So I've had Secretary Bird picked out for my species for like, 3 or 4 years now, but I never really had a character design finalized. I did try multiple times too but I always had a ton of trouble. Turns out bird character designs are actually really difficult, at least when you're actually trying to carry traits over instead of just conforming it to a strictly human structure. I finally managed to put together a design for him I'm happy with though. Actually finished this a while back but never bothered to throw it up on here until now. I want to put together a more complete ref sheet for him in the future but no idea when. I want to take a lax policy to my OCs, for noncommercial use anyways. For Norm, though, since he is a representation of myself, I ask that you ask before you use the design for anything.
