If you want to guess why I chose that animal go ahead. but it doesn't matter.
I'd like some pointers on where to go from here and how to go about this to make the shading from now on on the birds body look realistic, myabe some tips for feathers, idk cuz if I go it alone it will be a shot in the dark.
I've got the base colors down tho and I want to keep them cuz i made my daemon the way it should be. so no color change.
background tips too, idk
myabe i'm too needy about this...
but yea... red cardinal with blue legs. they'll look nicer with shading and some texture

also something you guys probably didn't know
the saxons, or anglo saxons.. or someone way back I dunno.. well the word for it was faecce and it was your soul beside you in animal form, which controlled your mana
pretty cool eh? Pullman pulled that one from outta nowhere and made it into something awesome!
