It's been quite a long time since I've posted here, so have a retro-terror bird!
This was drawn at the behest of flashman63, a member over on the Speculative Evolution forums, a site that I frequent (Found here ) for his project, A Million Years BC; a scientific take on old, outdated depictions of dinosaurs. Seeing as that is totally my jam, I offered my services to him-hey, at the very least, it's an excuse to draw more and practice my craft.

Anywho, this guy, as you can tell, is a terror bird-or looks like one, at the very least. Actually, this creature is a descendant of the same birds that, in our timeline, would give rise to hoatzins-you know, those South American birds with claws on their wings. Seeing as colored pencils tend to fuck my lines up something fierce, I just left it black and white, but flashman said that it was brightly colored, as a bit of a fuck-you to paleoartists who make their creatures extremely colorful for no other reason than to make them look cooler. The stomach and head are meant to be bare-another little middle finger to paleoartists who just dab the barest amount of integument onto their animals.
