much detail in the feathers. Great work!

I've seen that song popping up a lot, and I don't think it's necessarily new, so it's interesting (but I love that song so it's alll gooood)

But that's a really interesting story! I'd love to see more

It's a beautiful song! And no it was in her album from 2 year ago but I've always had a soft spot for it. x3
And thank you so much! <3

Ffff, so lovely! <3 I just LOVE that shade of purple for his body. The detail of the wings also look fab. And I like this new design. It's much simpler and puts much more focus on the character itself rather than the details. :3

Aww thanks so much Trish! And yeah thank you hehe I agree looking at his old design now it is very cluttered it makes me lol because it's like SPARKLEDRAGON haha. xD He's still a sparkledragon but not as crazy I don't think. x3 <3
