Description *whines* scanner still botches up the colors, even CS4 can do so much with my knowledge to recover it....

This guy's been bouncing around in my head for a couple of days, when I was out job hunting. I did him in about 2 1/2 hours while I was being an art muse for one of my younger friends - a soon-to-be 12yo who I'm being paid to 'casually' tutor him. Mostly just being there to provide inspiration for him and I wasn't in a dragon-drawing mood, having already launched him into a creature-creating stage last week with his little ghost-leviathins.


Originally he was a pure Scarlet Macaw anthro in my head, then over the days he evolved into this form (besides I LOVE blue and gold macaws after the Sun Conures X3 ). He's still not finished yet accessory-wise, but I got the chance to use my prismacolor markers and pencils again to get the basic appearance down.

I've enabled critique because this is considered, to me, a WIP, any suggestions are welcome!


ATM he's still nameless and doesn't have a species name, but if people pester me enough I can make this into an open species.

Fun fact- the feathers on his arms aren't of use for flying, but he can glide very short distances, plus he's small in stature, about waist-height.

Account Scavenger Hunt Clue #2- While the mascot character is completely feathered and colored like a particular small parrot, she is a quadruped and winged.

Character and Art is (c) to ME

JUST VIEW, COMMENT, FAVE, and be on to the rest of your lovely day.

Neat design! Like the colors. I always like it when bird-like anthros have the wings as part of their arms. And I always liked bird-like dinos.

Such wonderful originality! I like how the lower part of the beak isn't carotin, at least it doesn't look like it, so it can move more freely and show more emotion. Beautiful colors as usual, and I like the lighter blue on the tail!

X3 Thanks! He does have a smaller underbeak, it's just creamy in color.

Oooh, very interesting. I love the colors.

Have you considered putting a feathered crest on his head? Some gold banding on the tail feathers might be pretty as well, but that's just my opinion.

Anyway, great design, especially the face . . . Including the pale flesh aruond his eyes and using a beak that actually looks like one makes it real, to me.

TaesoSpiritDragon In reply to Sludgee [2009-10-08 05:39:32 +0000 UTC]

I kinda figured that it'd be a good change to have a char that wasn't heavily adorned in the head..

Sludgee In reply to TaesoSpiritDragon [2009-10-08 05:47:41 +0000 UTC]

True, true. Plus I suppose it's a bit expected, so not having one might be a bit refreshing?

X3 He is such a pocket-sized cutie isn't he? The title was inspired when my close friend and physical therapist (the mother of the boy I'm 'hanging out' with) put a plate of cheese and crackers beside the clipboard with the drawing on it, and he looked like he was reaching for a cracker XD
