Description
This is an update of one of the "three little birds" I drew a while ago, Mati, a female bluejay character of mine.Apparently, I can't paint backgrounds too well so I decided to take a REAL picture and play around with that instead actually drawing one...I am laaazzzyyy.
Most of the work was put into bringing the background and the character together so it looked like she was supposed to be IN the scene rather than just painted on top of it. I think I'll be using this technique a lot more.

Depends - How old she is varies on which picture. This is kinda generic, but I’d say probably 7-ish (around 22 in our years). Ask this same question on one of the Southwind chapters and the answer is more like 2 to 3 (~6-10).

Normal bird height, I'd guess....I don't really put her in human terms

Oh! Were you still using Illustrator back then? Or something else? Because it is VERY realistic!

Very long time X3 I don't remember exactly...It's not like I sat down once and worked it out in one or two eight hour sittings, so I'm not sure totally...Can't really count the hours

Just looking at the quality, it looks like it took a long time. I think I will try a PS only picture. See if I find it easier than Illustrator. Thanks bro! ^v^

SO, this is the official Mati, it's pretty, a little different from your other representations of her. She really looks beautiful here aside frome the sexy pictures instead this shows that this must be kind of a perfect character of sorts.
Tell me: What role does this character do in the story of yours?
very nice job along with the picture you played around.

Well sort of "official" in that this is more like predecessor of the offical Mati [link] ... though I think THIS has even changed a bit, hehe. But yes, this is her original "official" look. She has sort of a more subdued beauty here, very pretty outwardly but with even more beauty inside (not that her other pictures don't have that, it's just very apparent here lol).
She's one of the protagonists. The story has a few seperate plotlines that will all tie together, and she is the main character of one of them.
Thanks!

Yes I really think so, the perspective for doing this one is different, althoug it doesn't say it's wrong, instead it's just another Idea about the same concept, an interpretation of sorts.
LoL, how predictible... I see so you're still working the ideas on the story...
You're welcome, my friend, for simple as it looks it's still a nice idea even in it's infant stages.

Predictible indeed, hehe. How could she be anything but? But yes, the story has been the basis for ninty percent of what I do on DA and it's been ongoing for quite a long time and I plan on continuing it for as long as I can or until it is finished. Lol, either way, that will a tough day for me the day the story ends or I give it up, so I'm planning on just keeping at with no intent to stop!

No wonder it is predictible...
If you REALLY want to finish it, you're gonna do it, almost everything what happens to us is a consecuence of our decisions. So whatever is the result I don't think you're going to regret it unless the luck factor comes into the scene.
So, good luck with that, lol

I do like the anatomy basically, how she isn't just a big bird but isn't just a 'human bird'. Not to mention she does look very attractive, with that 'look' she has.

It's that kind of 'look' that'll knock 'em dead

Of course, because it seems like each animal has their own 'emotions', where we have happy, they have something completly different.

Aww, I love blue-jays!
And you did a very good job with the character-to-background thingy. Impressive, trully.

Also, I want her to be mine.

I wasn't speaking in the 'print' sense. I meant in real life.
Besides, the last print I ordered never showed up. I'm pissed about that, and I don't feel like ordering prints from DA anytime soon.

I know
But that sucks. Did you get refunded?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. I don't know how to claim it. Anyways, it was only a few dollars, so I'm not gonna bother.

She looks so cyuuuute! x3 I love how she looks, and yay blue jays!

...I'll say more
Loving everything about this, the fact that you've kept her with minimal anthropomorphism really fascinates me ^^ I adore this style.
