Youre welcome to model it anytime!

So I have been flipping back in my sketchbook, I was 15 years old when I joined this forum and now I am 18 living out my dream to be a concept artist. Even though this studio section isnt the most lively place, and even though I was an ass to a lot of people back then I still have some kind of strong attachment to this place. This is basically where it all began for me and this site both helped me decide and achieve what I wanted to do in my life. So thanks to everyone who has contributed to this sketchbook so far, even if you may never read this.

Anyways enough of the emotional bull, here is the finished version.

just wanted to say, i've got pretty much the same feeling.

Chains is basically the forum's best example of an awesome turnaround.

[Higuy]

Holy shit.

I remember the days back in 07-08 when most of us gathered at Halomaps and used Xfire a ton. You and Josh have improved so much since then. Glad to meet people like y'all that lie out your ambitions.

Thank you all for the compliments, and yea Exam I was a very troubled kid and I am glad I got past it all.

Yea you have always been a pretty decent dude, though ironically back in those days I thought you were an annoying and immature kid when I acted exactly the same. Blind to our own issues I guess, but that is the past. (:

Ok so as said I am entering the creature of the week competition at www.conceptart.org

The requirements are that it had to be a flightless, armored bird. I looked at all the entries and they all seemed to be the kind of terror bird/dinosaur kind of creature so I decided to try something a bit more creative.

Basically it is a bird that swings from branch to branch then dives down and impales it's victim with it's modified beak.

Here are some wip images then the final work:

I feel like the birds beak should be made from something else. Imo, it looks like the head is in-complete at the moment, because its all mostly one color. Maybe have the birds eyes be blue or? Its head just doesn't seem to pop out at me. Instead my eyes are moving around the painting looking for the more detailed areas.

But again, amazing stuff man. Inspiring!

The tail is actually what's bothering me the most. It has more of a water colour feel than the upper body, which has a sharper image. Basically, the style within the picture isn't consistent where it should be.
