Quick colors on some sketches from a little while ago.

Some weird biomech avians just for fun, though the whole weapon-guts-exploding-out-of-the-body is totally gonna be a concept I want to use more (I have a specific Maschinengeist in mind for that one).

I feel like these guys could be characters in their own game or something. 😀

We’re giving Dungeons & Dragons another shot. My character for this campaign in an Aarakocra cleric.

I wasn’t quite satisfied with the canon design of “bird head on human-shaped body with angel wings tacked on the back”. I wanted to take a more anatomical approach to her, and so I have her wings as the primary limbs on her torso. Her arms are small and secondary, and tuck up next to the body when flying.

Her casting focus is that cat’s cradle, which has an actual feather from her goddess hanging from it as her holy symbol. As well as healing, she uses weather-based spells.

She’s on a quest… to do… something…? It was Very Important, she remembers that much. It was also Very Urgent and must be done As Soon As Possible, whatever it is. But she can’t quite seem to recall… Why exactly is she here?? And what was she doing???
