Description A new reference for Danbuster's powerful avian-ally and protector of the innocent, Air Chief Marshal Marquila.
(Also worth noting, as I'm trying to improve my drawing techniques here, I've been changing my eagle designs to be a more realistic with things like long wing and tail-feathers and eyebrow ridges)


Update: Added wingspan measurement

If I had to take a vote as far as who is your most powerful character in your entire cast, Marquila takes my vote.

IN the many years we've drawn him, he's really come a long way and he's improved so much too! He may look like a gentle giant but I hate to make him angry, as I've had my fair share of encounters of both talons and beaks on parrots...imagine what his talons and beak could do, on top of his powerful electric attacks.

I gotta admit too, I've never seen Marquila looking upset though

Heh, yeah - no doubt about Marquila's strengths, both hidden and obvious...
He has feelings too, of course... even the big guy can feel emotion.

Yeah but it's not everyday you see him looking glum.. now if only he did express fear just for humor sakes.

Heh, I think the only time he does that is when he pretends to be captured by young 'uns playing "Good guys and bad guys" (or whatever they call it now... in the olden days, it'd be Cowboys and Indians, but that's probably not politically correct any more... too racist...) ;;

Lookin' good! Oh, so that's what he looks like without his cap. ^^ Not that I ever wondered what he looked like without his cap. But he looks real big and powerful, you did a good job at showing off his weight. Plus I love all his different expressions. His sad expressions makes me wanna hug him.

Heh, heh... thanks very much, Kel!
Yup, a very nice looking cowlick, and indeed there's solid muscle in that chest and wings!

Your very welcome, bud!

Heeheehee, yeah. Though I'd expect that from an eagle.

Yup, even a big guy like Marquie can cry manly tears, but on the other talon, if he visited the Angry Birds, I reckon this mighty eagle would impress the Mighty Eagle.

Showing off his impressive wingspan, I see. Marquila's looking spot on, nice job on his expressions especially, and we finally get to see what's under that helmet as well.

Thanks very much, Mark!
Yup, I've really been trying to work on those wings... and in the process of growing into his character, he developed a nice cowlick!
