This is a long-overdue thanks to *kuwari for getting my 6000th pageview. ^_^; I finally came up with an idea.. and once that happened, it only took three days. So you see, it's getting the idea that's the tough part. I really like how this turned out.. I spend a good deal of time on it. And pseudo-realism is fun to do.. I need to do more like this. ^_^;

By the way, she has three fingers because of my attempt to combine cat and human.. not because I can't count. ^_^

Thanks to the country of New Zealand for providing pictures of this wonderful bird, and thanks to whoever on dA has the hair and fur tutorials.. you didn't sign them so I don't remember who you are. ^_^; And.. obviously.. thanks to Ku, for being super-Ku-l!
