Character design for a client that I communicate with VIA e-mail. :)
This character is a kakapo who lives in a modern-day setting and is a B-List actor born in New Zealand. He also has Maori ancestry, hence the tattooing on the arm.
(Note: I do realize the taboos associated with straight-up copying the tattoos from the Maori, so it is of my own design. Any similarities to an actual tattoo worn by a real-life Maori is unintentional.)
(Note 2: Since every time I even mention Kakapos, this is brought up so I'm making a preemptive comment. Yes, I am aware of the infamous Kakapo/Cameraman video. You don't need to mention it or link to it. I find it kinda redundant at this point...)

Yeah, everyone thinks of poor Sirocco when they think "Kakapos" but they actually have a pretty wide range of personalities.
Now, if you wanted to throw a FUN reference in there, you'd give this fellow the voice of Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords. His mother was Maori, he has an amazingly sarcastic sense of humour, and he's actually played a parrot. (The nasty Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo Nigel from the Rio movies). ^.^
