a little haute vulture


The most recent visdev assignment is to do concept art for a given story. Me and CS picked a little Burmese/Myanmar folk tale called 'Why The Vulture is Bald'. I did this rough more for fun but I might as well put it in anyway :D Vultures are fun grumpy things.

We chose the Asian King vulture, Sarcogyps Calvus, and it's critically endangered, but boy does he have an ugly mug. They have little flappy turkeyish-things along their necks, mostly dark brown plumage, and some facial hair that reminds me of wolverine, for some strange reason.

Fun fact: The food critic in Ratatouille, Anton Ego, has a character design that is somewhat based on a vulture.

I don't dare say 'maybe I'll finish it in future'. That said, digital always makes my drawings cleaner.
