[Update 1] A quick concept sketch of Talon Greyfeather from this morning. I don't know man, but it's looking a lot more like a bird to me now :o Perhaps if I have time later, I'll paint over the face so it'll look slightly more human. (On another note, yes, he will most likely have bird feet.)
[Update 2] This is quite a lot of update for "I'm most likely not going to develop this" :P As for the bottom design, the plan was making his head look less birdlike, but what do you know? It's still screaming out bird! I don't think the armor is a good fit for pirates. I also like the leaner body proportion from the previous design more. (On yet another note, am I glad digital painting class is happening soon. I'm trying to paint a bird, but it's resembling more like a wookie to me :o)
[Update 3] Yep, that should do it. This will be the end of my Bird run....
[Update 4] Oops...I lied. Thought I would post something from my sketchbook. Might as well...hehe.
Why are you so goddamn good at designing human/animal hybrids?!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate! What I really need to do is look at references so I can get the hawk features to look more anatomically accurate which should help sell the design much more.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting / rendering of the armor designs but I think your instincts are correct -- armor is too heavy for a flying guy! I like the first design best, with the cape and straps and lean build. I like the head design on that one best, too...I like imagining him as less human, the others look like something that you could create easily with makeup / practical effects and I just want the moon!
