I started the model with a Standard Primitive Sphere with enough segments to allow me to add detail later on in the modelling process.
Moving up Loops of Edges created the rough head shape.
I wanted to capture the alert hunting expression of my source photo so here, I've recessed the eye sockets, bought out the eyebrows and extruded a beak to give a similar expression.
Small black Spheres are added for the eyes. Colour changed to something a little more realistic.
Throughout the process I wanted to refer to the source photo. This was made easier by creating a Plane and dropping on a Jpeg Image using the Material Editor.
In this render I've massaged the body into a more realistic shape and added a the wings from sculptured Spheres.
I'm pretty pleased with how the model's going, I'm loving his nasty expression, Grrrrr ;o)
