Thunderbird...?
Looking good so far. If we're going for some realistic things here, I would try imagining the whole body, from head to
toe talon, and then seeing if the object doesn't cover some lower parts of the body. Like, if the talons were actually under the object, or maybe even clenching some of the object, maybe it'd be a nicer sight than wondering what happened to the bird. Of course, that's a suggestion. The Thunderbird logo here doesn't do that. :p
The hair at the top reminds me of an Articuno with a nice hair groom. xD I don't know why!
Shield's nice. Are those lines supposed to denote where the names belong...?
I really enjoy it. Keep going, bro!~
