The Dodo

Once the king of all creatures feathered, the Dodo ruled with might and respect from the ground. The island of Mauritius was his kingdom until driven into extinction by Dutch immigrants. Could he be protecting the last remaining egg to carry on the powerful family line?

This is beautiful! The coloring and sense of volume you developed is excellent. My only crit would be the wing placement, but I am not very informed in the relm of birds...
Thanks. I was half bullshitting it because there aren't many images to draw from. It could probably be shifted one way or another, but that's ok.
man i wish i could do pastel like that!
