The Glorious Angel

Description

About the title, I finally spotted some real Swallow Tailed Kites here where I live and Ive been tracking one and I nicknamed him "Glorious Angel" because I love this bird. Appearantly he has gone out and found himself a lady friend XD I havent seen him in his territory much.

Well just to show that I am still alive I finally finished coloring an image I drew a few weeks ago. To those who have watched me for a while you all should recognize this fellow. This is Kurah and thanks to my constant study on Swallow Tailed Kites I have edited his design to match the actual bird. Also there are other changes that I put in. His wings will remain broad like this to help him in flight. Swallow Tails have wings like Seagulls and they glide like and flap their wings like Herons and it would not fit Kurah to fly like that. XD

His beak is now smaller and less defined to fit the Kite.
I detached his wings from his arms for comfort reasons.
He is more muscled now and his loin cloth is front sided only.
No pants anymore because considering he's a bird he has no visible questionable parts to show so it doesnt matter if hes clothed or not.
He is based off of a normal Swallow Tail which are native to Florida and parts of Texas but I was having such a hard time with his legs that I decided to make him a Swallow Tail northern subspecies. He has furry legs now to protect his feet from the cold and ice when he roosts in tree branches and cliffs.
I have also drawn in his weapons and oddly enough when I colored the stones I didnt remember that his original image also had those purple stones so I feel happy that thats the official royal color of the Aerdros.

Otherwise his design is the same with the cyan tipped wings and tail. I have also gotten better at drawing wings, this design has managed to stick around so Im happy that it has. If you see something wrong with this image please let me know.

I also tried a new way of inking, seems plausible enough that I shall stick with it.

the size of those wings are nice! and they seems to have a good thickness too!
is he wearing that loincloth for fashion or to cover "parts"?
