Inspiration is Calling

Introduction
I've been thinking about starting an avatar contest for a while now and I've finally decided to do it. This contest will be ran bi-weekly to start out with. The rounds will vary. Sometimes I will give a list of colors that must be used to create your avatar, sometimes there will be an image that will hopefully inspire you, sometimes a list of items or item limit with a theme and other times there might be a song, poem or quote.

Rules
~ Create and avatar that fits the criteria for the current round.
~ You may use the DAC or your own inventory.
~ You may only enter one time per round.
~ Please upload your avatar to imgshack, tinypic or imgur.
~ Please use the form provide when submitting your entry.

One pull of a trigger, one bullet to hell.
Is all that's needed to break the spell.

Note: My imagination kind of came up with a jumbled mix of the two images. I wanted a male-bird look; the male from the guy clutching at his chest in the 2nd image, the bird influence from the 1st image. I wanted colorful but not colors similar to the one in the 1st image, less lovey and more like the darker feel in the 2nd image while still having attractive colors. idk, I did it for fun!

Note: Took both a literal and metaphoric representation
The fluffy white for the sheep
and the chest of a lion
But I also used the umbrella as a shield fom the early march weather and you find that it leads to flowers and more springness
