About my recent Harpy arts (Patreon)

I really like the Harpies described in mythology.

To me, I wish them look much more like birds. I know everyone has their own interpretation, and Harpies never actual creatures but the imagination of many ppl throughout history. This is simply my personal preference.

Most Harpies in fantasy games, especially the sexy naked flying woman type of design were never my cup of tea. But the Harpies in Dragon's Dogma are one of the very few designs that struck me perfectly. When I played the first game over a decade ago, I was amazed. Yes! This is exactly what a Harpy should look like!

Then during my career in game development, I always hoped I'd have a chance to design Harpies like that. Unfortunately, I wasn't a character designer, so I never had the authority to decide what the Harpies in the games should look like. I worked on several projects that featured Harpies, but they always ended up as the familiar sexy women with wings and talons, act like humans.

Back then, I couldn't help wondering if my taste was simply too strange to fit into the team. Now that I can draw for myself, I no longer have to worry much about what other people think.

Tho, my abilities are limited. I can draw still arts, but can't bring them to life as living, breathing characters in a game all by myself. Even so, seeing all of your reactions makes me feel that I'm not alone.

Thank you for enjoying my Harpy arts!
