I decided on a rooster for my fursona, after some discussion with Berkshire. And I decided to make it be in remembrance of my old rooster, Pecky, who died a little over a year ago.
Pecky was minding his own business in his run one morning, and got his face torn off by a racoon. He lived for about a month with a tube down his throat, and hydration under his wings, but he finally succumbed.
Pecky was a great friend! He would come right up to the front door and peck on it, asking to be let in. I would open the door, let him in, and then hold him on my lap while he crowed in my face. He would also chase me all over the hill, running as fast as his bow-legs could take him. He had chronic bumblefoot, but that never stopped him!
So, again, here he is. Obviously he is not finished, this is just the rough sketch. I would appreciate any comments/suggestions on how I could finish him off, or how I could adjust the sketch.
EDIT
I added coloring and shading. Behold Pecky, who doesn't look nearly as good on screen as he did in real life! BTW, I really like the glassy look on the wing! ^^
Added a background and my signature.
