Artist's Comments

Otherwise, this one was a bit of a shaky creation. The doodle of it looked very nice, then the linework looked not good at all, then it looked nice again with color, and now after scanning and such it look a bit meh. Nothing special.
And the sky vanished again! It's hard to keep the pale sky and get rid of the wobbly-paper-shadows X(
Also, this is a large picture covering a A4. So now, after resizing it, some black lines got bloty. I've tried to fix some of this :/

I've sort of always seen articuno as a dove-like bird, so I took insperation from doves. The body posistion is very different thought, and I also messed up articunos head a bit =/
Then I also took isperation from a bird that I have no idea what it's called in english. It's an African bird, where the males mating feathercoat (they swift after thw mating season) are shiny black and the tail feathers extreamly long.
Edit; I think I've found the speices! They are called "Long-tailed Widowbird", Euplectes progne. I don't want to direct link to someonelses work and steal their bandwidth, so if you want to see this bird use any search engine and look up their latin name (amazingly, very little pictures seam to be around of this bird!).
Or I just got the wrong name ^^;


Unfortunate, my paper was too small, so this articuno got rather short ones <_<
Articunos tail-feathers are all swirly in the anime, but feathers are stiff in reality so I went for that.
Anyhow, I guess this could be a female or a male articuno during non-mating season.
Concidering the inviroment articuno lives in, I figure them to be predators, and the intence blue color itself could be camofluage and applied to both genders...
