A character reference for Jake, a Great Black Backed Gull that features in my "Picking Sides" story. This is kind of an info-graphic but oh well. The Great Black Backed gull is one of my favorite birds, so you'll just have to bear with it. ;)
I worked hard on this picture to try and get more realistic shading and shadows, and am pretty happy with it.
I used this video for a drawing reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CL6NunnYkI
The information comes from memory, but here are some of the main sources:

Thanks for the comment :) IMHO, the GBBG is a very elegant bird.

Nice drawing. I really like how you make the feathers look. It seens pretty real.

Thanks! This was an exercise to try and improve my shading/textures. I still have a way to go though.

Oh my reeds, rabbits??? Well, as I rabbit myself, I would love to fill his belly and provide him with those caloric requirements <3

If you're interested, that could happen at some point if you enjoy RPing? Jake is a well established character of mine as he has lots of written material to go from. GBBGs can get surprisingly big.

Thanks, I'll consider that. I have so many people to RP with already, but I'll add you to the "queue" if you fine with that, hehe.

Oh, I understand LOL, I've had a few RP partners as well, and I've got a lot on my plate IRL at the moment as well.

I would love to rp with you some time! I can do it over this, or i have a discord if you want!

I prefer to do it on here. Some time this week would be fine by me. Shoot me a pm if you're interested, and we can discuss scenarios. If youve read some of my previous RPs in my gallery you will have an idea of the sort of stuff I like to do.
