I wanted at least something to post in December considering I usually don’t have much (all my remaining energy is reserved for gift art this time of year), so I managed to finish a drawing of Queen Eagle, mother to Prince Arvais in Feather Knights. I’ve been fiddling with her and King Eagle’s designs off-and-on for a while, but never anything polished until now. Some stuff might change when I do her full body design, but it was fun to do more of a closeup/portrait of the character, it’s been a while!

I get endless inspiration from animal themed costuming (that’s pretty much why The Wing Knight Saga exists in the first place haha), so it was fun to find ways to incorporate the harpy eagle’s feather pattern and colours into this design. Though I have yet to draw her husband, I plan to have her be taller/larger than him, alluding to the harpy eagle’s status as one of the largest eagle species.
