Description As you will see in my gallery, originally Racket was based on a plum faced parakeet... but she did not feel right as a character I wanted to use in art exchanges especially as Cotingaa is so colourful herself. So I had a little think and decided to base Racket on the Gang-Gang cockatoo, one of my favourite birds. Gang Gangs are not quite as bright or colourful but certainly full of character and caught the feel I was going for. I changed the original drawing and made her more stocky and I am much more happy with the outcome.

Prety awesome gryphon! Was this drawn with a tablet from scratch or inked, scanned, then colored? Kinda curious how other gryphons make thier feathery mark out there.

*resists the urge to ask the prety gryphon where her nest is*

Sketched in coloured pencil, inked, scanned and coloured digitally - hope that helps.

Very nice! I think GangGangs are so beutiful. I own a Bare-eyed 'too myself...the less "pretty" 'Toos are the prettiest I think!

Seriously? Lovely! you do not get many peeps with bare eye 'toos - you are right, people think they are less attractive than other 'toos (cept me, I am a sucker for the less "normal" birds) though bare eyes are a lot more stable than the supher and his kin
I have always loved gang gangs...

Beautiful! These are, believe it or not, my school colors.

There appears to be some smudges outside the lines on her headfeathers - not sure if this was intentional, but the rest of the image seems pretty clean.

Very good!
