Character models
As there are no models on the web for a bird holding a rifle, I looked instead for a person holding a rifle, and found this:
which is cool and all, but does not quite suit my purposes.
New discovery for me: Cortney Tidwell, who is, well . . . just listen.
Great stuff. I got her album “Don’t Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up.” Not a single dog on that album.
D.
One thing I’ve learned: it takes an enormous amount of time to produce even crappy art.
Hence the rise of abstract art! Take a squiggle, a dot, a bunch of splatters and add something that’s far too easy – marketing!
Appropros of nothing – am re-reading Ray Bradbury’s creepy stuff, which I read as a wee lass, and is really pretty fabulous.
Maybe I chose the wrong stuff to read. I liked Something Wicked right up until the end, when he ruined it IMO. And then there was that awful “The Next in Line.” Tell me what you’re reading . . .
I am utterly astonished that there are no images of birds holding rifles. I mean, come ON, internets.
This is a little too cartoonish for my tastes.
the internets didn’t fail! A bird with a gun!
Ok, so it’s not what you need. Still, it’s a goddam BIRD with a GUN!
How about a raptor holding a rifle? They’re almost birds…

That works! Thanks. And the guy who did that is a way better artist than I am, but it still gives me a clue.
