Creature Concept Sketch: Southern Quilled Seraph (fictional avianoid)
Digital sketch of a bird-like monster standing with its wings folded. Its mouth is closed, and its head is facing straight right. Its body is mostly turned away from the viewer, with its tail slack and dragging on the ground.
Its beak and two-toed feet are yellow in color, and its eyes are bright green. Most of the feathers on its body are a warm grey shade, with a broad red stripe down its back and tail. Additionally, there is a large patch of red in the center of itis chest. Its wing feathers, as well as some scattered feathers across its body, are a shiny iridescent black. It has a bright red wattle on the underside of its head, which is patterned with black markings.
Porcupine-like quills sprout from beneath the feathers on the monster's back, as well as the backs of its wings. Along its relaxed tail there are 3 more (shorter) wing-like appendages. The head has two pairs of eyes; one is large, and located on the side of the head, and the other is small, and faces forwards from a hole on the from side of the beak.
The top beak has a large Smilodon-like fang growths on each side. On the bottom half of the beak, a patterned crest sprouts and curves backwards between the fangs. Above the front pair of eyes on the beak, there are hornbill-like growths that shade the eyes.
