Eclipse

This Murkrow is my character, Eclipse, whom is one of the many pokemon in xxMaximum Ride--'s "The Pokemorph Lab." As one can see Eclipse is slightly different from most Murkrows due to the fact that his beak is more smooth and it's a grey-ish shade. In fact, Eclipse's only colors on him are his eyes where as even his feet are a light grey instead of the prominent yellow a regular Murkrow holds.

Eclipse is partnered up with my character, Einsam "Viper" Stern. I say partnered to instead of belongs to or some other term to do with trainers and their pokemon because their situation is a little different than the usual catching. In their case Viper found him accidentally in one of Team Cipher's holding areas for pokemon. When he released the crow Eclipse decided to follow him after he finally left the building, good thing too or else Rose would have poisoned him. You could say that after they caught Rose they made a kind of mutual bond where Eclipse would help and protect Viper and he, in turn, would help him if he ever ran into another issue. Viper catching him was merely them sealing the deal.

This was drawn in the majority by graphite pencil from a picture of a carrion crow I found, but the eye is colored with a Crayola red colored pencil and the Murkrow bits were my own placement. It is drawn in my Strathmore mini-sketchbook which is 5.5" by 8.5".
