For today’s drawing I wanted to create a design for a creature that might be found in or around graveyards. A slightly grim subject but I felt that it would make for an interesting design challenge.
I wanted to make use of elements of bird anatomy in the design but for it to be bipedal. I chose to give it a more humanoid upper body to allow it to make use of tools and enable it to grasp the staff I designed to go with it. I feel my overall design is successful, I created a grim, uncanny spectre that anyone would be terrified to find lurking around a graveyard at night.
