I try to draw our kingfisher how he should look like in the animated scenes. Important is the balance between simplifying and identification as kingsfisher.

To going fast foward in animation it should be simplified but I would also like to show the beautiful feather pattern the kingfisher has. So for normal shots I suggest we should work with this outlines and fill it later on with this beatiful watercolour pattern the kingfisher has on his head.(in After Effects)

The only closeup of (shot3) it should maybe be more detailed (karin is working on this shot :) ).
So I would like to have your opinions and maybe your suggestions as a scetch.
