Illucian




This is a bit different then previous artwork, I have this one double listed as both drawing and illustration in the Gift Art column, mostly because I took the time to actually do a decent drawing of the bird realistically, but I also drew an illustration. I'm not sure how well the pencil sketch came out, I think the feathers of the wing conflict with the crest of the Cockatoo but otherwise I think it turned out ok.



The illustration I mostly focused on the head, as that was what was going to be in the icon, but I felt like drawing out the whole body as well, though I didn't go into much detail in the hindquarters.

Illucian is a Gryphatoo, a gryphon with Cockatoo forequarters and snowleopard hindquarters. This was for an icon I volunteered to do for her.

Information I was given to draw Illucian as an Icon

SPECIES: Gryphatoo (Umbrella Cockatoo/Clouded Leopard gryphon)
ICON THEME: Pick what you want: 1) Cosplay as Celes from FF6, Kaylee from Firefly, or Colette from Tales of Symphonia; 2) Wearing a pair of binoculars around her neck with text "Bird Geek" or "Bird Dork"; 3) The failsafe option: being cute, squeeing in happiness, OMG EEEE!!!, happy surprise, something like that :)
NOTES: The crestfeathers are not a single-file line, but a cap-shape; see the first ref pic. Also, coloration is white with slight opalescent cast (faint pastel colors).
REF PICS (please link full size images):
