Here is the final Birblan in all his irate majesty.

Fanart of Aslan Liongray and Boden Caryen from Astra Knights of Veda (by Hybe and Flint). But as birds cause I thought it would be funnier. Painting the city made me realise I was mixing up fun and artistic masochism again.

I used Egyptian vultures for him as white birds are mentioned in his family lore. He’s kinda murderous too. Alsan’s name is Turkish and Egyptian vultures have ranges in Türkiye. I mixed bearded vulture into him to make him look more pissy and less frumpy chicken.

The main Egyptian vulture references were mainly from Zillah’s bird packs ;

Line art brushes are TGTS Chromagraph. Colouring brushes were about 98 percent TGTS Kolormark with the brush mode changed to normal instead of multiply.
