Saw a flyer for the 2024 Griffish Isles convention while I was at PonyCon Holland and inspiration struck. Decided to go back to an older style of shading because I think it looks better with the sun behind like this.
I also took some subtle liberties with her colour palette. Most notably, I shifted her feet to be slightly blue instead of pure white; you can get this colour on real birds- especially in juvenile saker falcons.
