Description

This is my entry to *Ink-Jam's draw-to-adopt contest thingy [link]

I've had so much fun drawing this! I never expected it but wow.. This is a very great design (and I hope to draw it many more times in the future). I really like it that she's not your usual harpy, feathers are not shown well, to be fair the bird part of the harpy isn't clear at all. Maybe that's why I had so much fun drawing her in the same design but a completely different style from the original. I am aware of the colors that are actually on this creature, I didn't use as much pink as there is on the original just because of the style, I am not changing it and I would continue to draw her as the original in the future if I'm given the chance to (hopefully no one minds...)

A few ideas I've thought of about this harpy:
Her name would be Teklė. She lives in a world very much like ours, not aware of any of these creatures living beside us, in a wealthy family as their servant-guard. She is immortal and has been taking care of the family for generations. She doesn't speak at all, but she's very intelligent and if there's a reason to share something she'll show you. Teklė is extremely loyal to the family, she is taken care of well and to return that favor she does anything her master tells her (usually involves killing (which is why blood is there, oh no, no one saw that coming), kills being clean or destructive). Being a kind and respectful creature towards the family she sometimes takes the nanny's place to look after the family's children and does the job very well knowing that one of them will grow up to become her new master.
The last generation she looked after was in the 20s. The family made a few wrong friends and the family was basically slaughtered at their home at night while Teklė was locked in the closet by her owner so no one would find out about her existence after this raid. After a few days she came out to find maids and butlers lying on the ground in a pool of blood, shortly she finds her family too. As a loyal creature she didn't take advantage of this and didn't run away to her freedom. She gathered the family members' bodies in the master bedroom on the bed. She has been guarding their bones ever since. The mansion might be dusty, maybe even falling apart but she's there to look after her family till the end.
