Oh, and NelileTu! O_O' Love

Oh, and NelileTu! O_O' Love the detail on the facial markings. And those feathers. Awesome.

StardustWaterfall: Misako

StardustWaterfall: Misako plays Gehirn, you’ll have to ask her I suppose. Eye

Starling: Oh loving that cyan/blue shade. Very pretty design, thank you. ^^

Rhhya: Ah, okay! I think I understand now.



Just put a different face on this one with larger eyes though I tried to keep the same appearance of high cheek bones. Also I like the way the feathers at the hair line blend into the hair better. I had the idea that perhaps her facial markings can change/swirl perhaps quickly or slowly. Mainly because it’s so very fun to paint them differently!

Also, I added links to the bios of related family members above, to give further ideas/inspirations on designs.

Absolutely gorgeous Sight. I

Absolutely gorgeous Sight. I love how her feathers are both hair and like a crown on her head. Just beautiful. <3

stunning! i think i love that

stunning! i think i love that one the best so far. they're all good but that one, the way the feathers are, her face colors and markings, how well the blue and purple compliment each other. just -perfect-!

i'll have to check those links out!

I'm reaally digging the

I'm reaally digging the concepts with the purple so far. Alcinda's has such a gorgeus feather crown, and I really love those ears :") I have a weakness for long ears though. (Really Mis? Gosh.) Love how you did the hair NelileTu, such loovely waves! and the peacock feathers go so well with it too, really like how dark you made them. Makes the lighter aspects stand out so well. Have to agree with Sight, the red works suprisingly well! I kind of like how calm the rest of her body markings are too. Makes the hair stand out.

Starling aa! That one is sooo cuute! Really like the idea of that turkoise, goes well with the red too! I especially like the face though, really unlike other concepts so far! And those lighter legs are really nice too.

Still love the feathers on Sight's. Different from mom's crown but still a crown alright. Makes me think of a high ponytail perhaps. Definitly recognise sis' anatomy in there too, eee.
And yeah, I play daddy Stardustwaterfall, I'm not the best commenter :") And I tend to talk to a lot of people on msn about the concepts hahah! I wish I had the time to work on one myself too, but I'll contribute. Working on Gehirn's mother's design, so that'll add some more options too.

oh i can't wait to see it! i

oh i can't wait to see it! i can think of more designs focused more on the grandmothers!

Gonna try a few moooore



Gonna try a few moooore later. Got lots of ideas with this base.
Feather idea based off my Samba Costume
Badass warrior woman? I think so.

*faints* Kate that is absolutely gorgeous @u@ I loooove the feathers and how you did her horns and dfkhjdsjkfgksjf *stares*

Keyblade: Thank you!

Keyblade: Thank you!

StardustWaterfall: Thanks! There are so many options!

Mis: So excited to see Gehirn’s mum’s design, we’ll have a whole little family tree soon! Yay! <3

parrotsnpineapple: I already gushed over this last night but I am still so in love with this. Love love love what you’ve done with the green and the blue. Like her heavier build that is still quite feminine at the same time. She’s a strong Gehirn daughter definitely. Like seeing Herla’s mother’s belly feathers brought in. The horns are reminiscent of Gehirn’s brow tines. And I just noticed her eyes are purple, win! <3

oh wow i love that build too.

oh wow i love that build too. she might be bigger and tougher than her brothers, hahahaha! i love how the colors are played there, and the different shape of the crown.
alcinda's picture

Kick. Ass.

Kick. Ass.

maybe use that design and

maybe use that design and find some way to throw some purple in there? maybe in the middle of the blue areas or between the blue and green? that would be awesome!
alcinda's picture

Probably going to lack a lot

Probably going to lack a lot of the purple and blue face markings as a fawn, as well as some feathers (like the ones on her belly, near her eyes, ect). Belly is gonna be very soft and floofy until her feathers grow in.



Really liking the tef face concept, fun to draw too. Playing with some head feathers. I also like the longer hair, but it will probably take her a while to grow that.

Sighthoundlady's picture

Awwwww, Alcinda she looks

Awwwww, Alcinda she looks like a little elvish princess, her little pin feathers and that tiny blue lip are totally adorable.

omg alcinda that is

omg alcinda that is absolutely stunning! now i'm jealous that this design isn't mine, haha! yeah if i get a second character, i would love for you guys to help me design it!
Mis's picture

Kaaaaaaate! Man I love that

Kaaaaaaate! Man I love that feather concept, and the subtile orange you bring in. The braids look really great and dang those purple eyes stand out nicely. She really looks like an amazing mix of her parents!

Gawd Al that fawn is adorable ;_; Love the lightblue feathers, looks like a headdress. Long ears for the win.
Dang these are both really good! XD

alcinda said it was ok if i

alcinda said it was ok if i posted this. i just love this design and wondered what it would look like in other colors. then i realized that any color combination would work for a gerla because the dad has the red and the mom has the blue and green and the green is an offset of yellow so with all three primary colors present it could turn out to be any color at all! so for some other color ideas, here's what i got. one is very similar, just the blue and purple reversed.

Sighthoundlady's picture

Oh wow Stardust all those

Oh wow Stardust all those color combinations work so well together too really. I’m really liking that orange and green one especially, how creative!

thank you! i love them all

thank you! i love them all really but if the orange and green aren't used i may use those colors for my second character, though i like the ideas of yellow-orange-red like a tequila sunrise on black as well. for your gerla i love the purple blue idea the best, but they're all so pretty! i know i would have a hard time choosing if it were up to me, haha. all these ideas are awesome.
parrotsnpineapple's picture

Wow awesome work stardust. I

Wow awesome work stardust. I loooove the orange and greeeen. Was gonna play around with that at some point myself. Red and green is hard; often looks like Christmas hahaha.
Mis's picture

I was talking to Sight about

I was talking to Sight about how amaaazing that orange/green one is Stardustwaterfall! I reaally like the orange feathertips there, it matches really well. You used some underused colors there, same with the pink concept dang. I do like pink. But the first one is definitly a favourite for me there.
And I remember mentioning that to you Parrot when you said you were working with red/green! XD You should still do! I'm really digging all these concepts here, these two make some dang pretty babies.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Haha, yes that green and

Haha, yes that green and orange has us chatting like crazy, love it a whole bunch. Love this blog!


And just to throw another wrench into the works, here’s a white design! 8/
How impossible it’s going to be to choose just one!

Edit:
Oh well thought I'd add this one too, tried to make white work with the orange and green.

Not my favorite but still sorta pretty. And had to try. XD
alcinda's picture

ooh! love the white and

ooh! love the white and purpleish blue. i think the green and orange one also works really well, there's something about the green lips and eyeshadow that really draws me into the design.

already said i loved the colors in the email, stardust, again the orange and green color concept looks superb!
RikkaChan's picture

Oh my god, you guys, these

Oh my god, you guys, these designs. <3 They're all so beautiful with their own uniqueness, very exciting. :3c

thanks guys! the real credit

thanks guys! the real credit goes to alcinda though, it's still her art. all I did was slide the hue slider, really, haha! i'm glad you are all digging the orange and green one! i thought about maybe making one with more white because of herla's mother, don't suppose white would work well with orange and green? haha! so many concepts! maybe she'll have to have another pregnancy after this girl birth where she can have one white base child and one green and orange or blue and purple, whatever of those isn't used for the current one.

i'm playing around with other colors too. trying my hand at a tequila sunrise concept against black for myself but still not sure. blue and a tealy blue look good together too. hard to find colors that aren't overused.
Salome's picture

really in love with the ice

really in love with the ice blue concept from sight. It's nice to see another base color than black.
And damn Alcinda I adore the way you did her feather crown including the hair. Must be a torture to decide c:

here's another I came up

here's another I came up with. Tried to base it on other works. i'm no good with this, but perhaps someone could re-do this in their style? make her shimmer like herla's mom?

God, that icy blue is

God, that icy blue is absolutely fascinating! o.o
Calinka's picture

I can't believe I haven't

I can't believe I haven't placed my track in here yet.
Lovely concepts! Seems though the possibilities aren't yet anywhere near being maxed out. xD I'm excited to see some more! (:
Mis's picture

Way too tired to type up a

Way too tired to type up a proper response haha.. But I think I'm finally done with these two.
So yes, Gehirn's parents! Bringing in some extra options in the gene pool. Gehirn's father is pretty much a feral irish elk (not entirely, but his design definitly is) with a brown color scheme. Gehirns markings stem from him. He also has brown eyes. Gehirn's mother is the main cause of Verve's anatomy, though she is a bit stockier. Gehirn's coloration comes from her. Her eyes are a very dark red, almost black. As is her hair. She also has a dark red neck. (Hard to see with this hair I realise)
And she has Gehirn's nose and ears hehe. These two are an odd mix, definitly, but there you go.

Time for sleep.

Eeeeee, look at the gorgeous

Eeeeee, look at the gorgeous CSS that Misako made for this blog, now we can organize and properly display all the lovely designs that people have made. Thank you so much to those who have taken the time to contribute to this. Thanks so much also to Parrotsnpineapple made the gorgeous family tree with entire Gerla family and you can see the designs of the parents of Gehirn and Herla.
RikkaChan's picture

Whoa, this is gorgeous.

Whoa, this is gorgeous. Everything. Seriously.
I can't wait to see what design you will decide on for Herla's daughter!

CLICKY I was asked to

CLICKY

I was asked to publish here, so I published...
Sighthoundlady's picture

Thank you Rikkachan, I

Thank you Rikkachan, I couldn’t stop smiling when I saw this CSS too. And yes, it will be very difficult indeed to choose a design. But the process is sure fun.

And thank you Rhhya! I love that teal blue you used, it’s very pretty. Loving the purple hue in the feathers too.


And a little design I did last night, really just the white design put on a real deer faced deer. Also experimented with some horns. Not my favorite of all the designs, but something different perhaps too.

Again. Once again, adding one



Again. Once again, adding one design in two days... (I'm crazy, I know). This was called "Elandria II." - name is just decoratively - as I based from this elegant doe. However, it degenerated into a bit monotonous blue, but you may like.
Sighthoundlady's picture

I really like this Rhhya, and

I really like this Rhhya, and it was fun to see you coloring it. I like how you incorporated Nerva’s and Elandria’s designs together to achieve this. It’s given me a lot of inspiration for more ideas too. Thank you!

Ahhh, alcindaaa. Your designs

Ahhh, alcindaaa. Your designs are so wonderful; you have awesome taste. ;o;

Alcinda, I’ve already been

Alcinda, I’ve already been telling you how much I’m in love with that white design. She does look like such an ethereal princess. Beautiful.

Schutzgeist, eeee, adorable babbeh! Love the shimmery blue on the belly and the eye markings.


And yet another Gerla design, took many people’s input for this, the main principle being a feather mohawk design. Misako had the idea of them being styled into a Mohawk somehow and not just naturally growing that way so I tied them up in “hair” bands. Marking are highly based off Gehirn’s mother.


And I really need to get this blog updated with all the lovely new submissions. It’s looking gorgeous up in here.
RikkaChan's picture

Oh Sight, that design is

Oh Sight, that design is simply amazing.. ;o;

Also a bump, updated all the thumbnails above for Gerla daughter designs that have been submitted. (I'm sleepy and distracted though, so very possible I missed some, please feel free to shout at me if I did! ;_; )

I found something that maybe

I found something that maybe could inspire? Victoria Crowned Pigeons (also going to link the source at flickr where it's originally from, but it is being painfully slow to load). They even have gorgeous red eyes like the parents.

Been stalking this thread,

Been stalking this thread, and your most recent design, Sight, is stunning! Absolutely loving all those feathers and the markings. Ughhh. <3
