Description Well since its end of 2013 and its been such a big year for me, I felt it was time to do a self-portrait.

And as you can clearly see I am not a human as I’ve led you to believe, but a hen-arpy no where sexy enough to be a siren and not scary enough to be a harpy, I just spend my days clucking, scaring myself, and failing at flying.

Thanks, I've been wanted to do a self-portrait for a while, and when it was suggested a themed one I had to do, I always believe you should be able to laugh at yourself and when suggested a hen-harpy it had to be done

You know, the girl reminds me of Nanami from the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena -- though I'm sure the hen-arpy has a much nicer personality.

Really cute! An interesting idea for a fantasy creature as well, not alot of chicken/ harpy transformations out there.Β

These pieces are great.Β 

What you could try to improve on - the faces and anatomy is a a bit off on this image

emilialys.deviantart.com/art/T…

Try to give your clothing some folds too.


And overall, try adding more depth by using more shading, especially dark ones to let the character stand out more. Now it seems rather flat.Β

Thanks, although might be more useful if you lift the comment on that image than this one lol was thinking this chicken isn't wearing clothes lol

Nice. I have always appreciated artists who can depict themselves with a certain amount of self deprecation and humor.

It showcases humility and a big ego at the same time. In a good way.Β 

Dig your work so far. Keep it up. Β

I think you just get to that age, even after years of hating your appearance, when you think hell if I can't accept my apprence who can, and in that same thread you've got to be prepared to laugh at yourself

HareTrinity [2013-12-28 12:33:41 +0000 UTC]

Love the arm-wing design! Makes sense that they don't help you with flying, but at least you look biologically credible, right? ("You look biologically credible" = Awesome words of comfort! )


It's a bit confusing that red feathers seem to be moulting from your head where you don't have any, but generally this a good pic with a consistent style that holds together well! I'd do a proper critique but they tend to take a while as I nitpick!
