Sorrowbird

Sorrowbird....stop whistling my name...

Title: Sorrowbird
Character: Aishiro (Cyrai's airax)

The little text above comes from a song me and my friends wrote and composed for a school project.
This was just a little sketch that I had scanned in during the spring, and it's just been lying around there since then XDD So I decided to colour it. I've never showed a picture of Aishiro before, and it was a challenge to draw a bird for a change. It just took about 2 hours to ink and colour and slap on a decent background ^^ I didn't wanna leave it blank, as usual.
I just love the midnight blue colour of the feathers and lookie, he has a little fake eye on the tail like butterflies have!
