Description
Who needs bird clothes? Mati certainly doesn't ^v^I was inspired by some pretty phoenixes to try this style. I love texturing, but there's just something more fluid and satisfying about doing it this way. I do need practice with more dynamic poses anyway
The pose is based loosely off of [link] by ~TheLoneCrow

What would be some of Mati's favorite foods that she would like eating in the Southwinds Storyline?
Also what miniature things and food would Mati try eating if she was 500 feet tall and hungry?

Thats cool :3 and i need to ask this question because most people who make chracters do this, do you role play?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, you were wondering if these were like personas? No, they're characters in a story I'm writing =3

If you don't like it, don't look at it. End of discussion.
Personally, I think this image is very well done. One of the few Avian Anthropomorphics I've seen that I like. Keep up the good work.

You're right about her being prettier in blue, it's amazing (wait that's how someone calls a rapsody, ok forget it).
I love blue jays, they're my favorites (along with hawks and crows), is someone who lives in those rare places in the world where no corvids are to be found whatsoever (freaking southern cone had to be...) who is telling you that.
She is dangerously pretty and hot, may you let me say so... it's something about her eyes and legs... those eyes are looking deep into the soul of the one who is watching her, kind of a dangerous feature in some girls.
btw blue color is awesome, but black and white even further adds to this I love that elegant combination I still don't know exactly why.
You've captured the real meaning of what "female" does meant in the aesthetical and physical sense (which at this level are almost the same), regardless of the appearence. Even if it's covered in feathers those are almost like clothes, but not at the same time, kinda bizarre but still awesome, so you're right, they don't need clothes.
Now to the goofy part... wow, how to gain her love would be something very difficult to do, maybe peanut butter will do it, but it's not elegant... a bird call?... I sing opera that is not very difficult to do, mabe if I sing the bass lines of some of the songs by Bing crosby... yeah, that should do it, or maybe Barry White's lines...I'm a basso profondo so I can do it but that somehow kills girls if you don't use it the right way, I would scare her a lot if I sing the rusian octavist religious song "Do not reject me in old age" cause it even scares me when I do it... ok so lets stay with the bird call better. Would she like medals?... man I don't know but if you're a military officer or a descendant of the european nobility like me orders are the best to show, those are shiny... but I don't want to look like I'm arrogant or something that's pretty bad. Ok I don't know, perhaps it takes to be a bird to understand such a kind female mind...
You did an amazing work with her. Fantastic... and I don't mind about textures if is this kind of stuff what's being done, so cheers up man this is a very nice style.

I totally agree!! Rhapsody in Blue (Feathers)!
We think alike, that’s for sure! Corvids, hawks, (I’d add seabirds, myself) are amazing creatures! Interesting about the Southern Cone (you’re from Chile, yes?) having no corvids, I thought they were endemic every continent (excepting Antarctica) but I guess that doesn’t mean every PART of every continent…One of my other birds is based on the magpie-jays of equatorial SA, a bit too far north of Chile I suppose.
Dangerous attraction can get to the viewer can’t it? She’s nice enough though, but she does know how to flaunt it! And there really is something about the blue/black/white combination that is really attractive to my eye. I’m glad you think so as well!
That’s kind of the funny part about her…she can be without clothes but still have her feathers and STILL be considered nude at the same time. I think it’s all in the curves of her body that really capture the aesthetic and physical beauty here.
Hmm, what to do to get her love? Well, be a nice bird to her! But shiny things can work to! Corvids love shiny things! And Barry White all the way, man, there’s nothing like him singing to get a girl swooning! You have to have that sensual smooth tender tone, like you’re whispering in that sweet, low, bass…haha. It could work! I’m sure she’d love it!
Sort of getting off topic here, you’re a descendant of European nobility? That’s very interesting!
Anyway, thanks as always!

I knew it was a rhapsody somehow...
And yep corvids aren't to be found in the southern cone , nor in coastal peru, and I agree with you about seabirds (save for the penguins, they nest in most of the coastal islands in Chile and I'm quite used to see them).
Hehe then have you seen the flag of Estonia? It's EXACTLY that combination of colors.
I agree with you in the point of the feathers it's kinda bizarre but awesome at the same time.
I knew it had something to do with being a nice bird...but yeah I can do the same as Barry does it's easy to do if you have voice training I still don't know so many people still says it's imposible to do...kinda rare but maybe it's just me the one who has a very amplified voice range with enough strength but still Vladimir Miller sings about two times stronger than me the bass part, but he kinda sounds like the devil, well me too if you place me in the hall of a church; sometimes it even scares me of myself...
btw, yes I'm a descendant of german and danish nobility for the von Moltke side of my family... but I think it would be better to talk about these things somewhere else... I don't wanna ruin you comment collection in here.

Heh, I knew there was a flag in easter Europe like that, but I couldn't have told you it was Estonia.
It is interesting how bass level voices have that ability to range from tender and sweet to frieghtening. I can do a slightly convincing bass like Barry, but I have no formal traing there. My musical training is more in the instrumental jazz styles, I play tenor saxophone. Though I can hold my own singing, I'd be nothing compared to you. Opera I don't dare attempt.
Hehe, We can talk elsewhere about that if you so choose, I for one find it fascinating.

Most flags used inside Latvia and Estonia have a strong influence of black and white because of the history these countries have with the Teutonic order, I'm telling that to you cause I'm a descendant of a family that used to have a lot of influence in that region during the middle ages so teutonic knights for the win those are also the colors of the kindom of prussia which my family will give it's alleigance for a long period of time as much as Danemark until the first world war that killed the monarchy in Germany and for instance in Prussia.
Also Blue white combinations are quite common in the baltic sea states, the flag of Pommerania, the former flag of Latvia when it used to be Courland and Zemgale, the flag of Finland which was based upon a flag of baltic commertial sporting sailors in Saint Petersburg when the country was part of the russian empire and even the basic element of the sweedish flag being the white replaced by yellow to give it a Kindom sense.
You play the tenor saxophone amazing, I'm learning to play the bass and contrabass ones (yes those contrabass ones exist and are expensive I use my grandpa's one he bought in the Netherlands) but I'm more used to the acordeon and the Piano, those are the ones I dominate, cause I've been playing them since I was a kid, once again family tradition...What else...Tap dancing, cause Jazz and swing are amazing music and the old musicals oif the 30's are my favorites especially Fred Astaire's, it's the only thing I dance cause you'll never see me dancing weirdos things.
But yeah opera singing is something that takes a few years to practise I've been practizing since I was 14.
And finally it's because of these off topic things I want to talk about them elsewhere, but man you tell me where cause I'm new here and I'm kinda lost you know? and else I'm a bit too lazy to think at this hour. So you choose. The things the goofy parts of a commentary can get you in...we left your little birdie a bit abandoned with this talk she must be hating me by now, I can feel it...just look at her eyes, being unable to move from there really adds to the intentions of killing someone like me.

The First World War did shake up European monarchy quite a bit with three (if not more) well established monarchies falling within five years of each other. I won't speak for the Kingdome of Prussia, but Tzarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire did seem to be having trouble before the war. That deos make sense that the flags of those Baltic nations would have strong influences from the Teutonic Order.
Yep! I've played since I was 11! So...that makes it over 12 years I've been playing, as I am 24 now. The bass and contrabass...those horns are HUGE! I imagine the reed for a contrabass would be like a plank of wood! My father plays the tenor, so it's somewhat of a family tradition for me as well, though if my future children will play too is undecided, hehe. 30's style jazz is by far the most classic style. Duke Ellington is probably my favorite of that era. Though I'm also very partial to the more modern styles (Miles Davis, hard bop, fusion, etc.) myself.
Congratulations on your opera training!
Oh, it's not a problem to talk on here about off topic things. Some people might have issues with their comment sections, but I don't. There's always notes too. You can send those if you'd like too. I promise, Mati won't mind! Though I think others who drop by to see her might be a bit confused about our conversation straying so far from pretty blue jay girls...

Indeed it did but where a lot of monarchies that felt the war, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Rusia, The Ottoman empire, not to mention a lot of monarchies inside the German empire, like Prussia Bavaria, Saxony, etc...And yes they had a lot of problems before the war especially Rusia (if not then USSR would have never existed.
That's a lot of time playing!!! I started playing my accordeon when I was 6, but other instruments are recent aditions to my collection, I love instruments. Sort of tradition of your family the tenor saxophone, hehe, would be a sin if not inherited to your children. Ellington is a very good one of that era, also I liked the swing bands of the time, Jazz is something I've been listening since I remember as much as polka lol... I have no favorites each piece is indeed unique, so there sometimes is recurrence of good pieces in one artist, but there are also in others I can't decide, and yes the bop era was very interesting, especially for the improvisation was pretty advanced, but personally I find it easy to do because it only takes imagination, although I admit not everybody have this musical imagination (sounds hard but it's true) Davis was like a chimera of the time he tried a lot of styles but I preffer the most classic of his, fusion is more like modern but depends of the fusion, sometimes it's just noise of sorts of the mood and not always a very positive one.
Thanks for the congrats btw, I love singing I have all my life singing, all my family do it, everybody sings in the partys in the voyages everywhere...
Oh,and I've already sent a note.

True, the Russian revolution of 1917 was really only the final nail in the coffin for Tsarist control. Much (I wouldn't be hard to say all) of Russian policy during the rest fo the twentieth centry can be traced to 1917. But I wasn't aware of there were still separate monarchies inside Germany after the Nepoleonic Wars - I just learned something new!
Yea, it's been quite a while I've been playing! Playing jazz has followed me since I picked the instrument up. It's even taken me to Taiwan to play! Now that is an interesting experience to play big band jazz in front of a Buddhist shirne somewhere outside Kaohsiung! But yes, the bop era is really when jazz started diversifying into so many different styles and when individual artists would experiment with improvisation almost to the point of avant-garde. There were some pretty negative themes here too. Charels Mingus' Fables of Faubus comes to mind. There was a lot of social anger behind quite a bit of music in this time period, especially when put into context of 1960s racial tensions in the US.
And I saw that you sent a note, though I'll get to it when I have a bit more time. The middle of the week is really when my work load piles up for graduate school....I need to get going right now anyway lol I only have 15 minutes to get to class!

Well you now know something new this knowledge exchanging is pretty benefitial that's for sure... we can go into detail about the federal monarchy germany was at the time sometime later...
Well I never went to asia, even though my father converted to buddhism and knows the dalai Lama himself that's why he is far from home now among other reasons... Though I've been in hungary and Romania cause a similar reason I've went there with some of the members of my family to play polka and other local folk music along with a band of slovenian Oberkrainers I had to sing and play the acordeon there we also had to wear folk costumes, although it was not a nice experience in it's entirerity, cause I've contracted flu in there and still don't know which Influenza virus was although I know it was A (one of two times I had Influenza A) so that was a nasty momment, although I saw the landscape of those countries and the architechture of Bucharest which is wuite uniwue in eastern Europe.
Well not all of Jazz is awesome those ones you've mentioned are awfull for me but in these political issues is what I'm theorizing and making my essays about...
Glad you recived the note, take your time I'm also having a hard week here...

I totally agree, jazz has become so diversified that it tends to defy definition anymore. Avant-garde has lead to the demise of several great artists' careers...the art becomes far too removed from what people want to listen to...it's an unfortunate side effect, I think.
Art is something that can't exist in a void. You have to do it with the mindset of "will this appeal to someone else?" for which my anwser is always "yes, it has to" rather than selfish answer of "I don't care, I'm doing this for me." This is not to say there can't be deeply personal messages in it that only the artist can decipher, but once you go down the selfish road too far, you can lose that which makes your art so special - the relationship to the viewer. But then this is just my theory about it and why I strive to draw things that will appeal to viewers (or spark off conversaitons like it has between us!) I just bring it up to emphasize that jazz has done this quite a bit...John Coltrane's later music for instance - an improvisational genius that went too far, in my opinion. He removed himself almost entirely from the rest of the community near the end of his career. I can't stand his later work, personally.

Yeah does make sense if you're going to publish something, maybe in the infinity of this world there has to be someone who will find appealing exactly the same things as you, so the risk can be taken and many times it has to be taken, I have a friend who writes in argentina, he argues that he writes only for him, but he does publish his work because it will make fun for him that somebody understood or took by a personal perspective his works, it sparks conversations, in fact I met him because of his works now we talk a lot, even though he was severely critiziced for the lack of appeal in his works which are by excellence dark works which well in matter are meditations of his thinking which is open to debate and for instance it's worth to publish, now in what art means in painting, the avant-garde movements of the beggining of the XX century where not something appealing for everyone just to a few many times just a very small circle of people, so it's not a factor to consider, not even in music, also in aspects, for example, Jacques Brel a french singer, he never had a nice and beautiful voice nor he appealed physically to girls for obvious reasons, but even though he is a master, and he pretty much demonstrated it with his song "ne me quitte pas" (Fr: don't leave me) in which the appealing factor came out of taking the risk of trying to sing it, just look at the video in youtube, you can feel the song even though few notes are executed, that's being a magician, and guess what, it was by him for him and a girl. So if there is a risk to be taken you have to consider if it's worth to take it at the time of publishing art in any of it's forms. So, yeah you're totally right, I do agree with you.
