Eagle studies, with the aid of fairy-wren’s helpful avian Tumblog.
I was recently called a ‘proper artist’ by someone I respect and admire, so I thought I ought to live up to the praise by doing some proper artistic studies before barging in on a character design like I own it already.

Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri)
…is a large species of sea duck native to the coasts of Alaska and Siberia. Like other sea ducks the spectacled eider dives for its meals which usually consist of molluscs and crustaceans. The spectacled eider like other eider species is sexually dimorphic as males sport a striking white, black and green coloration while females have a more modest chocolate brown coloration. During the breeding season eider pairs will move inland to tundras close to the sea to lay their young.
