Grafted wings

This isn't strictly related to my FMP but I had the idea a while ago, it came back to me so I just had to do it. Although this is a character design I plan to use, it's to appear much later in another narrative project. Which, now that I mention it, is sure to crop up again.

To explain, I'm quite fascinated with the concept of altering the human condition (wiki covers it fairly well) and the various reasons for this desire from aesthetics, expressing identity to health and (debatable) improvement. I admit, however, though I've been interested in ideas surrounding it, I'm only just becoming familiar now with the term transhumanism.

Of course, this isn't anything new. Doesn't make it any less interesting or relevant for that matter.

Concerning the character in question, I have a very clear idea of how these aesthetic wings are supposed to function. 



Smoking is Hazardous to your Health

On another note, I believe this is the first smoker I've ever drawn.
This is just a rough image. While I'm proud of my line-work, my attempt to combine it with acrylic (my strong suit) failed and came out more like watercolour (NOT my strong suit).

Kudos to Jack and Tor for naming him.
