Personally I love seeing like wildly different shapes and colors that are far different from the actual game, we've seen the tlq reference now but oh my gosh do I love seeing anything that doesnt look like it at all!!! Like my hero
Hes such a pretty boy i love the red color I went for him
I didnt really have specific traits that I was looking for, for other than omg is that bird hot?? /lh /silly
I did kind of join on tumblr at least when the sexyman tournament for the voices started!
Though now I do find the wildly different shapes and such more important as I kind of saw it as a sign when the creators of stp made the game and didnt fully show tlq was so maybe people interested in the fandom would get creative with art for it, create their own styles. Which is why I love seeing when they vary so wildly and differently
Especially if theyre based off of actual birds like how I took inspiration from a cockatoo for oppy and a harpy eagle for cold a penguin for broken and a lovebird for my smitten!
I also love when details match up with the personality like how for my hunted here
He has a bunch of fake eyes like how in nature butterflies and other animals have fake eyes to fool any predators, my hunted also uses both human and bird form to take the best traits and qualities from both for the best of the best for a higher chance of survival depending on where he goes, I think thats very on brand for my hunted, and the white and dark blue patterns because of the world where they are at it does snow hes built to blend in with dark skies and snow, but not built to survive the snow, that would be broken as he is based off a penguin!
