TFA Nightbird Character Concepts (Patreon)

Since my poll a while back had the results come in with a resounding YES to sharing my concepts and process sketches, here's a softball reveal for a major character in my comic idea. 

My goal with the project is to ultimately get a bunch of my favorite characters to go fly on a TFA version of the Lost Light, on the hunt for the elusive Knights of Cybertron, who in this continuity will be analogous to mythical Hero characters, like Maui, Hercules, or the Monkey King, with the added caveat of being living people who have been blessed with immortality by the All-Spark for their heroic deeds. 

Nightbird here? She's one of those very Knights, and credited with founding the Cyber-Ninja Core in its entirety. More details on her backstory are still in flux, but for now, here are some of my first steps toward giving her a TFA design!
