Pure Ones CE WIP

Well I started this last night...

It's been a while since I did something serious, and I'm kinda afraid I'm forgetting what I learned in art (the last time I had an art class was sixth grade ;^; )

It's a bit bright, I'll have to work on that, and those flight feathers...

It's Acrylic on a 8-by-10 canvas. The idea is he'd knocked over a cup of red feather dye and it's spilled all over his talons...

What I have sketched out for this character so far (things in parentheses are still unsure):
Name: (Dayven)
Age: (Young, Mature)
Weight/Height: (average)
History/personality: Hatched in a Kraal group, learned their customs and ways before he struck out on his own to the Southern Kingdoms. There he joined the Pure Ones and quickly moved up the ranks to Lieutenant. Very superstitious and likes to know all he can know about something. Practices odd rituals to bring good luck and keep away bad luck, paints his feathers.

Any constructive criticisms are very welcome, as I've said, I haven't had art in ages.
