New fursona! New fursona! Or, at least, updated fursona design! I was starting to feel a disconnect with the new, revamped fursona design I came up with last September, so I went back to it, and ran with the same general idea, but threw in a lot more of my favorite aesthetics by amping up the anime style and including some high-contrast stripes and markings. I also updated his species by mixing in a few other bird species I particularly like and feel connections to. (The effect of this is twofold, as it also allows me to cut down on other characters I never really use.)

All of the necessary details should be on the reference sheet! If there's anything missing that you'd like to know, feel free to leave a comment or ask questions. Keep in mind that Yu, like all of my characters and artwork, is strictly safe-for-work.

If you're having trouble drawing his head, or would just like to see what his beak looks like from different angles, please feel free to check out the 3D head sculpt I made for that purpose!

One of these days I will come up with a backstory or something for him, but for now, have this. \o\
