Ok i played around with it a bit more. Can’t decide on magic crystal or magic egg. I’m gonna play with it more im not satisfied and I think an egg goes well with the bird face on the staff.
-
@Aleksey This looking cool! I do feel like the brightly colored handle pulls away attention from the blade. But I guess the hand of the person would be hiding most of it anyway. What was your inspiration for the piece? Reminds me of Celtic art a little bit.
-
@chrisaakins thanks chris, dungeons and dragons hah..
-
Yeah i think i like the previous egg one

Not sure im gonna use this I’m gonna take a break and think a little
-
@Aleksey I really like these, but...
"My idea is to create a “night” character that looks like a legendary or deity like being kind of “cutting” through the sky creating nighttime."
...would a deity that is creating night, carry a light?
Just a thought. I know you'll pull it off.
PS. The light is very cool BTW.

Have you ever seen work by Chris Riddell? Your props remind of his work. He wrote and illustrated YA fantasy in the early 2000s.
-
@chrisaakins no i havnt im gonna go look him up
-
One of the better sketches on the basic idea of the character I want to make. An old blind bird person
-
@Aleksey
I am so slow on reading this amazing progress and apparently I just wait until you plop it on Instagram without knowing the back story. On that note and clearly after you have already decided I like number *1 and the egg is a cool link to the bird.

@Heather-Boyd cool thanks
i am going to play with the poses for sure. I’ve been at work all day and my footsies are killing me. It’s gonna be nice to just sit and draw -
Ooooo! @Aleksey I REALLY like the bird guy! I was wrong earlier. Chris Riddell was the author of the Edge Chronicles but Paul Stewart was the artist. Your bird character really could fit into his world. Here is a pic of his work:
