I think our eagle looks angry.

Two birds fighting, with most of the bottom bird missing off the bottom edge of the cloth?

Are there records, I wonder, of people who age out of the foster care system when they turn 18? Could he have been in the system right there in the same county he was found, aged out of it a decade earlier, drifted from job to job, sometimes homeless, sometimes not, and just never put down roots? I ask about records because his height/weight/hair color might make it a little easier.. no idea...

 

[Miss Muffet]

Carbuff, if this was printed in color could the lightbox make the scenery clearer?

I doubt our foster care systems care enough about children who age out to keep records of their physical characteristics.

I can try, but mainly it works best with black or dark lines...

Where is our wing to the left in our shadowbox picture? It seems the shadowbox picture isn't the complete drawing.

Based on the uncropped original picture, it's clear to me that there are two outstretched wings from one bird in the portion we have.

I didn't post the wings because they didn't seem to have anything hidden or hard to see. They're pretty much what they seem to be.

So the two lightbox drawings do not connect to each other.

I'm working on a color one that will include the whole picture, but it's going to take me a while.

 

[Miss Muffet]

I'm back to looking at pictures of hawk and owl claws to make sure we're not seeing a face that isn't there.

It looks like the tail feathers of a thunderbird are long. Last week, I was trying to make it a Phoenix (for the orange) and the tail interfered with that theory of mine.

The thunderbird is Mythological. Each tribe would have a different description. I'll do some more research on that later. I just thought it might be beneficial to the discussion.

Suggestion -
(I realize his hair is awfully dark red in the pic though, now that I think about it)

Robert Lewis Kuhlman
Missing since June 21, 1979 from San Francisco, San Francisco County, California.
Classification: Endangered Missing

Vital Statistics

Date Of Birth: October 5, 1957
Age at Time of Disappearance: 21 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 6'4"; 155 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White male. Red hair; hazel eyes.
Marks, Scars: Birthmark on forehead- quarter size, Freckles.
AKA: Rob Kuhlman
Dentals: Available

Circumstances of Disappearance
Kuhlman was last seen June 21, 1979 in San Francisco, California.

I'm thinking, if he was out wandering for years like my brother or something, what's to say he didn't live for ten more years til about 89 and then die tragically as our UID? With dentals available it probably doesn't hurt for me to post it here, anyway..

Here's a sketch of someone depicting the legs tucked back:

I'll look for better examples if that's not clear.

I think this is the pose we are seeing only tilted to the right a bit more. I am sketching it out and we definitely don't have the head.

 

[Miss Muffet]

Could there be a bird's head just randomly placed on front of another bird in flight? Like a collage.

I think I'm starting to see the legs tucked back like in this drawing when I enlarge the unaltered picture. That beak we're seeing in the lightbox version might just be a freak coincidence in the artist's squiggles.

I was playing around with the same idea :thinking:

Something like this??? I can't quite place the beak but you get the general idea...

Yes, that is definitely possible. Or an artifact of the staining.

But that eye seems so definite and defined.

 

[carbuff]

Am I the only one seeing the face of a wolf inside of CB's oval? Also, has anyone went with the idea that this could be the Mythological thunderbird? The more I look at this, the more I am seeing a headdress. :thinking:

That makes me wonder about something like a spirit shield. But it seems like too many feathers for that.

 

[Miss Muffet]

In every photograph I look at of an eagle or hawk diving or attacking, the legs are extremely prominent and are within view of the tail feathers. If they aren't in view of the tail feathers, the tail is pushed back behind the body and won't be visible from that angle. The wings aren't straight out in those poses either, and when they are close to straight, the legs are extremely prominent in front of the tail feathers. I really don't think we're looking at a head there.

I'm really excited about the scenery. I'm hoping we can get a better idea of what that is and what colors surround the bird.

It is the way our brains are wired. They seek patterns to form faces or other recognizable objects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

When sketching it out, it really only looks like a single bird soaring in flight with the head pointing toward the upper left.
