Description
Decided to go back at my Kelenken portrait and add new details. For now I consider the facial texture of terror birds to beconvergently similar to modern birds of prey. This option makes the most sense to me.
Art by me, Shin Red Dear

Very well done, but my only nitpick is that the face is too short.

Really? 0o I used skeletal references though. Maybe I messed it up because of my angle of work. Would you give me
an accurate reference so I may udpate it?
