This is an

Awesome character.

Thanks. I love them/him/whatever too. X3

Dark, twisted. I like =D

That flatters me, thanks!

The "not a HIM but in fact a THEM" bit up there reminds me of the scene in Hellraiser: Bloodline, where the twin cenobytes merge together while there's one guy between them.

I like those guys. I dunno why, maybe because of the german name?
I also totally dig the way you designed their mouths/beaks. It's pure genius.

Oh damn! I've been intending to watch those films 8C That sounds pretty gruesometastic.

Heehee, I'm a dork for German (noun-)based names. XP
And thanks! I'm quite proud of that idea... Sometimes I wonder if I should've given these guys noses but it would be so impractical what with the combination of a beak and such...

Honestly, I think they're good the way they are. They'd look silly with a nose.

And I can only recommend the Hellraiser movies. Well, one through four. the fourth was supposed to be the last one, but then someone decided to dig out the license and make some more. Number five through eight stray far from the original Hellraiser. They're more the modern kind of confusing horror movies where you can't tell what's going on for real and what not. They're not horribly bad mind you... well, maybe the last one which reminds me more of a teeny slasher flick than anything else.

But they're worth watching if you like chains and hooks and people being torn apart by them. Von Geier's would have fun cleaning up that mess.

...Or ears. But then, they'd look too human ... even though bald people can look quite unsettling...

But anyways, thanks for the heads up (and recommendations too, of course). Heee.

You continue to explode my mind with your awesome creatures ! Don't ever stop drawing >w<

I'll try not to XD

Aww the "Have You No Decency Sir?" one's adorable!

Heehee. He looks so bare and skinny without his coat. X3

Dancing must be a chore for them.

Hahaha! Yeah, they can't keep any kind of balance except in a merged form which... is just too huge to be any useful. XD

MAN I REALLY WANNA SEE THEM DO THE TANGO. omg

I DUNNO
WOULD YOU WANNA DANCE WITH A HUGE BIRDMAN

SUUUUUURE why not. HE'S COOL ENOUGH.

Every time you draw these characters, the more interested I get in them


They're just so interestingggg

Hahaaa man this comment makes me realize that people probably don't know the same things I do 8C

Bahaha. I better get into stories with them, but it's haaard

I love that he/they should probably come across as being a teeny bit scary, but instead their just totally cute! XD

also, that hat brings me tons of joy.

Heehee. XD Well, I'd imagine they'd be scary if you were an undead person! Living people they even won't harm (or whoever they consider living).

Lol then I'm safe! Er.... most of the time...

I totally love your style, it's just BA. XD

This looks like it was so much fun to draw...

Moar fun than the Photoshop version I tried working on. :I At least MS Paint doesn't lag! XD

The more I see this character the more he reminds me of one of the minor demons from Spirited Away.

Which one? I'm not sure I recall...

Well, he does have a kissing-cousin resemblance to Kaonashi (No-Face) but I didn't have a particular spirit / god / demon in mind. He just really resembles the Shinto spirits that showed up to the Aburaya during the film.

I better watch that film again. XD

Always a good move, if only because it's such an awesome film.

Really, comparing your character to the spirits of Spirited Away is one of the highest compliments I can pay. It's supposed to be a kid's movie but it has some amazing depth and poetry behind its fairy-tale storyline.

I find these creatures oddly charming.

Hee, I'm flattered. X3

one leg? must be difficult to find pants! :]

Now the old Donald Duck problem rears its ugly head - THEY'RE NOT WEARING ANY PANTS D8

Tiger and Bonkers, Kid and Baloo, even the Nephews are doin' it tooo, they're doin' the no pants daaaance. They're doin' the no-pants daaaance, doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-yaah, the no pants daaaance, no pants, no pants!

Donald and Daisy, whataya crazy? Maybe just pants ain't for everyone!

asdasdghfh

brilliant XDDD

woops, I just realized I added an extra line in there XD

take out one o' those They're doing the no pants daaance near the beginning XD

Ack, I love them, I never knew for sure if they had one leg, no my mind can rest

Aww! Well, now you know! XD

This is fascinating character design! :D

I love the surrealistic design. :3

Thank you! X3 I'm quite proud of them...him...somethingsomething

awesome ref, they are cool owo

Thank you :>

I love this characters (bad grammar intended) a painful amount. ;0;
Perfect mix of vulture/human for the head. I could tell it's supposed to be both, but it's really evenly balanced. That's so hard.
<3

Bwahaha, good way to avoid confusing pronouns, hahaha.

But thank you! I'm very pleased to hear this.

Aaaah, thank you. <3 That's the kinda thing I was going for! Disturbing was my initial thought when these guys showed up in my head for the first time... XD

this is just amazing! i love it! especially the one with hat being taken off~
may i draw this on adobe illustrator? :3

Hee, thank you!
Draw? :U Oh, sure! Just let me know. XD

Very awesome design.

Thank you!

WOW I totaly want to hug this, then take it home with me.

Awww. XD And then your house would smell of expensive cigarettes.

I would totaly not mind if I had that to glomp every morning XD

lovelovelove this character

<3

Thanks. :D

Dohoho <3 Comments like these make me feel all fuzzy like the vultures' fluffy feather collar, lol.

Perhaps I ought to watch Inception? The premise seems interesting enough!

And I originally watched Dark City since people commented on how my vulture guys looked familiar, hahaha. I looked up pictures of the Strangers and I was like OMG. I basically just updated PvG's hats to look like those on the Strangers, lol. Though I could still see them wearing those ol' bowler hats... or even top hats... Those would look cool. Something like this: http://www.mayflower.org.uk/shows/2.....y07_news19.jpg

Also silly trivia - I originally got the idea for these guys when I was listening to Alan Parsons Project's song "Psychobabble" on a train, haw haw. I think they had glowy eyes and menacing grins.
Boy have they changed! They were just creepy humanoids, now they're a fairly even blend of humanoid and animal features, which is something I'm very pleased with. I love these guys.
Can't go wrong with a CROP. (However I still wonder where they keep their suitcases... weird hammerspace birdmen...)

Ooooh, I see. XD I will have to check it out, then!

And fff I agree wholeheartedly. Just, say, drawing a dog and colouring it green; it's all fine and dandy and all but it isn't creatively stimulating for me. Of course, I tend to have a bias towards humanoid beings (because I am human and I like humans like how Scott McCloud would put it) but I've tried exploring more "alien" beings that are radially symmetrical and that have no limbs or instead have extra limbs... That's right people, there's a larger variety of animals on earth than just mammals. (I also blame some biologist friends for influence heheh)

Oh and to be honest ... giving them a single leg was just a random thing I thought would look fun and weird, but then, since they move by hovering ominously (or flying), it doesn't really make a difference how many legs they have...
People have also offered some input regarding how that single leg could work anatomically:
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog......&e=1109528 this one's great
http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/.....cted/ranko.jpg but this is even better.
Needless to say I'm flattered by how helpful people can be when I'm struggling with something seemingly impossible. XD Though these guys are still defying laws of physics in many ways (LIKE OH THAT FLOATING THING lol) ...

And d'awww I love inspiring people ffff <3

I really like this. Reminds me of a Hunchcrow, but grittier!

Heehee. I've been more a fan of Murkrow myself. XD

Oh sure! But he doesn't rock that awesome hat!

OMG this is like every creepypasta come to life as one glorious master race.......

FFFFFF
that's an awesome way of putting it.

Thinking (too much prolly lol) on some comments I saw up there, the skeletal structure when it came to only having one leg would be simple and interesting. The femur bone would most likey be semi-connected to the start of the few tail bones that birds have. almost like a second tail if you will. That way, the body would be centered and have decent balance on one leg. (thats why humans can't stand on one foot for very long, unbalanced because the foot is on one side of the body and not centered)

I'm loving the design of this character, you've done a good job with them

Hmmm, that'd look interesting... XD

And thank you! X3

I like to come up with random char designs a lot and Skeletal structures are fun to do =D

THIS


<3

YAY X3

I'm loving these guys. I want to use something like them in a game I'm running...

Thanks!
Oh? What kind of game?

I'll note you the details. :>

can i borrow him to murder my brother's computer? it tried to kill me and gave me a concussion when i fell on it.

lol wow sure looks like they are fun to hang out with.....as long as he wont find me delicious o-o
