I am planning a highly realistic avian suit fashioned after a blue jay, my favorite local bird, but I must decide first whether I want it to be as much like the species as possible (left) or with a few differences to make it my own and really bring out the personality of the bird (right). Eye color might also be subject to change as red might be a bit... well... Hellish in real life.

Feel free to offer your thoughts on which version you prefer!

This is color pencil on sketch paper.
