Nellie Starcatcher pencil sketches
(adult/fledgling/chick)
***
She’s Neville’s little half sister from his mom’s second marriage.
Nellie’s personality is the total opposite of her older brother’s. She’s outgoing, bubbly and charmingly cheeky. They share one trait, however: curiosity.
But while Neville works as a detective, she’ll work in the media industry either as journalist or as TV host (I haven’t decided it yet. 😅)

Enoch when he meets Neville at the police academy for the first time.
He’s both amused and fascinated by the fact that a rather tiny bird like him wants to be a detective too. And as for Neville, he can’t really handle the owl’s condescending/suave attitude towards him. Not to mention, he also feels kinda intimidated by his sheer size.

Detective duo from the night department
***
That’s Neville with his rival/co-worker, Enoch Willowperch.
Enoch is an eurasian eagle owl and works as a detective at the Woodland Police Department, just like Neville. Coming from a rich and influential family, he’s suave and full of confidence. Also, unlike the true neutral Neville, he’s a lawful good character with a strong sense of justice.
For one thing he’d uphold law and order at (almost) any cost. He’s also a father of two owlets and a loving husband. But beneath all his confidence and discipline he’s still got his own inner struggles. Enoch plays an important rule in Neville’s story/character arc.
Long story short: even though these two used to be pals at the police academy, now this eagle owl triggers the green-eyed monster in Neville with his mere presence. 😅 That’s because for Neville, Enoch seems to be perfect, he seems to have everything he only can dream of. Not to mention, despite him being about the same age as Neville, Enoch was already promoted as commander, he can play an active part in the investigations, while all he’s allowed to do is mundane paperwork. Basically everything about him just feeds Neville’s jealousy and inferiority complex.
That rivalry is pretty much one-sided though, considering Enoch sees him as an adorkable, fun little bird, who brings constant smile to his face. (Of course Neville reads that as gloating/mocking.)
In fact, he’s still considering Neville as his friend in spite of his aloof, sometimes outright hostile attitude towards him. He doesn’t even seem to notice his snarky remarks and sarcastic tone.

Some references from irl nightjars — I had the idea that the fledgling phase of the birds could be the bird equivalent for the puberty, that’s why I gave teenage Neville a lanky, bit awkward-looking body and uneven plumage which he used to feel really embarrassed about 😅
Btw, Nevvie still got those fine, hair-like feathers on the top of his head, he just prefers to wear them slicked back, because he thinks they make him look even younger than he already does (not in this pic tho, where he looks rather exhausted 😅, picrel’s just an example).

I was looking for some movies with animated bird characters for ref when I stumbled upon a childhood favorite of mine.
This bad bird here was the main reason that nine year old me got obsessed with peregrine falcons and birds in general (even went to a bird camp and such) so ofc I had to draw him.

Neville Nightglider expression sheet
***
Meet Neville Nightglider, the european nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) character I’ve created for a character development project at Corvin Art School. 🪶
He’s a detective/double-agent, while also being an anti-hero of a drama-crime fiction story with woodland animals.
More art of him is coming soon!
