Logos and drawings

I've wanted for a long time try design some kind of Logo for my Black Swans.
Keeping it simple and also making look good is hard, somehow I also would like to have own coat of arms for them. (That I'm definitely going to design someday soom!)

so my to-do wish list is

• Logo
• Watermark (have "Martza" in it)
• Coat of arms
• Business card

Here is some my old ones and tests~

Logo test, cute and simple~

My first watermark test, but sadly it's not clear enough to see

Black Swan King

I got lots of requests to draw Denka's dad, Reigi, who is king of their clan.
I was trying think for months what I make him look like, it was harder than I thought..
I had to make him a little bit like Denka, but manlier. I also got art block for any kind of designing so it didn't make it any easier.

This is how it came out;

I think I still need to learn how to draw adult people, or even a little older looking.

Here is how I draw details to wings:

(sorry dA watermarks~)

Lastly, if you are into BL, you can click [here] to see my 3 panel short "comic" of Reigi~

Black swan harpie

If I would have to choose category to my OC swans it would be Harpies
I wanted give a try make one really harpy looking c:
There is still things I could have done better but this is good enough,
so here is what I made, and I wanted use as my model of my OC Denka :D

Progress parts:

I usually draw always hands even though my character might have wings, it helps me work with anatomy~

Final colors I check in Photoshop. Background also made my me.

Swan study part 2. Cygnets

First of all, sorry not posting here nothing for a long time.

I've been drawing lots but somehow I didn't get them here.

Last time I drew different swan types and then I really wanted draw swanny babies :3

(Text copied from my deviantArt description: )

When they hide to parents feathers or swim in water (photos where you can't see parents) it's harder to say what swan it is, than seeing them stading (where you can see legs too)

I noticed that line between beak and head feathers is different

a)Trumpeter -, Whooper- and Tundra swan cygnets looks similar like also

b)Mute -, Black- and Black-necked swan.

a:

Whooper swan is easier to recognize because line in beak is pointing to the tip of beak the most

Trumpeter swan and Tundra swan's parents looks already similar (except Tundra swans are noticeably smaller), but Trumpeter swan cygnet's tip of beak is slightly darker than Tundra swans', also beak is more pinkish and not so cray on sides. Trumpeter swan's beak line is more saw-like  than others'.
( tell me if you know better tips to recognize them)

b:

Black swan cygnets' beak line goes to the eyes (to me this is most easiest  cygnet to recognize) 

Black-necked swan cygnet's line goes closer to the nostrils and  is wider than other swans'

Mute swan cygnets are darkest ones (in my opinion) and beak line draws straight down

Pretty much you need to look line on the beak to recognize them c:

also looking beak and leg colors together helps a little, some legs are more orange/pinkish/ brown etc.

I tried pic coloring what looked about average right

About feather colors I can't really say much yet, sometimes they are more white and sometimes dirtier

I'm not expert with this so I might as well missed something D:

tell me if you see mistakes or better tips

best way to know who's cygnet it is, is to look parent next to them xD <3

This indeed was fun experience c: ♥
