Mummy Bird

This bird has risen from it's crypt in Ancient Egypt... Behold, the Mummy Bird! This was my third hybrid, and honestly, it was pretty fun to make. The bird design wasn't too hard at all. A mummy of an Angry Bird is merely the bird wrapped in bandages. I drew the basic outline of the bird, and then traced the shape of the eyes and eyebrows, as though the beak wasn't there. I then just drew faint lines for the bandages, which would later be outlined in black crayon and shaded before having the Sienna-Gold crayon color layered on top. The fun part was the backdrop: a classic Ancient Egyptian-style tomb. I drew a blazing torch placed on the wall, kind of Indiana Jones-style. I also drew a golden King Tut head, which my mom was pretty impressed with. The best part was making the hieroglyphics. What do you notice about them?

If you look closely, there are drawings of birds, pigs, and animations from the game. I made them with pen to make them visible and prominent, but you'll have to zoom in to really see them. The most visible pictures are the Egyptian-style "sideways" profile pictures of the red and black Angry Birds, and a stick figure doing the "Egyptian dance". I used the specific colors of black, chestnut, raw sienna, and burnt orange from the Crayola 64-crayon pack to color the floor. I used gold, dandelion, black, raw sienna, and some scarlet to do the walls, and red, scarlet, yellow orange, dandelion, and yellow to make the fire.

More hybrids are on their way! Please comment and share your opinion on these birds! I'll make new ones by majority of request from readers.
