I usually set supernatural-folk au stuff in modern day, but I’m struggling with redesigning and adjusting his modern wear, so for this one it’s more canon typical
Some fun facts for this design:
Ezio is directly inspired by the Bonelli’s Eagle
The ‘ear’ feathers are just that— feathers. They can move and spread out or whatever in accordance to expressing emotion and displaying, but his actual ears are just ear-holes (don’t go looking for them it’s weird)
The ‘skin’ attaching the upper and bottom jaw is a length of muscle that can increase the action and range of his jaw. I wanted to include it because it looks cool this muscle attachment and arrangement is also found in dinosaurs and birds
Feathers fluff and flare out in aggravation and defense— also helps with communicating emotion
All his hair (including the beard) is meant to resemble feathers or be feathers if you look under a microscope so I hope that communicates somewhat
