Bluebird

I decided to try skinning a bird just because they are so hard to map onto the Steve body. I picked a male bluebird (scientific name Sialia) because they have really vibrant colors. I used my Bamboo tablet and Skincraft to make this skin. It is definitely better than using the touch pad on my laptop :P I couldn't think of a credible way to make a beak. I have to say - this was one hard skin to create.

Here is the link to the animal planet illustration that I used as a reference: http://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/bluebird-info.htm
