Artist's Comments

The rare and irritatingly quick Archelionterix is a frightening beast, with the head of an ostrich and the body of a slightly emaciated lion. Its most fearsome characteristic is its breath, which gives victims the same feeling as having eaten a dozen garlic cloves for lunch.

This is also an entry for *wezenbeesje's Design A Creature contest. Fun fun! Go check out the entries (links in her contest announcement).

Oh, I wanna join the contest.
It looks like it needs a hug. I like the black line bits in it, makes it look old school.

I added contrast after scanning it in, and that gave it a sort-of woodcut-y feel.

Good luck with the contest, but hurry! I think there are just a couple of days left.

I think you took something from my picture.[link] but it is very excellent

Yes I definitely used that pic as a sketch reference. Have edited the description to note that.
