I first create this creature with no name back in 2018 only from imagination wanting to get something cute from a round shape.
Now that I learnt how to sculpt in Blender, I decided to test it with this little guy and kind of reverse engineer him.
So here is the process : using the original painting as my main ref, sculpt him then pose him in Blender, then render/paintover in Photoshop along with some non flying birds and reptiles references.
I kind of create a latin name but I like to call him a "Kiwimeleon" as he is based on basically a chameleon with the shape of a kiwi bird.
