Alevice: nice edit! , but why do you arrange pallette as that? is that useful?

Thanks. That palette was one from Alucard's edit, I don't think I used many colors there, and I was too lazy to remove it :P

I just arranged the pallette like that because it was fun.  :P

I've been poking around trying to make it bird like but still keep what I more or less have now but have not had too much luck.

I will keep on trying and if not drop the bird status and just dub it as a new species!

Choosing between making it look like a bird or changing its form is a comprimise you have to take. At is current state, there are very little things indicating use that what we see is actually a bird.

Despite being apparently just a joke, I'd usggest not to redub it as a new species, for you still need a layer of associativity(?) for it to be believable in a way.

I'd suggest to forget about the teeth and make the smile with the beak alone. Something like this maybe: http://www.vogy.ch/FILE/tux.jpg

Maybe try lengthening the wings, too, so they look less like arms. Make the follow the contour of the body, also.

Alev's edit looks the best by far

i think it has a cool style :) Id say maybe try to make a little of the orange from the beak fall off to the sides, maybe that can help give it a more "mouthy" look. I dont agree with Alevice, the edit changed the style too much, and its not cute imo. I would work the shading as well a bit more ;) Oh, and i surely dont agree with Zero about leaving the peak alone.

Hope to see more updates.  :y:
