Red Tail Character (Patreon)

Early this fall, I've had the extremely sad chance to meet young red tail hawk. It died next to my family's house in the countryside, probably hit by a car as it flew about, inexperienced in the ways of the modern road system. It died without shedding a drop of blood, stunned to death on the side of the road, probably only a few minutes before I found it there...I've got to say, I've been deeply touched by the senseless death of such a beautiful, young bird. The world is such a cruel place for raptors. It's literally kill of be killed 2 months after hatching... I traded a few feathers and gave it a proper burial and ever since, I've felt a strange connection to those floofy goobers. They're beautiful things.And well, sadness aside, what better way to give respect to a dead, nameless wild bird that lived about 6 months but to give it a second life in our world and DRAW IT A BIRDSONA???I really don't know what I'll do with her. But she had to be born.Added some quality silly doodles because that's like half of my sketching time.
