Finally got around to sketching tonight- one of my older characters cooperated. So I got to revisit one of my best-worst creations!
Yes, yes, those are supposed to be feathers. Like a Magnificent Bastard Alien Umbrella Cockatoo. I don't think I could draw it exactly the same twice; compare that to this one, from a few years back:
Hooo. At least, for all I haven't drawn much, it does look like I'm improving. . . That old one is kinda painful now; I had forgotten about it until I went to upload and there it was. XD I've still got things I absolutely want to fix in the new one- the face-framing feathers, the outfit, that uneven shirt collar- but overall, I'm pretty happy with how he's turning out. He's looking more smirky and cat-that-got-the-canary, which is as it should be. Progress!
