Ok so I finally got around to ordering some feathers. I used moonlight feather and ordered some black duck cochette feathers and some wing feathers. I liked Arkai as he was but I wanted to up his realism and give him some extra “pizazz” if that’s the right word. I personally think he looks much better now that I’ve mixed in feathers, there’s about 200 feathers all together individually glued to the fur backing. I have more leftover and I plan to use them for other parts of the project. I’ll be using some to make a tail and some to make arms. His hand/arms will be made this coming week, I just need to sculpt extra talons for him tonight 🙌
