Original Characters - Bird Spirits - Owl

Okies, after being the first critter to set free my vector appetite, the Owls finally have a ref sheet and a definitive clothed, spirit, and bird form :D The texture on this one is more about suggesting an ethereality and oldness rather than grunge or feathers. The markings on their face are generally unique or nearly unique to each Owl.

Every bird spirit has three forms;

- its average 'normal' look, save for those people observant enough to notice that they either have odd coloured eyes for the species or retain some of their spirit markings.
- a 'clothed' form, which they sometimes appear to humans as and generally represent several things about their nature. For example on the Crows, they are chained about the neck. A sign they have the weight of sin and maliciousness about them.
- a 'spirit' form, usually the biggest incarnation of each bird spirit and often the most powerful and dangerous.

LOVE.

the only thing is that the sort of.. smudges? on the neck of the spirit form look like they don't really.. belong there or fit the style of the rest of the drawing. I'm not sure if it's the smudges themselves or the style they're done in... the rest of it is so crisp that they look a bit off
:icondoodle-bugz:
Yeah, they were added via a soft brush in Photoshop instead of making each marking in Illustrator. Was hoping they'd fit in a bit better or just look a little more natural or spaced. But I agree, they don't quiiite fit, especially as there is texture on top too.
