AvianHouse had a contest about designing a mascot character, and here is, if not my submission, then at least a rhough scetch of what i had in mind, I wanted something icon that didnt resemble any specific bird (although the idea of doing a mascot owl did cross my mind). I also wanted something that'd be recognizable no matter what style its rendered in. and well, a circle with goggles is rendered similarly no matter if its anime aor realistic style (althoughi bet if you want it realistic you might want to render it like more of a traditional anthro bird)

Name? of course it must have a name, its mr. Aviator, or Arí The Aviator (yes, The is his middle name, although if you asked him head tell you his middle name is hotshot, although thats actually his grandfathers middle name, Alabaster Hotshot Aviator (but you can call him Al))
