- A short story to birth. (Idea and rough sketch)

Concepts are <Intellectual fluffy harpy> <Silhouette of owl> <Appealing eyes>

The monster girl of this post is the harpy using a owl as a motif, "Owl mage"!

There is no particular original monster of her because the motif is owl as an animal, but it is said that the reason why the owl is regarded as a symbol of wisdom is that the owl is symbol of Athena, the goddess in Greek mythology associated with wisdom. The owl is also used as the symbol of wisdom with Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom being equated with Athena.

Owls in MGE world are regarded as symbol of wisdom as same as our world, so owl mages are intelligent monsters good at magic.

Owls are about characteristic eyes, so owl mages have big appealing eyes, and their eyes harboring powers of magic as their concepts.

Maybe it is because of their characteristic appearance or nocturnally, owls have an image that they impose status ailments such as confusion and dazzled, when they appear as enemies in RPG etc. From this point of view, owl mages cast magic like hypnosis affecting a thought and a sense of direction.

it seems that they like to draw a man to them, and they often get him to cuddle them!

By the way, although it is not written in encyclopedia, owl mages have wider movable range in comparison with human like owls in our world, so they can look back right behind by only turning their head around.

If you are just behind her, you cannot escape from "evil eyes" of the owl mage suddenly turning around and staring you!

As shown in picture, her design was almost fixed in the rough sketch, so there is no big difference.

I tried to design her to be able to include all of 3 elements, "cuteness", "intellectuality", and "uncanniness" because the motif is an owl that is regarded as the symbol of wisdom and ominousness. When using animals in real as a motif, designs often end up brown-based color, so I tried to use purple as her color, but I felt brown was suitable for her in the end.

Eyes are her best feature and weapon; I tried to draw it impressive. Big pupils and gorgeous lower eyelashes!

I also design her as bob cut curling inward, to make her hair style roundish and cute silhouette giving intellectual and mystic impression. There are "ear tufts" looking like animal ears on the side because these are cute!

Fur that clothe around neck is a kind of design I often use. I designed her to especially have more fur!

The fur emphasizes fluffy impression, and I intended not to show movable part of her neck turning around. If you can see, it might make you feel fear! 

A tie clip uses a face of owl as a motif.

There are many variant having small and slender body in harpy families overall, but owl mages are medium-sized race because owls are a kind of raptors. 

Actually, she is slightly short, but she has big tits because she is medium-sized.

Talking about owls, their unique and roundish shapes are characteristic. To reproduce their shape, I designed owl mages to have a lot of plumages!

Real owls have slim shapes if they don't have plumage. In the same way, there is a slender and voluptuous body having feminine line under the plumage.

I was very particular about that satisfying both of owl-like silhouette and erotic silhouette of woman on her design!

Silhouette of tits are swelled and projected, and there is large plumage under tits, so these make a silhouette like a pigeon breast.

And, her most attractive feature is around hips appearing between plumage covering a pigeon-breast and legs!

To emphasize feminine figure, to not obstruct the silhouette of owl, I designed her hips to be conspicuous because surrounding parts are clothed.

She wears tights on her hip. I think black tights suit intellectual women such as a librarian and a scholar! This is the one of reasons why she wear tights. If her hips are nude color, it is too bright, so I use a dark color fitting in surrounding plumage in order not to break an overall silhouette. This is another reason.
