Avian Art

I asked Tyme about transparent backgrounds and how open she is to feedback and doing check-ins while in the process of creating the bases. Here's her response:

A) Absolutely!
B) Very open. especially when I'm just starting work with someone, feedback helps immensely so I can get a feel for the kind of look/ style preferred. To be completely honest, I'm pretty displeased with the example I gave you, so I'm kind of glad you weren't satisfied either haha.


So given that, are you guys on board with Tyme being our avian artist?

Then it is done! I'll talk with Tyme about being our artist and how we want to proceed. I think the first thing we should work on is fixing up the Orit so it's a clean, finished base. c:

EDIT: It's official! Tyme is Volary Sky's avian base artist!

Updated Orit! c:

Tried to incorporate all of your feedback, retaining the general pose but thinner linework and amending the wing structure. Aimed to mix predatory bird features with the natural anatomy of the woodpecker - and took some artistic liberty in giving him a little more prominent fluff crest for character. 


From demo:



Also, Elk - would you prefer I start a new board for posting final and WIP bases, or even separate boards for each species? How would you like to organize progress updates, feedback, etc?
