Sage the White- Initial

Okay, so this is a first in more than one way...
this is the first time I've drawn an anthromorphic bird, this is the first time I've drawn Sage's anthro form, the first time I've drawn a full background piece and posted on DA and (on another note) this is the first time I've used 'bleedproof' paper, while its much nicer for doing the lineart, as you might have noticed, it warps like a mad thing under ink wash... I've concluded its designed for marker colouring. I still have the pads of the paper around, but I'll save them for when I get my paws on markers.

I'm not 100% happy with the image anyway... mostly the anatomy :/
btw, that's my default "I'm not doing anything" pose...
Much design tweaking ahead!
