First drawing of young Lizbeth and Bast (Feb, 2021) vs most recent! I practiced a lot and loosened up so much since then. #OC

Kid Lizbeth found a rock that's her favorite color! Bast is quite a bit older and thinks she's adorable.

@MakaiMiller Thank you, glad you like the design. It's actually the opposite here- Aspen is a male (leucistic griffon vulture), who really looks up to Lizbeth (yellow headed vulture) like a big sister. Here they are together. 🐦😃

Lizbeth and Aspen as young adults
They're based on a lesser yellow headed vulture and a griffon vulture (leucistic).

Deciding on a color scheme for this character, and it feels like I'm designing a sparkle-vulture. 🥰 I'm very attached to the blue freckles lol

The sketch vs the final
The fun is in the journey, the exploration, the making. I'm proud of this finished piece, but even more so I love the moments where painting ice armor or the Firebird's texture clicked, and when I got the armor on the hawk looking right. #HumanArtists
