Myrsky eating karjalanpiirakka.

I didn’t realize the size difference between seagulls and magpies was this extreme. I don’t remember what gull species that is or if it’s Esra’s species, but gulls are pretty big in general. If the height differences were semi-realistic, Esra would be really tall and Myrsky would be pretty short.

Picture not mine, i found it from Google and used it to demonstrate a point.

Does anybody else get “ghost notifications”, or is it just me?

When i look at my blog, it says that my original posts have x number (often more than 10) of notifications, but when i go into the post, the actual number of the notes ranges from three to zero. Does that mean that people liked my posts but changed their minds?

The protagonist Myrsky looks like a magpie, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. She’s a magpie-blackbird hybrid (possible in my verse), which results in having a white torso area like a magpie, but the rest of her body being brown like a female blackbird, and aside from the coloring and the tail generally looking like a blackbird. She covers the white area with clothes to avoid discrimination, and if somebody sees it, she’ll claim it’s leucism.

The child design is still too cartoony, and while the adult one’s pose, head, and beak border on the best this far, it could look grittier. The teen desing is supposed to be basically the same as the adult one, just smaller and with a little bit fucked-up tail feathers. Note the stance, backwards knees, vague wing-hands, roundish head with swept-back feathers, and the long centre feathers of the tail.

Trying to fine-tune Esra's and Myrsky's anatomy.

Christmas

The thing in Esra's hands is her fisherman cap. Myrsky gives it to her as a gift when they're children.

The style comes off as too cartoony, it has to look more realistic/gritty or people aren’t going to understand that this is not a childrens’ story.

#in my country christmas is celebrated on 24th #but i didn't have time to draw yesterday #image quality is questionable because it was taken with a phone #like all my other pictures #i have a scanner but it's full of shit #it's too bright and nothing ever stays straight #and with a phone i need to use my other hand to keep the phone case's flap out of the way #then i need to try to push the button with my thumb #while being careful not to grt my shsdow on the way #that why they're a bit shaky #the myrsky series #myrsky #esra hurme #original characters #original character #traditional art #my art

I drew young Esra again.

This is one of the best heads i've drawn so far. It's difficult to get the double-curve of a seagull's beak right when you don't have practice. Notice the rounded square-shape of her head, and the head fluff that’s only in the back of her head and stops before the square’s horizontal line.

Rare black barn owl

#photography #animals #bird #reblog #barn owl #black barn owl #melanistic barn owl #the coloration is very rare but completely possible #barn owls in general vary greatly in color #from near-white to pale orange to dark orange and black and brown to brown #that's why in my bird novel draft the large royal family are barn owls #they need to all be the same species for obvious reasons and they need to all look distinct from each other while still being realistic #barn owls are perfect for that

Penciled/Partridge

Penciling is a pattern of two to four black lines following the contour of the feathers on either a gold or silver (white) base. The dark brahma variety is silver penciled. In most breeds, gold penciled is called partridge. Adding blue or lavender dilution genes dilutes the black to a shade of grey. Dilution of gold in addition to the lavender gene results in a color commonly referred to as Isabel/Isabella

I’ve had the same posts sit on my dash for THREE DAYS. Nothing new, nothing gone away. Even after i dismiss them as not interesting me, they keep coming back.

#i want to get rid of the usa election news that are propably a week old already #the least this site could do is to provide something new

You like one random post, and then your dashboard is flooded with crap both directly and vaguely related that you don’t want but can’t do anything about.
