Hawk Girl


The protagonist to this guy's antagonist. She's a young woman, about 18-20, of mixed Caucasian and native American ancestry. She's a falconer, and shows aptitude for Vocal powers, but is inexperienced. Skullface (my placeholder names for these characters are Skullface and Hawk Girl) killed her family, and now she wants revenge. Or something like that; the story connecting these characters, and the other ones I'm imagining for this world, is very nebulous right now.
I sketched the face of number 1 several days ago, and spent the afternoon today drawing the pose, costume, and several options for the face. In each face, I sort of blended the features of #1 with the features of girls from photographs. #4/5 and #7 have the best faces, and based on a comment that I've received on DeviantArt, I may combine the two.

EDIT: It seems that the above image is too large for Blogger, so it was shrunk a bit. So, the images below show the character full size, with face #1, and then each of the faces at full size. Your thoughts, preferences, and critiques for this character are very welcome.

I love the idea of "Hawk Girl" and the backstory you've constructed for her. Falconry has to be one of the coolest hunting methods, and your character looks pretty hard core. I don't know if this was your intent, but the shape/posture of the bird, as well as its facial structure is very reminiscent of a Harrier. I agree that #s 4 and 5 have the strongest faces.

*Grins* A harrier it is indeed! I was hoping you'd notice.:D
Turns out that there's about a thousand (or even twelve) species of harrier around the world, so I had to do some searching for our local type.

Good concept design.
variations are great.
I think it required some detail of costume. It will be better great if you draw euip her hunting armor. But its styling are great as ever

Thanks for the comment, anima-base! I agree with you that her costume needs more detail and refining.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "hunting armor" though.

Good ideas, Anima. I'll be sure to include props like that in the final design.
