But people,
We have to remember we're talking about the MC style.
The bird statue found in the Palace of winds I adopted like the same bird of Skyward Sword. Because of this it has more rounded tip: I used the same head.
Another thing, if we were do the MC style reliable to 3D games, the style would be completely different. Starting, Link would'nt be chubby. Everything is stylized.
I did studies of the bird more like the photos, and i did not like the one I got. Did not match the MC style.
In this study that I did, I tried to put the missing feathers on the cheek, but since they are very small compared to the rest of the head, they were so strange. It looked like a smudge on his cheek. When working with a drawing scale so small, some details get lost, like those feathers.
The long neck, was disproportionate to the size of the Link, the houses, the scene as a whole.
The colors of the tail feathers, I really need to improve, as well as the wing feathers.
