I lie. Reed is not as new as you think. reed is an old character who never really possessed a definite design or identity. Now she does, and this is her in all of her beauty. I have also began to experiment with my shading although I do not see any improvement as of yet.
Reed is fast becoming one of my favourite character designs, she has wings which match that of her species but I have yet to draw her, she was originally to have none and in this ref does not. But she does!!! ------------------------------------------- Quick history: Because of the thistle seeds it eats, in Christian symbolism the goldfinch is associated with the Passion and Christ's Crown of Thorns. It is also an emblem of endurance, fruitfulness, and persistence. Because it symbolizes the Passion, the goldfinch is considered a "saviour" bird and may be pictured with the common fly (which represents sin and disease). During medieval times, this bird was used by some as a charm to ward off the plague Reed's full name is Redeemed. As in that of Christ. Her lineage of form the birds which ate off the crown of thorns, she is a holy lineage and knows nothing of it. She suffers horrific nightmares of the crucifixtion but doesn't know what it is, and why she sees it. She doesn't know anything of her family, she was raised by a great seagull known as Kracken (my other gryphon character) as a foster and was told to leave as soon as she could to explore the world and find a solution to her problems. Reed is pretty much your average girl, she is in her teens and in quite petite and tiny. She is bold courageous and possesses healing qualities which she is too yet to discover.
