Perch

Nothing like a picture inspired from a joke that is six months old, and I don't quite remember what brought it on. I know it had something to do with watching the dance of courting (desperate male) birds, along with how the talons of birds work. When a bird is relaxed, the talons are in a closed (clenched) position. Know this from personal experience since my dad used to slingshot the jays in our backyard with marbles, and some of the jays started acting like unconscious bats. Either way, birds have quite some grip. Suggestion in the end may have been about pole dancing birds, something based on what was likely mentioned above. Not 100% sure. But then again, why not play on this concept; thus we have a pole dancing Articuno.

I'm not good with jokes, so ended up going mostly pretty with this image. Proper bird, well, if you can call a Pokemon proper, without any actual anthro details added. So basically, a giant fancy pigeon on a pole, because that is how this just turned out. Quickie image of course, which works for a simple, sort of brainless concept. I know people do such things with more humanoid, and properly bipedal things as frankly, actual birds don't really do this. Not to mention, try referencing for this. It's impossible.

Blue, quick and sparkles everywhere. Weird, but at least not lewd... I hope. Know the one thing I'm going to resent about this image is the possibility that this 3 hours slap-together will end up outpacing my most recent 50+ hours image. Cheap work, cheap end results. And the artist laments.
