Before he get's coloured and dithered, I'd like to hear from you guys about colours and/or something else you might have in mind you want to contribute with?      Latest edit (Nr 8) The biggest issue here is what the heck I'll do with the neck, keep making layers of feathers? Suggestions! Thanks!! |

• Birds and birdlike creatures always have 3 talons not 2, I almost sure :/ • The upper legs don't seem to match too well, perspective wise, maybe its the lower leg, hehe. Anyhoo there is something wrong there. • It may be cool when colored, but keep an eye out when coloring that the wing and beak don't appear as 'side view' as the lineart shows. The tail and talons/feet are at an angle. • Very nice creature :) ------------- |

Oh noes, me thinks, talons come out the back of the 2 toes, not 3 up front. Its looking great tho. The colors may be a bit boring, maybe. The eye is lit from a different 'line' than the bird itself. Keep an eye on details like that. ------------- |

But.. but, crap! I thought I knew what talons of a bird looked like, but now when u mention it.. true! And I carefully picked these colours maan, mabye I can eaven it out with some interesting colour of it's neck... I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Any suggestions, or is it still mabye a bit boring? The neck is the biggest issue atm, you know what to do, I do not! The talons will be fixed, hold on! Thanks a lot, really! |

I like the white on the neck maybe just use a little grey to show some feathers on it instead of just flat white. Looks great, I am anxious to see how this turns out. ------------- http://www.kwigbo.com">
