so this is a gift for  digitalblood for her birthday
i drew this several weeks ago but didnt upload it till now cuz i wanted it to be a surprise in the post for her.

so this is a mythical creature called a cockatrice. they are really weird looking animals, but still cool :D i had loads of fun with the background, blending everything.

i know there are a lot of things wrong with the background and other things, but its just another learning curve, so please enjoy :D

this pose was referenced off an eagle
