Thanks Jack Trowell and llamabeast for the advice.  The bird looks good, but I might add a few changes to better match details I've researched.   
Thanks elmokki for the usage of your sprites.  I'm expecting to only use a few basic units.  I might change a few colors for my mod.

 I'm very excited about this mod and wish I could share all the details, story, research and unique design, but I'd rather reveal the entire package upon release for a greater impact.  I do plan to send the first final version to Illwinter.  I'm thinking of creating a second version specific for singleplayers who are seeking a more challenging AI opponent as well.  
My toughest decisions currently:
1) Placing units/beings as summons, heroes and\or recruitables.
2) Amount of time spent creating images and historical researching.
3) Proper game balance design for multiplayer.
