bird

Bird creature. It’s mostly done but it still needs some small refinements (mostly the hands). I’m trying to develop a design that merges a bird form with a human figure without it being extremely creepy. I did a colored one a while ago that was way too human, and it even creeped me out in the end haha. So now instead of the creature being mostly human with bird characteristics, I’m reversing the proportions so it is mostly birdlike, but with some of the bird features exaggerated so it looks more human, most noticeably adding a neck and removing the butt haha. And switching around the “drumstick” area of the leg. I wanted to have a noticeable keel bone but it didn’t look right here. I’ll do it in another one.

Oh and the wings. The idea here was to have the first three fingers show as fingers/toes, and the last two would form the fleshy part of the wing. So the whole arm would look like a chicken wing and not a human arm. Though it doesn’t really look that way, especially in the armpit area. Still need to figure out what will look best.

Also is the background too distracting? Here’s what it looks like without it:

Or with both haha:

Think I like it with the original background.
