Main illustration of my character, Pennant.
A collage of drawings of the main illustration with no wings, and no background, as well as a character model sheet to better see the character's clothing and form. Still a work in progress, I hope to lay out the flat colors in the model sheet and add a few more poses and facial expressions to give my character more personality and flesh out her story and background.
The Character is based off of the pennant-winged nightjar, known for its unique wing shape. I incorporated this wing as my character's wings, as well as based the grays, browns, whites, orange, and gold flecks as the color scheme for my character. The main color, dark gray is seen in the pants, shoes, and some accessories, whereas the secondary colors of white and orange appear at the legs, belt, and shirt, reflective of how the bird's white coloring is on its underside, with orange at its upper half. Lastly, gold, the accent color is seen speckled throughout, which I added in the character's accessories, hair, pants, and glasses.
Additionally, the background is based on the nightjar's natural habitat, which includes the miombo grasslands (thus the green and dried grass, with a winding tree to guide the viewers eyes along downwards to view the character and birds).
