Character concept for Starling for a Gen One picto exchange. Yes still open for these so email/MSN or note me on DA if interested.

PNGs under the cut:


She wanted a version with no feathers as well.



Also, livestreamed this and not a soul showed. Ouch.

Wow, another perfectly

Wow, another perfectly amazing piece. I love the detail and god, those eyes. The grey pelt against the orange markings is so lovely and elegant, and kfhajfhefafu, that is an amazing take of the skull mask gone deer face. Those feathers are so realistic as well.
Perfect. All of it.

Best so far, I would say. ♥!

& Did you just livestream this? If you did, I'm very sorry I didn't pay attention to watch. ;n;

Your way with anatomy is

Your way with anatomy is always so brilliantly realistic, it mixes well with the lines and less realistic coloring, I think.

Thanks Dinamo! I really like

Thanks Dinamo! I really like the “painted on” skull markings” look. Played with it before as a design element and was happy to try it again here. Interesting way to handle “skull” deer without it actually be a skull.
Livestream was only 2 hours anyways so, meh.

Thanks Jin! I’d actually like to push myself to try more cartoonish styles with cell style shading. I never can do it though XD

I really wanted to watch you livestream but I wasn't sure if you would or not. You must have done it whilst I was asleep or something! Ah well. Thankyou soooo much, I love this to bits! I will be sure to use it in a biography tonight or something <3333333

I can't get over the smoothness of her face and how the skull markings look over it. So perfect.

Very lovely concept and so

Very lovely concept and so very elegant. The design is fancy, but still very balanced. If you know what I mean.

I think if Kaikias should ever see that doe around, he would fall for her in a second.

Starling: I’m so glad you

Starling: I’m so glad you are happy with it. I really enjoyed playing with the design. I do better when I have a lot of freedom XD And yeah, I livestreamed it during my evening so it would have been the middle of the night for you. Sorry. Stupid time zones. ;_;

I think it will be a very pretty set in game as well. Looking forward to what you do with it.

Thank you so much for the Gen 1 picto. I’ll take good care of it. ^__^

Deerth: Thank you!

Cicadia: Thanks! I really like how the skull markings came together in this one, played with the concept before but this one pulled it off the best.

Brocanna: Aw thanks! It was nice to have some leeway with the markings to do as I wanted with them. I love the monarch butterfly pelt and all the possible interpretations of it.
