    Fabulous!! – if Leonardo had designed a Puffin, it would have looked like this! – you are a curious and unique artist FD…......k

  • Firedrake replied

    Haha, thanks! Leonardo should have designed his wings for him…they’d have been a steam powered delicate system of strings and levers and all the angles would have added up to some divine number…

    good work, thought the red feathers were fire initailly, icarus beakface
    really like the emotions your portray in the beakfaces, i have a sneaking suspicion they are up to no good, but always find myself empathizing with them
    great illustrative stye as always

    Wonderful work again, love the colours. Of course I noticed your taped on feathers, some fallen off, great touch to detail as always. Love these little details in your work, really makes it so quirky and unique.

  • Firedrake replied

    They always tape on their feathers, silly beasts! Surely there are better ways!

    He’s gonna be in trouble if keeps losing feathers.

    Gorgeous.

  • Firedrake replied

    Yes practicality is not a strong trait in the beakfaces! I think it will all end in tears…

    hehe, i love his gorgeous worried little eye

  • Firedrake replied

    He is one of my favourites!
    I love his stuck out little legs, not streamlined at all but he is worried about crashlanding :)

    Can we see him with his parachute?

  • Firedrake replied

    Parachute? As if he would be that organised.

    Haha kidding – really good idea actually! I’m picturing a banksy-style beakface floating down to earth…

    This guys great :)
    I hope he was an example of what-not-to-do to the other less-evolved beakfaces, LOL!

  • Firedrake replied

    If there were a beakface Darwin Awards, he’d get a mention!
