Ta'hane, one of the 1st gen Avians.  The Flyers didn't spring up as Flyers overnight; the wings started off arm sized and useless for flying and holding things, though they could be used as arms, more or less.

I need to work out how to do feather stalks into skin.

Gnarus' treasured katana (which is probably just about nodachi sized for him seeing as he's all of 1.4m high) resting on its scabbard, and a pendant he doesn't take off (really, it was a fight to get the still life set up ;))

I can't remember what in the hell I looked up to get the design for the pendant, all I remember is it was off a card (Tarot style card, not greeting card).  If anyone recognises it and can tell me what it's from I would be most appreciative.

i modelled the katana and scabbard off one of the myriad of photos floating around the internet, the pendant off a source I need to relocate.  I'm happy with the pendant and scabbard textures but think I'll rework the katana.  And possibly the red and blue gems in the pendant.

Illustration from when the idea was for Perth to be a megalopolis with towering buildings and Zara (who is still one of the best thieves in Perth) is anime armed to the teeth.
