I decided to try skinning a bird just because they are so hard to map onto the Steve body. I picked a male bluebird (scientific name Sialia) because they have really vibrant colors. I used my Bamboo tablet and Skincraft to make this skin. It is definitely better than using the touch pad on my laptop :P I couldn't think of a credible way to make a beak. I have to say - this was one hard skin to create.

Here is the link to the animal planet illustration that I used as a reference: http://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/bluebird-info.htm

Adjusted the appearance of the foot on the underside to make it look more like the toes were connected and matched the colors better. Worked on making the eyes look less angry.

More like this

  Have something to say?

Bluebirds are one of my favorite birds, this is an eastern bluebird, But where I live we have western bluebirds, which in my opinion are beautiful in it's own way with dark cobalt feathers, some with gray masks and a rust colored back, mountain bluebirds are pretty too, I see those once in a while.

Thank you! I really would like to do more birds - they are so popular (lol) Actually, I don't design skins to be popular, I just like the challenge. I'm working on a grizzly bear at present.
