You all act like he is gone for ever! I can tell you now and for the last time, he isn't dead. He is just a secondary now, I didn't want to get rid of him, and withing the last 3 years I had him there has been major design changes, he is finalized now, same with my magpie.
My bird is my main identification now as a fursona and it has been like that for a year. :>
I do have some unfinished pics of my lizard plus some commissions I got drawn.
