Can we be friends? - [ FFXIV ] (Patreon)

Best bird daughter! I'd been dying to draw her and all those lovely blue tones since Endwalker came out, and then someone booked has as a reward and gave me the chance to go to town on this!

As usual, it was a lot more work than it looked at first, largely thanks to all the tiny feathers, as well as the feathered hairstyle. And of course my habit of telling myself "I'll just color it flat" and waking up three days later to a fully rendered piece. I think I need an intervention...

I plan on making a print of this to put up on StarStickers, so if you had to choose would you prefer the far shot or the close up (first in the thumbnails)?

As always, would love to hear your thoughts!
