The Wheely bird gives off a very unpleasant smell attracting flies to land on his shell which is covered in nasty sticky stuff.He then eats them!
After lunch he roller skates up and down the hills looking for trouble.

Hi!
This is an unusual style but the overall effect is quite amazing! You have done some amazing brushwork here, which adds some very stylistic texture. Nice work!
The only thing that looks out of place in this image is the Wheely bird's legs (not so much the wheels as its legs). The Wheely Bird's legs lack shadows which give them a very 'flat' look. I'd suggest adding some definitive highlights and shadows to the Wheely Bird's legs to make the legs look more 3D and give them more depth.
This really is a good manip!

Cheers Barbara.

Embracing your dark side is like beeing religous, you start harming others based on your inner belifes that you got from the outside.
