Description

The last fan art I'll be uploading for a while. This is Arpeggio from the video game Sly 2: Band of Thieves. He's my favorite character of all time and I like to think that my obsession with him got me into ornithology. It's cool how fictional character can impact one's life in such a way. Anyway, for those who don't know, he's a parrot who can't fly because his wings are malformed and are too small for him to fly. He's insecure about it and his insecurity causes his villainy later on in life. I won't go into it because then I'll end up summarizing the entire game I think he's a cool villain and he's cute, too. I only wish he had more time in the game because I really was invested in his character and backstory.
In this drawing, he's looking to the sky because he wants to fly. There's a ladder leaning against the branch because how else was he supposed to get up there? Oh, and I should note that I actually purposely employed symbolism in my art for once, which is something I very rarely do. The night sky is supposed to represent his insecurity and villainy, but it also looks nice.
I drew this in the style of the game, which is awkward for me because the characters' designs are very angular. I work better with rounded characters. However, I've drawn Arpeggio so much over the years that I've pretty much mastered how to draw him to my abilities.
