Slitherbird, Slitherbird

The last of my backlogged chimera-critter quartet drawings, HOORAY! I think I'm most fond of this little girl, if only because I love the callback to a dragon-esque silhouette coupled with bright colors. My friend and I call this species a 'slitherbird', since it's... well, more or less a bizarre snake-heron-cockatoo cross. They're only a couple of feet long at full growing size, so they'd be great shoulder buddies.

This girl's name is Ako, and she belongs to one of my buddies, though I designed her for fun.

... I'm going to draw some less fancy slitherbirds in the future because I really do like the idea of them. Yeees.
