Quoth the raven nevermore
Pretty sure if the raven has a name it is ‘Nevermore’ however if you leave nevermore off, then it sounds like the raven’s name is ‘Quoth’ so made pictures with both options.
I wanted to make the raven look happy rather than sinister, like he's at a social event (raven school reunion or some such) and is enjoying himself.
The body is a simple multires sculpt, except for the feathers around the neck and tops of the legs, these are individual modified curves.
To design the raven I took multiple images of ravens, imported them into pixelmator and then drew over them to get outlines for a front and side view that could be used in blender as reference images.
