Description

Yeah... I suck at titles...
*caddman asked me to draw him his crow guide 'Bloodrock', then '[him] as the crow with [his] guide on my shoulder or perhaps a new ID' so I thought an anthropomorphic crow like Yig, but finally I got the 'feel free to design whatever hits you' signal and came up with the above :peace:B-) First I wanted to do a bit more fantasy, with all feather coat (having done anthropomorphic before) but then I thought of the plague doctors, as they dressed up during the bubonic plague, and when I got to it, felt more like something steampunk (is steampunk to go in the 'fantasy' category, btw?), making the mask a wee bit more gas-mask-ey (though the overcoat with feathery rims may look a bit fruity... :hmm:?)
Another conversation on the origins of his screen-name also invested inspiration in the idea of the exo-arm with drawing/painting utilities...
I noticed the watch was a common theme in our Skot's work, too, though I don't know what purpose hooking it on to a thick tube had :o

Well, explaining my thoughts I hope he may forgive me for the liberties I've taken, having his guide end up too small, and just a small part of the whole ^^;

To be used exclusively by *caddman :iconcaddman: for his devID

Caddmann reference used from his [link] (don't know how accurately it's referenced, though... the picture isn't great for exact details :shrug: )

(scanner still sucks, had to re-scan this twice because it had changed its own settings and now the flavour of the week is bluish, apparently... ah well... I would've preferred sepias on this, but ah well :shrug: beggars cannot be choosers)

Hah! :lol: Very original work! :D I mean - original person.
Reminds me strange and eerie characters of Tim Burton.
I think Caddman was happy to get this, huh? I would be. :D
Good work! :clap:
