Posting two drawings here today! Hooray!
I guess you could consider this high-flying reporter my first ever Muppet OC? What, what do you mean "I guess?" Well, there's a reason behind it. Reason being that for all the evidence suggested, she was actually supposed to be a character in The Jim Henson Hour. Don't believe me? Go to the Muppet Wiki page here:
http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Jim_Henson_Hour Fourth picture down, you see that pink reporter bird in the baby blue business suit? Yeah, that's who I drew. She even has a lot of discussion over on the talk page (under "Who is this Muppet?"):

And yes, that is who this custom smiley is based off of (thank you so much again, Muppetboy09):
Obviously, I'm not going to leave her nameless. For that purpose, I decided (with a little help from my friends) to name her Amelia Talons. She's a reporter who mainly specializes in field reporting, although she does write for journalism on the side. She'll do just about anything to get the latest scoop. Luckily, her trusty cameraman Lindbergh is always there to help her out.
Amelia is very professional, especially when in "Reporter Mode". Do not call her "Amy", she considers it unprofessional. Call her "Amelia" or "Miss Talons", or else she will not talk to you. So far, only Lindy's ever gotten away with calling her "Amy." This is a rare case.
This is my first drawing of her, so I know there are problems. For one, her hand looks weird holding the mic. Second, maybe her hair feathers should be a bit more layered and foofy. But that's just my opinion. (Also, the shaded in head feather? It's supposed to represent some sort of light purple "streak" that I observed on the side of her head as I drew from reference.)
But now onto more well-known Muppets. And coffee.
: "Hey guys, we're back with coffee!"
Yay, I can draw other Muppets besides the JHH gang!
Yes, Scooter is holding a clipboard in his mouth, and Vicki is talking on a cell phone. Well, where else was I gonna put them? Their hands are full.
Anyway, first time drawing Scooter and Walter! Scooter was without reference. I only looked Walter up because I wasn't sure how to draw his eyes. (Plus, having Walter help as an assistant to someone, even Scooter, is an adorable idea.)
