The Bird in Good Humor

 


Toying around with some new art of Caeder! It's been a while since I've drawn an updated fullbody of this guy, and he's gotten significantly beefier since last time. I also got to show off the new leg and arm updates for pennies, which is exciting! I love that talon-y look they've got to them, and they're now the only major Platform species to be digitigrades, which sets them apart from the rest a little. Whatever my reasons for drawing him, though, it looks like he's enjoying himself.

A fun fact! I posed him to obviously be sitting on something... And then didn't draw any background at all. So it looked like he was just floating in a void on his rump, which was a little odd. Hence the oval thing in the background now -- at least it looks like there's some sort of ledge he's sitting on. Messy, but effective.

Also, I tried a new method of drawing peacock trains. And while I think it looks alright in the end, oh my gosh, it was incredibly hard to draw. I spent five hours just on his train. I know I'm a slow artist, but even for me... Dang.
