Inktober: Day 26

I felt inspired to draw another Ahnurthian denizen: the Illusuro's famous storyteller, Worldwanderer! She's visited more places in the world than any other Illusuro her age, and has even been courageous enough to venture to places where you cannot see the sky. Wherever she goes, she always gives an old song, and takes a new story.

These are some planning doodles I did for the Illusuro, an Ahnurthian race I have unfortunately ignored for much longer than I should have. After months of struggling with a hodgepodge of features that only seemed to vaguely fit, I finally figured out a design that feels just right for these guys!  I'm hoping to draw a lot more Illusuro now that I feel comfortable with how they look.

The writing in the upper corner is just a note for myself for the inspiration for their appearance: barn and snowy owls, and a (REALLY ADORABLE) New Zealand parrot called the kakapo.
