Araçari (OC from my Advanced Aves tribe) - Digital Painting
I've been trying since July to get this to upload non-blurry. I give up.
I had a lot of fun designing this character (all the Advanced Aves are fun to design, tbh... getting all those bird traits into human form is a creative feast). Hurrak, who I [posted before] is also part of this tribe.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER
Araçari works as a merchant in the Advanced Aves tribe, selling goods produced within the tribe as well as imported goods from the outside world.
CHARACTER DESIGN
The beak is actually a part of his head, not a hat, and the feathers are also attached to him, but he disguises it as a cloak.
This character is based on the collared araçari [wiki page], a small toucan, and everything he's wearing represents the markings on the bird. Here's a photo I took of one, so you can see how I turned the markings into jewelry, etc.:
On the back, the space between the wings is burgundy red, which I used for the fabric color.

Time for Aphrodite & Ares!
So, for Aphrodite, I didn't want to go with her 'golden hair' descriptions. There's nothing wrong with that, but for me, it's very stereotypical. So, I went for more of her representing the phrase 'a fiery passion' or something similar. Like her hair looks like a flame. But I remember finding a quote, don't know if it was from Homer or someone else, but in the text, they described that Aphrodite had golden hair because her hair was adorned with golden jewelry. So, I went with that. But I'll probably make Aphrodite more voluptuous in the animatic. The ancient Greeks love having something to hold onto.
As for Ares… Well, I just gave him a helmet and man boobas. And called it a day.
I don't have anything new at the table. Most of my headcanons about him are based on his personality, I guess.
To be honest, I initially considered incorporating more imagery of a serpent or a boar. The serpent is his sacred animal, and he transformed into a boar in the myth of Adonis. I even sketched out his helmet with horns or boar tusks, but it seemed a bit too cluttered. And, giving him horns made him look like a stereotypical Viking...
