It&#8217;s mostly done but it still needs some small refinements (mostly the hands). I&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8220;drumstick&#8221; area of the leg. I wanted to have a noticeable keel bone but it didn&#8217;t look right here. I&#8217;ll do it in another one.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t really look that way, especially in the armpit area. Still need to figure out what will look best.<\/p>\n<p>Also is the background too distracting?
