    Ugly little bugger almost looks like a cloned Ewok...lololol. I like how the legs are different. Nice work

    Dan, a charming critter It's a great flip and I love his little beak. I'd like to see the white spot on the chest toned down a hair?

    Very well done, Dan! The face looks fantastic and you did a great job of keeping the lower half looking natural.

    Dan, Great looking flip. I love the title and it fits perfectly!! I like that you left two legs but still really changed the entire look!

    Flipping cool! I love to see new species, and I know you have the record for capturing all of them. Nice leg work.

    What a creature you created Dan! Nice flip, and you made it look like it could almost really exist. (maybe after a nuclear powerplant meltdown!) Well done!
