Black-winged Kite

[tamacatleen]

A friend’s dæmon or at least how I believe she would look like in Lyra’s world. It’s a black-winged kite, I believe it fits his personality (ESTJ, Ravenclaw). Also he's a Virgo. (Again I found it thanks to the analysis from The Dæmon Forum, it helped me a lot!) The Arabic text may be wrong! I copy-pasted it from Wikipedia (also I don’t know if Zavijava is masculine or feminine but his daemon is supposed to be a female so I hope it fits haha..)

There are different color variations of this drawing once again, I wanted to include Dust you’ll see it in the last pictures, and I did English and French versions for the texts!

Also first drawing of the year! 🫶 Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2025 will be a great year for all of you! 🫶

Hope you like it! ✨

A Black Shouldered Kite (Elanus caeruleus)

It tried to catch something while we were watching, swooped down and landed in the grass. Don't think it was successful, flew back up after a minute
