I think it looks adorable! Nice work on the details by the way. I think it looks pretty interesting with the cartoon style.

Great details! You don't often see birds drawn with the feather-poofing thing they like to do. Ah, birds.

Hello from ProjectComment !
I love the parrot character, it reminds me of some old 2D animation. It almost talks to me out of the screen!
Iβd like to talk about the color scheme. Neutral grays of the parrot work really well with the muted red and does not look foreign to it, but I feel that the green background ruins the neat impression. It is far too saturated for the gray parrot who looks like a dead spot on the green, and the lighter green strokes are just too blurry for the clean lines and cell shading on the bird itself. Either drpopping the background altogether or restricting it to a (dark, desaturated grayish-green) circle would make this work look really professional.
I just love the cell shading on the plumage and especially on the legs. However I am afraid that the boundary between the blank back and the feathered throat is a bit too sharp: I would have either dropped the line art for the one or two layers of feathers near the border or Iβd use the middle gray for their shading instead of the darker one.
To sum it up, I should say that I just love this old school animation kind parrot, it radiates charisma, and Iβd love to see a cartoon with it

Aww.
That is a really sweet thing to say. I was channeling SatAm a lot during this.
Between you and me, I also had a few doubts about the back too.
