Ooo…I like it!
I hesitate to say anything, but I’m assuming this is at least based on an owl as it looks to have plumicorns, but and owl would have a downward facing beak with the top half being hooked at the end. From how they use them, it wouldn’t protrude that far. This beak is more ravenish to me.
This is the best reference I can find:
Please do not take that as any kind of criticism, I really like your work, I just spend a lot of time looking at owls!
Haha no worries, I totally get it and I appreciate your input! :D
I did use an owl reference as starting point but improvised most parts so I would have been utterly surprised if my interpretation of an owl would have been even remotely anatomically correct :)
That makes sense. It is still a very cool foreboding creature of the shadows.
Thanks!
