A long time coming, your new friendly physical therapist Kessie! Part red-kite, part sparrowhawk, she's my silly/raunchy OC and I just like her a lot. Took many different iterations and almost 4 years of reflection to get to her final design. I tried to create the birdest bird girl I could, without slapping wings on her back ( for now ) , but instead using other avian features to reinforce the bird character. At first she was a kestrel, then a red kite, then a black baza.... In the end she's a bit of everything.
I added a bunch of earlier sketches in there. You can see how silly my early sketching tends to be!
