A.V.N.

A.V.N. is the name of my makeup final's creature. It's name stands for Alpha Vacancy Nurturer. It is a celestial being responsible for keeping the avian species alive after an attempted genocide of the animal kingdom on the planet Gian Minor.
Here is my first picture dump of inspiration:

A basic anatomical breakdown of a bird; a nice and clean colour palate; a defined, protruding beak.

A feathery arrangement attached to a headband with netting.

Eyeliner drawn on reminiscent of the silhouette of a bird.

My step-grandmother always told me my hair was a bird's nest...this little girl reminds me of what I imagine my hair looked like.

Side profile of a blue bird.

The arrangement of the hair and the feathery perimeter of the eye makeup remind me of a bird.

While it reminds me more of Egypt than birds, the being is celestial, so signs and markings should probably become a factor in the design.

Special effects work has been done to this picture, but I like how the use of light above dark creates this glowing aura that a god-creature might emit.

Harlequin-esque, yes, but the undefined and fading edges almost makes the colours look like they're natural to the skin.

I love how this bird is so disproportionate s well as the colour of its head.

The incorporation of feathers, makeup, sharp lines, and round jewels creates a majestic and impressive presence.

The sharp beak, technicolored body, and faerie-like wings makes this little hummingbird appear to be a graceful and overwhelming force.

The eye makeup here is simple, but it works to create a featherlike appearance at the brow bone.

The colour combination of this bird is almost comical, but very enticing, as well. Most birds have such distinct colours to attract mates, but a god-bird wouldn't need mates, so I'm thinking the transformation will be more about making my face look like a bird and less like a colourful work of feathers.
