This bird-boy is based on an actually existand bird specie called "Cockatiel" (Cacatúa in spanish) [link] Such a pretty bird ^^
I just started drawing with lines a face....then I added a hair..that looked to much like Sora from KH, then I said t myself "What if...I paint it over kinda realistic, I deserve some time for me "...so I repainted the lineart and fixed the hair, then added a wing and a shirt, then a cage...dunno why bird + cage= reasonable..I think birds should be all free ^^'
I did all in SAI, then added the glow around the heart, the signature, the watermark (yes!, WATER-bunny-MARK!!) and frame in Photoshop..I spent 'bout 3 hours and a half
This actually kinda represents how I feel when I paint this way...no barreers no line..I feel much free and comfortable and sorta soothes me ^^..I think this is a thing I should keep doing from time to time
I thought that this was submition material so I wanted to share ^^
Aww! We also have those birds in Portugal, we call them Catatua, goes to the same thing one way or the other hehe.
I love the way you turned it around with this concept, such sweet eyes! I want to hug it, but I wouldn't submit the pretty thing to that xD The notion of volume achieved with the wing is amazing!
