Description
Saved the BEST for LAST!
Before I ever came up with the idea for drawing the other animals, I CRAVED to do a picture of the flut-flut, my most FAV animal from the games. More specifically, a pic of (my OWN personal interpretation) of how the ADULT flut-flut might look... So I did. And I am UBER proud of this one, even though I have yet to finish inking it. Wasn't sure if I should just go with the indistinct feathers on the wings, like the baby has, but decided to go CRAZY and draw individual FEATHERS. UGH. Looked up REAL birds online for THAT, I tell you NOW.
But, yes, I love this one to DEATH; the adult Flut-flut came out looking more like a phoenix, but thatβs what I WAS going for, so its all good! =^w^=
the tail/crest feathers... just NOT fun to ink... 
Note: the adult and the baby are NOT drawn to scale with one another - I figure the adult has to be WAY bigger than the baby, if it lays an egg THAT big. *glup* 0_o Just wanted them both in the same picture with one another. ^^
~More bio lessons!
Flut-Flut: most likely carnivorous, possibly omnivorous
Uses: Sitting on its back and hopping/flying around...?
Found: Past. Rare. Believed to be extinct in future. Nests in high mountainous/cliff-like areas.
Info: Behaves mostly like a bird of prey - feeds on small(er) mammals, fish, and lurker beasts, (when not busy being outnumbered and run off by them.) Has human speech capabilities/intelligent. Long lived.
Breeding pairs mate for life, having one or two eggs at a time. Slow breeding = low numbers.
Pretty birdies⦠XD
Flut-Flut and concept belongs to Naughty Dog
Adult Flut-Flut design belongs to MEH, E.G.

AWW the baby is cute and the adult is beautiful. Reminds me of a phoenix.
I bet those adults can actually FLY... ^_^
I liked your scientific outline of the flut flut. It's always really fun to apply such things to the J&D world.

*cheers silently* Yes, someone else saw the phoenix-ness!
And, YES, it is FAR too much fun to add all kinds of details and decriptions and such to their world - makes it feel so much more REAL! (You do a mightly fine job of that yurself, dunt cha know! XD) Thank you so much for the kind comments!

I'm stunned and impressed.
That's a very good interpretation of what a adult Flut Flut would look like.
Are you ever thinking of coloring it? Either by color pencils, watercolors, or Photoshop?

(*slowly falls off chair* Hey! Yur the person from FF.net, arn't you? My first reviewer! 
Anyway, thank you the lovely comments! ^w^ Yeah, i'm planning on coloring it eventually, likely with color pencils. *would use photoshop if i HAD it/knew HOW to use it...* Just have ta get around to it...

NEEEEEEEEE GAWDS MAH TWIN IS SUCH A GENUIS IT SIMPLY HURTS X_____X
The MAIN thing I love about this is like, YKNOWYKNOWYNKOW seeing something so SILLY in the first game, just as alil birdy ride whenever you needed it... turn into this BIG, MAGNIFICENT THING. That like, blows you away! I mean, cant you just SEE (if Jak and dax had stayed in sandover, and Keira was conveniently nowhere in sight with her zoomers >_> ) I mean, can tyou just SEE the boys getting in REAL trouble, like on-island-with-rising-water trouble, and then BIG MAMA scoopin' in to save the day!? God, that'd be cool, cos she's just so damn majestic and BOOOOOOF!!! Like brainblowy BOOF! 0_0 nothing like ploof, which may be expressed as displeasure, but BOOF AND WOO!
Anyyyywaayss XD
Okee, first off- BABY FLUTFLUT!@ *ABSOLUTELY SQUEALS* Issa bebe flutflut! Like, BABYBABYVERSE! Aww.. just.. aw. He looks so scrawny. AND CUTE. The litle feather up on his head is priceless- I love it so very muchu, and the shape of ALL his feathers are SO very well made and drawn and formed that its jsut awesome and envy-producing, cos I cant do feathers fo rthe life of me. *gags* The shiny eyes, though- just... gagaliciously cute.. XD The way he's poised, his anatomy (which I dun know much about, being only a 'HEY ITS A BURDEH' person) is flawless and the way he's leaning forward looks like he's gonna scoop ye up for a big ol huggu XD YAAAAY!!
I LOVE how you solidified the head-crest in the adult. She looks so much more feral, but you could still see her nuzzling up to Daxter as 'papa' and scaring the bejeezus outta him XD TEEHEE! *GOOSHES AT IDEAS* All the sketchings in the wings- POIFECT. The ... wow. Just wow. The back anatomy, musculature and feather structure- I LOVE YOU. AND ENVY, AGAIN XD That wingspan is simply stifling. But in a good way. I adore how you incoporated both the images in there, for full effect! <3
OMIGAWDS YOU JUST MADE ME FULLOUT HARDCORE FLUTFLUT FAN GIVE ME MORE?! XD *cackles manically* You bring out the coolest things in me, love. Just dont expect any animals annytime soon.
You RULE, woman @_@ I SO HAPPY COS MAMA-FLUTFLUT EEZ GONNA BAIHTE MAH HEAYD AWFF! OmiGAWDrfe8wef! XP

but mwwaha! I've made a flut-flut fan outta ya! XD *cackles, and throws Offical Flut-Flut Fan Club (TM) pins and plushies and tshirts and mugs and costers.and... *shot** XD;;;

[hugs] I bleed for you. NOONE HAS COMMENTED TT_TT. [stabs them]
Anyway! I love these pictures! You have such talent, y'know? I wish i could draw half as well as you can. But one can achieve that only through practise. [practises like a ninja]
FAvey, definently. Keep up the awesomeness!
